UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) is an open standard to make commerce interoperable between platforms, AI agents, and merchants.

This repo curates: - the core UCP spec - SDKs and reference implementations - client/server examples - related protocols and tooling

If you’re building agentic shopping flows, commerce automation, or system-to-system checkout without one-off integrations, this is meant to save you time and reduce glue code.

Early ecosystem, contributions welcome.

This is how shopping will be done in the future.

Built a free validator for this at ucptools.dev - checks /.well-known/ucp compliance against the spec and gives A-F grading with specific fix recommendations.

Interesting finding: tested major retailers and even google.com returns 404 on their UCP endpoint. Early days.

Also made an Apify Actor for bulk validation if anyone needs to check multiple domains programmatically.
