The future of commerce is shifting towards autonomous, AI-driven experiences where intelligent agents act on behalf of consumers. To power this transition, Worldpay, a global leader in payment technology, has launched its Worldpay Model Context Protocol (MCP), a publicly available set of server specifications and tools. This initiative is designed to accelerate AI-powered payment integration and serve as a foundational building block for the emerging field of agentic commerce.
Worldpay has launched a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
It allows developers to build AI agents that integrate with Worldpay's payment APIs.
The tools are available for free on Worldpay's Developer Hub and GitHub.
The move responds to growing consumer interest in AI-driven shopping agents.
It aims to simplify integration and accelerate time-to-market for new commerce experiences.
The protocol is backed by Worldpay's global scale and secure payment infrastructure.
This launch directly addresses a shift in consumer behavior, with recent Worldpay research indicating that 44% of American shoppers would engage an AI bot to browse on their behalf. The Worldpay MCP provides developers and merchants with the tools to download, modify, and deploy the protocol immediately. This developer-first approach simplifies the process of creating and testing AI agents that can facilitate transactions and optimize payment flows, enabling businesses to deliver more seamless and personalized commerce experiences.
Available for free on GitHub, the Worldpay MCP offers a competitive edge by being open and free from proprietary restrictions. It is optimized for direct connectivity with Worldpay's trusted global payment APIs, ensuring robust and secure payment processing. Crucially, it allows developers to build, test, and launch with confidence, as it is backed by Worldpay's massive scale—processing over 50 billion transactions annually—and provides a secure environment to validate configurations before deploying to a live production setting.
By launching a publicly available MCP server, Worldpay is positioning itself at the center of the agentic commerce ecosystem. This move provides the essential infrastructure for developers to innovate freely while ensuring that the resulting AI-driven transactions are processed through a secure, scalable, and globally trusted payments network.
