Track; not yet
- Why
- The only substantive evidence is first-party. The Amex press release and engineering blog describe a concrete design: Create Intent API, an Intent ID and a JWT Proof of Intent Token with max amount, expiry, merchant and transaction-count constraints. Independent trade press (e.g. The Paypers, 14 Oct 2026) repeats Amex's description but names no adopters or implementations, and Amex gives no schema, launch date or rollout details. The April 2026 ACE Kit post lists SDKs, Agent Skills, an MCP server and reference implementations as future work. It aligns with the broader move to bind intent to payment credentials (Mastercard Verifiable Intent, AP2), so it is worth watching, but it cannot yet be built against.
- Next
- Watch americanexpress.io and the Amex developer portal for the Create Intent API spec, ACE Kit SDK/MCP server release, and named issuer or agent-platform adopters; compare the token model with Mastercard Verifiable Intent and AP2 mandates.
