CSC Generation

aid: csc-generation
name: CSC Generation
description: CSC Generation is an AI-native retail holding company that acquires overlooked store- and catalogue-based retailers
  and rebuilds them on Genesis, its agent-orchestrated operating platform. Genesis combines a Data Fabric — a Data Management
  Platform that ingests and normalizes data across every brand without replatforming, and a Data Intelligence Platform that
  turns it into decision-ready signals for operators and AI agents — with an automation engine, proprietary retail AI tools,
  and centralized shared services covering customer experience, supply chain, technology and compliance. The company powers
  13 brands and more than $1B in revenue, including Backcountry, Competitive Cyclist, Steep & Cheap, MotoSport, BikeTiresDirect,
  Level Nine Sports, Sur La Table, One Kings Lane, Seattle Coffee Gear and Home Consignment Center, and operates from Chicago,
  Austin, Los Angeles, Toronto, Seattle and Salt Lake City. CSC Generation publishes no corporate developer API; its machine-readable
  surface is per-brand — portfolio storefronts advertise Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profiles at /.well-known/ucp
  that point agents at MCP endpoints for catalog search, cart and checkout.

- name: Backcountry Agent Commerce (UCP)
  description: Backcountry, a CSC Generation brand, publishes a Universal Commerce Protocol merchant profile at its own /.well-known/ucp
    declaring UCP 2026-01-23 with both REST and MCP transports for the shopping service — catalog search and lookup, cart,
    checkout, fulfillment, discount and order — hosted by Firmly on the merchant's behalf. Anonymous tools/list returns 401
    api_key_required, so the surface is credential-gated.

  description: Seattle Coffee Gear, a CSC Generation brand, publishes a Universal Commerce Protocol merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp
    declaring UCP 2026-04-08 (Shopify-native) with MCP and embedded transports, plus its own agent instructions at /llms.txt
    and /agents.md covering the six-step search-to-checkout flow, the buyer-approval rule, rate limits and an unauthenticated
    read-only storefront JSON surface. Anonymous tools/list returns 422 invalid_profile_url — the store requires the calling
    agent to present its own UCP profile URI.
