Worldpay Accelerates the Future of Agentic Commerce with Model Context Protocol (MCP): A Publicly Available Server Powering AI-Driven, Agent-Enabled Payments

Worldpay MCP opens new possibilities for developers to create and test AI agents and payments infrastructure integrations directly with Worldpay APIs

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Worldpay®, a global leader in payment technology, has announced the launch of Worldpay MCP (Model Context Protocol), a publicly available set of server specifications and tools, designed to accelerate AI-powered payment integration and open the door for agentic commerce innovation. This launch marks the next milestone in Worldpay’s ongoing focus on innovation, shaping the future of commerce.

Worldpay MCP is available today on Worldpay’s Developer Hub and Github. Developers and merchants can download, modify, and deploy the protocol immediately, enabling the rapid creation of AI agents and direct payment integrations with Worldpay’s API.

The launch comes at a time when consumer expectations are shifting towards more autonomous, AI-driven experiences. According to recent Worldpay research, nearly half of American shoppers (44%) say they would engage an AI bot to browse on their behalf, a clear signal that commerce is moving towards intelligent agents searching and making purchases for consumers.

“Agentic commerce is rapidly emerging as the next evolutionary step in online shopping,” said Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay. “By launching Worldpay MCP, we’re answering the demand of developers and merchants, giving them the freedom to experiment, build and innovate in a controlled environment, while connecting directly to our global payment infrastructure. We’re not adding another protocol, we’re making them all work together for sellers.”

Worldpay MCP looks to inspire innovation in agentic commerce as consumers grow increasingly interested in its possibilities. By enabling agentic payments in which autonomous AI agents facilitate transactions and optimize payment flows, businesses can deliver seamless, personalized, and efficient commerce experiences.

How Worldpay MCP Offers Developers and Merchants a Competitive Edge:

• Open and Free: Worldpay MCP is publicly available on GitHub, allowing developers to employ the protocol in their technology without licensing fees or proprietary restrictions.
