Visa Opens MCP Server, Pilots Acceptance Agent Toolkit for Agentic Commerce

Visa says the new stack creates a secure standard that cuts agentic-commerce prototyping from weeks to hours.

Overview

  • Production access to the Model Context Protocol server is now open in pilot, letting AI agents connect to Visa Intelligent Commerce APIs.
  • The Acceptance Agent Toolkit pilot lets nontechnical teams create invoices, payment links, and revenue summaries through natural-language prompts.
  • Visa describes MCP as a reusable integration layer for agents and plans to extend it beyond Intelligent Commerce to its broader API portfolio.
  • External tests are expanding to developers and merchants, with several large retailers exploring holiday-season pilots.
  • Visa’s trust model anchors agents to bank-authenticated identity, tokenized credentials, and enriched data to support dispute resolution and liability assignment.
