Worldpay, a global leader in payment technology, has launched Worldpay MCP (Model Context Protocol), a publicly available set of server specifications and tools designed to accelerate AI-powered payment integration and facilitate innovation in agentic commerce.
Worldpay MCP is accessible on Worldpay’s Developer Hub and Github, allowing developers and merchants to download, modify, and deploy the protocol immediately. This enables the rapid creation of AI agents and direct payment integrations with Worldpay’s API. This launch supports Worldpay’s focus on innovation in the commerce sector.
The introduction of Worldpay MCP comes as consumer expectations are shifting toward autonomous, AI-driven experiences. Worldpay research indicates that 44% of American shoppers would engage an AI bot to browse on their behalf, suggesting a move toward intelligent agents making purchases for consumers.
Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay, stated, “Agentic commerce is rapidly emerging as the next evolutionary step in online shopping. By launching Worldpay MCP, we are addressing the demand from developers and merchants, providing them with the flexibility to experiment, build, and innovate in a controlled environment while connecting directly to our global payment infrastructure. Our aim is to make all protocols work together for sellers.”
Worldpay MCP seeks to inspire innovation in agentic commerce, anticipating growing consumer interest. By enabling agentic payments, where autonomous AI agents facilitate transactions and optimize payment flows, businesses can deliver seamless, personalized, and efficient commerce experiences.
Worldpay MCP offers several advantages for developers and merchants. It is open and free, available on GitHub, meaning developers can use the protocol without licensing fees or proprietary restrictions. The developer-first approach simplifies AI agent integration and payment infrastructure testing, which can reduce integration complexity and accelerate time to market.
The protocol is optimized for direct connectivity with Worldpay’s global payment APIs, ensuring robust and secure payment processing for select Worldpay merchants worldwide. Developers can build, test, and launch with confidence, backed by Worldpay’s global scale, which includes processing over 52 billion transactions annually, holding more than 60 acquiring licenses, and supporting over 135 currencies. This provides a secure environment for real-time testing and configuration validation before deployment to production. Furthermore, Worldpay MCP is built on the open Model Context Protocol, promoting interoperability and scalability across evolving AI ecosystems.
