Agentic Commerce Protocols | AI Protocols
Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) Stack
Turns your web presence into a self-describing commerce node. We architect and deploy your /.well-known/ucp capability manifest, structured service and catalog feeds, and transport bindings for REST, MCP, and A2A agent discovery.
Executive Summary
Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) implementation publishes a standardized JSON manifest at /.well-known/ucp that declares your organization identity, catalog endpoints, pricing schemas, supported payment rails, and agent transport bindings.

Production Deliverables
- Production /.well-known/ucp manifest endpoint with CORS and edge caching
- Normalized capability catalog mapping every SKU, service tier, SLA, and region
- REST, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) binding descriptors
- Automated schema regression suite verifying manifest integrity on every deploy
Deployment Sequence
01. Catalog & SLA Normalization
Maps complex services, B2B pricing tiers, and regional availability into deterministic JSON schemas.
02. Edge Manifest Publication
Deploys /.well-known/ucp with sub-120ms global edge caching and strict CORS headers for autonomous user agents.
03. Agent Registry Verification
Validates discovery parsing across major commercial agent harnesses and LLM retrieval crawlers.
Technical Questions & Specifications
Does UCP work for B2B service firms as well as product catalogs?
Yes. UCP profiles support structured service offerings, consultation scopes, retainer tiers, SLA commitments, and rules-based quote negotiation endpoints alongside physical or digital SKUs.
How is UCP related to ACP and AP2?
UCP handles capability discovery so an AI agent knows what you sell and how to talk to your systems. ACP executes the interactive quote and checkout session, and AP2 provides cryptographic proof of mandate and payment authorization.
