It's Buzzing is an integrated local commerce and community platform founded in Birmingham, Alabama by Kori White, a 30-year media and digital veteran formerly of Summit Media.

The platform serves four primary audiences: local businesses growing their digital presence; churches and nonprofits managing attendance and ministry; creators and media personalities building audience and monetizing content; and ambassadors and media affiliates (radio stations, TV, podcasts) earning commission by referring clients. With 500+ businesses on paid plans and a growing ambassador network, It's Buzzing functions as both a local discovery tool and a business management suite.

","heading":"Core Products & Features"},{"content":"

It's Buzzing is one of the few local commerce platforms with a fully documented AI agent API, a public WebMCP discovery endpoint, and a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool manifest \u2014 meaning AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Perplexity can directly query and act on It's Buzzing data without any custom integration work.

AgentReady is the platform's B2B AI agent integration layer. Businesses and developers obtain scoped API tokens that give their AI agents controlled access to It's Buzzing data and actions. Each token is tied to a specific business, role, and set of approved scopes. HMAC-signed webhook delivery ensures actions dispatched by agents are authenticated. Staff can self-issue tokens at /admin/agents/dashboard.

WebMCP / MCP Discovery \u2014 It's Buzzing publishes a public MCP manifest at https://itsbuzzing.com/.well-known/mcp.json and a tool manifest at https://itsbuzzing.com/api/v1/mcp/manifest.json. These endpoints allow any MCP-compatible AI client to auto-discover available tools and begin making structured calls without manual configuration. Per-client manifests are also available at https://itsbuzzing.com/agent-ready/<client_key>/manifest with client-specific tool definitions, and /agent-ready/<client_key>/llms.txt for plain-text LLM consumption.

65+ Agent Scopes \u2014 The platform exposes a granular permission system covering every major product area. Agents can be granted read and/or write access across the following domains:

Approval-gated scopes \u2014 payments.write.requires_approval, email.send.requires_approval, sms.send.requires_approval, public_publish.requires_approval, events.publish.requires_approval \u2014 require a human review step before the agent action executes, ensuring high-risk operations are never fully autonomous.

BuzzIQ AI Co-Pilot \u2014 The platform's internal agent automates CRM follow-up, outreach drafting, signal analysis, referral scoring, and content generation across all business accounts. Powered by Claude Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.6 with prompt caching for cost efficiency. Accessible via itsbuzzing.com/agent-platform.
