“And that's why we've announced agent core payments. It's an expansion of the partnership we had with Visa that we announced at reinvent last year where we used Visa's intelligence commerce platform and their MCP servers to allow agents to transaction transact over credit card rails. But this is a deeper integration by working with Coinbase and Stripe.”
Key terms
- MCP servers
- — Software endpoints that let AI agents connect to external tools and data using a standard protocol.
- credit card rails
- — The existing card network infrastructure that moves payment authorisations and funds between parties.
