Walmart launches Agent Gateway for AI agent shopping

Walmart launched Agent Gateway, an MCP-based server from Anthropic's protocol, letting approved AI agents search inventory and buy for users with spending and transaction controls across Walmart and Sam's Club. It contrasts with Amazon's blocking of AI agents; Walmart already partners with Meta's Muse and integrates ChatGPT and Gemini.
