Mastercard has opened early access to Agent Pay for Machines, helping autonomous AI agents purchase digital services and connecting x402 to the Mastercard network. The tool uses Discovery Service to find service providers and develop plans for user approval; the demonstration involved nine payments, two independent merchants, and one budget, without requiring separate accounts, API key applications, or invoice processing.
