The future of commerce isn't just human – it's machines buying on human or organization behalf. MCIP enables AI agents to become real customers and online stores to discover new revenue channels by becoming machine-friendly.
A protocol designed from the ground up for autonomous AI commerce
The MCIP is designed particularly for machine customers, non-human agents. The protocol uses the native language for AI agents - MCP (Model Context Protocol), enabling autonomous commerce decisions. All tools are optimized for machine logic, starting from session management and finishing by cart operations. In this concept, AI agents don't just browse, they execute precise, context-aware transactions at machine speed.
Machine customers can't wait for database syncs. MCIP provides live access to actual inventory, current prices, and real availability across all connected platforms. When an AI agent needs to reorder supplies or find alternatives, it gets real-time data directly from source systems. Perfect for automated procurement, subscription management, and just-in-time purchasing.
Machine customers understand intent, not keywords. Using RAG-powered comprehension, MCIP translates human requests into precise product matches. When someone tells their AI "I need something for my daughter's science project on volcanoes," the agent finds modeling clay, food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar – understanding the complete context of the need.
Machine customers need persistent, intelligent cart handling. MCIP maintains session-based carts that AI agents can build, modify, and optimize across multiple interactions. Agents can compare total costs across stores, apply coupons, calculate shipping, and even hold items while awaiting user confirmation. True autonomous commerce capability in one protocol.
Modular design ensures flexibility, security, and performance
Provides a universal MCP toolset that any AI agent can autonomously discover and use for machine-friendly commerce operations.
Translates natural-language inputs into actionable commerce operations, coordinating multi-agent workflows seamlessly.
Connects with any store’s native API, managing authentication, rate limits, and data normalization for frictionless interoperability.
