Announcing the First Pagos MCP Server: A New Way to Access BIN-Data

The Pagos team is excited to announce our first step toward a more open, accessible future for payments intelligence: we're starting with an MCP Server for our direct-to-network BIN data solution! This release not only makes it possible to query BIN data through your preferred AI agent and client, but it also marks the beginning of a new era at Pagos—one where AI-native functionality fundamentally changes how you use and analyze payments data.

What Is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol designed by Anthropic to standardize how applications provide information and context to large language models (LLMs). It defines a consistent, structured way for LLMs to securely query external data through lightweight local servers. 

Each MCP server surfaces a specific capability, ultimately allowing you to plug powerful, real-time context into your AI agents—without having to build out unstructured hacks. As AI agents take on more responsibility in assisting businesses in payment operations (e.g. managing, routing, and analyzing transactions) they need reliable context. That’s where the Pagos MCP Server comes in: it gives your agents real-time access to the payments intelligence necessary to optimize performance.

Making the Most of BIN Data

Whether you're building a smarter support agent or just integrating BIN data into more workflows, the Pagos MCP server for our BIN database offers a clean, low-lift starting point. And trust us when we say you need to be utilizing BINs and the wealth of data they provide. Don’t believe us?
