Protocol Commerce

The open infrastructure for agent-native commerce.

Protocol Commerce is an open initiative to create standardized, auditable, and interoperable protocols for AI agent-driven commerce. This repository contains the specification, SDKs, and technical manifesto.

Quick Start

npm install @protocol-commerce/adcp-sdk

import { AdcpClient } from '@protocol-commerce/adcp-sdk';

const client = new AdcpClient({
  serverUrl: 'https://mcp.nexbid.dev',
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
});

const results = await client.search({
  query: 'organic olive oil',
  intent: 'purchase',
  geo: 'CH',
});

The Problem

AI agents are becoming the primary interface for product discovery and purchase. The protocols powering this shift — OpenAI's ACP, Google's UCP — are proprietary and platform-controlled. Publishers have no representation. There is no open standard.

Protocol Commerce fills this gap.

Key Principles

1. Open by Default — MIT-licensed, auditable, forkable

2. Publisher Parity — Publishers are first-class protocol participants

3. Privacy Native — Context signals, not user profiles

4. Transparent Scoring — Public formula: score = 0.4×bid + 0.4×relevance + 0.2×quality

Any MCP-compatible LLM (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) can directly search, browse, and purchase products through the Nexbid marketplace.

Why Formal Verification?

Nexbid is the only commerce platform whose core security properties are mathematically proven in Lean 4 — not just tested, but proven correct for all possible inputs.
