Visa introduced Visa Intelligent Commerce, an initiative to empower agents to shop and buy.

Visa’s MCP gateway connects AI agents directly to Visa Intelligent Commerce APIs and allows them to discover, authenticate and invoke integrated services like Tokenization, Authentication and Personalization to build intelligent, payment-enabled experiences.

For developers, the MCP Server provides a faster path from idea to a secure, working agent:

1. No need to hand-code every API call

2. Prototypes in hours, not weeks

3. Lets agents dynamically apply Visa APIs in new contexts

The result → AI agents that browse, buy, and transact on your behalf.

Also piloting the Visa Acceptance Agent Toolkit, built on MCP. It lets developers and business users trigger Visa Acceptance actions with plain-language prompts—no code required.
