| 10 | +The Agentic Bill Payments MCP exposes a set of tools that let an AI agent help you discover bills, fetch amounts, pay bills, and track transactions using natural language. Check out our <a href="/payments/billpay/mcp/integration-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">integration guide</a> on how to integrate this seamlessly. |

| 12 | +You don't need to know which tool exists. Just ask naturally. If you're building or testing agents, the mapping below shows how prompts translate to tools. |

| 27 | +## Sample Prompts |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +You can use these prompts directly, and the Agent will know which tool to invoke. For the first time, you might have to allow the Agent to call the tool. These prompts automatically trigger multiple actions behind the scenes. |
