ucp-mcp-server
Lets AI assistants shop at UCP-enabled merchants through tools for discovery, checkout, discounts, fulfillment, and payment.
README
ucp-mcp-server
Let AI assistants shop. An MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI the ability to interact with UCP-enabled merchants.
UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) is Google's new open standard for agentic commerce, backed by Shopify, Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Target, Walmart, and 20+ partners.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard for giving AI assistants access to tools.
This project connects them.
What Can It Do?
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
ucp_discover |
Find out what a merchant supports (capabilities, payment methods) |
ucp_checkout_create |
Start a purchase (add items to cart, set buyer info) |
ucp_checkout_update |
Apply discount codes to an existing checkout |
ucp_checkout_set_fulfillment |
Set up shipping (auto-selects address and delivery option) |
ucp_checkout_complete |
Complete the purchase by submitting payment |
Your AI assistant gets structured, type-safe access to the entire UCP shopping flow. No scraping, no browser automation, no brittle hacks.

ucp_checkout_complete
Complete a checkout by submitting payment. This finalizes the purchase and returns an order ID.
Arguments:
merchant_url (str): Base URL of the merchant
checkout_id (str): The checkout session to complete
payment_handler_id (str): Payment handler to use (from ucp_discover)
card_token (str): Payment token from the provider
card_brand (str): Card brand (e.g., "Visa")
card_last_digits (str): Last 4 digits of the card

order_url: Permalink to the order
Example Conversation
You: "Find out what the flower shop at http://flowers.example.com supports"
Claude: calls ucp_discover "This merchant supports checkout, discounts, and fulfillment tracking. They accept Shop Pay and Google Pay."
You: "Buy 2 bouquets of roses for me"
Claude: calls ucp_checkout_create "I've created a checkout for 2 Bouquet of Red Roses. Total: $70.00. Would you like to proceed?"
You: "Try the code 10OFF first"
Claude: calls ucp_checkout_update "Applied 10OFF - saved $7.00! New total: $63.00."
Why This Exists
Every AI app is going to need shopping capabilities. UCP standardizes how merchants expose commerce APIs. MCP standardizes how AI assistants use tools. This project is the bridge.
Without this, connecting AI to commerce means:
- Scraping websites (brittle, breaks constantly)
- Building custom integrations per merchant (doesn't scale)
- Browser automation (slow, unreliable, expensive)
With UCP + MCP:
- One protocol, every merchant
- Structured data in, structured data out
- Works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant
Development
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/nguthrie/ucp-mcp-server.git
