Worldpay MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a publicly available set of server specifications and tools that allow developers and merchants to build, test and integrate autonomous AI agents directly with Worldpay’s payment infrastructure.
Available immediately via Worldpay’s Developer Hub and GitHub, the protocol can be downloaded, modified and deployed without licensing fees.
The company said the move responds to rising consumer interest in AI-supported shopping experiences, citing research showing that 44% of American shoppers would be willing to use an AI bot to browse on their behalf.
“Agentic commerce is rapidly emerging as the next evolutionary step in online shopping,” said Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay.
She added that MCP gives developers “the freedom to experiment, build and innovate in a controlled environment” while connecting to Worldpay’s global payments network.
The initiative aims to make AI-facilitated payments seamless by enabling autonomous agents to complete transactions and optimise payment flows.
Worldpay emphasised that MCP is standards-based, interoperable and future-proof, offering direct connectivity to its trusted APIs, which support more than 52 billion transactions annually across 135 currencies.
By reducing integration complexity and shortening time to market, the company expects MCP to give merchants and developers a competitive edge as AI-driven commerce expands.
