Alipay unveiled its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for payment services this week, enabling merchants and AI developers to use natural language to access Alipay payment services through their preferred MCP clients or AI agents.

The MCP introduces a method for applications to provide relevant information to large language models (LLMs), ensuring these models function effectively within a defined scope. Described as the “USB-C port for AI applications,” MCP standardizes how AI models interact with various data sources and tools.

The newly launched MCP Server allows AI agents to seamlessly connect with Alipay payment services, and is dedicated to assisting AI developers in quickly incorporating payment capabilities into their AI agents.

So far, this MCP Server supports both mobile and web integration, fulfill the payment collection needs of most AI agents. With its support, Alipay users can easily make payments, check payment statuses, and initiate refunds using simple natural language commands.

Meanwhile, to improve integration efficiency between AI agents and external tools, Tbox—Ant Group’s AI agent development platform—introduced an MCP section that supports the deployment and invocation of more than 30 MCP services, such as Alipay, Amap Maps, Google MCP, Slack, GitLab, and the AWS Knowledge Base Retrieval Server.
