How to use them in your integration
Find out how you can use each of our tools to assist you at every stage of your integration.
Choose a solution and access its documentation
The Assistant on Mercado Pago Developers can help you identify the most suitable payment solution and integration flow for your use case. You can also use Mercado Pago plugins or the MCP Server (search-documentation tool) to explore API capabilities and compare options without leaving your development environment.
Additionally, all our documentation is available in plain text so you can provide it to any LLM or AI agent. Check the tools table to see how to access it in markdown format.
Create the application and obtain credentials
Mercado Pago MCP Server authenticates with your account via OAuth and, once configured, creates applications and automatically returns credentials through the create_application and get_credentials tools.
You can also use the Assistant on Mercado Pago Developers, which assists you in creating your application.
Integration development
Mercado Pago plugins generate complete scaffolding for any Mercado Pago product and support migrating existing integrations.
The MCP Server queries endpoints, parameters, and flows directly in the official documentation through the search-documentation tool, without leaving the development environment.
The Prompt Library also offers optimized instructions for the most frequent tasks.
Configure notifications
Mercado Pago plugins implement the receiver pattern with HMAC-SHA256 validation and allow configuring, simulating, and diagnosing webhooks.
Mercado Pago MCP Server also configures webhooks and monitors the notifications history without needing to access the panel manually.
Test the integration
Mercado Pago plugins and the MCP Server allow you to create and configure the complete test environment:
- Mercado Pago plugins: create test users, load funds, and explain Mercado Pago's current testing model.
- MCP Server:
create_test_usercreates test users with credentials and balance;add_money_test_useradds funds to an existing user.
Validate quality and go live
Mercado Pago plugins run the official Mercado Pago quality checklist and a cross-cutting security review.
Mercado Pago MCP Server evaluates your integration quality against a real production payment using quality_evaluation and generates specific recommendations to improve your score.
