\# Create application \*\*Applications\*\* are registered entities within Mercado Pago that act as a unique identifier for managing the authentication and authorization of your implementations. They represent the link between your development and Mercado Pago and constitute the first stage in carrying out the implementation. To create an application, you have three options available: with an \*\*AI agent from your code editor\*\*, with the \*\*Mercado Pago Developers Assistant\*\*, or \*\*manually from the\*\* \[integration Panel\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/panel/app). !\[Three options to create an application\](/images/snippets/create-application/new-create-app-onboarding-es.png) :::::TabsComponent ::::TabComponent{title="Create with AI"} You can use our AI resources to create your application from your IDE or agent in 2 steps. The agent will take care of creating the application in the integration panel and guiding you through the entire configuration. !\[Installing the Mercado Pago plugin\](/images/snippets/create-application/new-create-app-ia-v2-es.png) To do this, you have two options: installing the \[Mercado Pago Plugin\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/mp-plugin/overview), available for Claude Code and Codex, or configuring the \[Mercado Pago MCP Server\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/mcp-server/overview), available for editors such as VS Code and Cursor. Follow the instructions for the option you choose. :::AccordionComponent{title="Plugin"} ### Claude Code Run the following command to install the Mercado Pago plugin for Claude Code. \`\`\`bash claude plugin install mercadopago@claude-plugins-official \`\`\` Once installed, run the \`/mp-connect\` command to authorize the agent's access to your Mercado Pago account. ### Codex Run the following commands to install the Mercado Pago plugin for Codex. \`\`\`bash codex plugin marketplace add mercadopago/mercadopago-codex-marketplace codex plugin add mercadopago@mercadopago-codex-marketplace \`\`\` Once installed, run the \`/mp-connect\` command to authorize the agent's access to your Mercado Pago account. ::: :::AccordionComponent{title="MCP"} ### VS Code Add the following configuration to your \`mcp.json\` file. \`\`\`json { "mcp": { "servers": { "mercadopago-mcp-server": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.mercadopago.com/mcp" } } } } \`\`\` ### Cursor Add the following configuration to your \`mcp.json\` file. \`\`\`json { "mcpServers": { "mercadopago-mcp-server": { "url": "https://mcp.mercadopago.com/mcp" } } } \`\`\` ::: Finally, ask the agent to create your application in Mercado Pago. If you'd like, you can copy and paste the following prompt. \`\`\` I want to implement Mercado Pago on my e-commerce platform. Recommend the ideal payment solution for my project, create the application, and guide me through the implementation. \`\`\` > NOTE > > You can complete the implementation with AI support. If you need help, check the \[Integrate with AI guide\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/ai-resources). :::: ::::TabComponent{title="Create with the Assistant"} You can use the \*\*Mercado Pago Developers Assistant to create your application\*\* conversationally and easily, without navigating through forms. To do this, follow the steps below. 1\. Go to \[Mercado Pago Developers\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers) and log in with your account. 2\. In the bottom right corner of the screen, you'll see the \*\*Assistant\*\* widget. Click to open it. 3\. From there, you can simply ask the Assistant to create your application conversationally, meaning you tell it you want to create an application and interact with the questions and answers. 3\. Next, the Assistant will ask you to provide a series of details to complete the setup: - \*\*Application name\*\*: provide a name that lets you identify your implementation. It accepts a maximum of 100 characters. - \*\*Product to integrate\*\*: from the list of all Mercado Pago payment solutions shown by the Assistant, select the one that best fits your business. 4\. Finally, when the Assistant confirms your application has been created, it will show you the \*\*App ID\*\*, the \*\*Product ID\*\*, and the \*\*integration type\*\*, if applicable. > NOTE > > Once your application is created, the Assistant can help you obtain test credentials, production credentials, or configure Webhooks, as well as suggest how to carry out your implementation based on your platform. :::: ::::TabComponent{title="Create manually"} If you prefer, you can \*\*create your application manually\*\* from the \[integration Panel\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/panel/app) by following the steps below. !\[Mercado Pago Developers panel\](/images/snippets/create-application/new-create-app-panel1-v2-es.png) 1\. Go to \[Mercado Pago Developers\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers) with your Mercado Pago account. 2\. On the home screen, select the \*\*Create in the integration panel\*\* option. > NOTE > > If you already have applications created, go to \*\*Your integrations\*\* and click \*\*Create application\*\*. 3\. In \*\*Choose a solution to integrate\*\*, select \*\*E-commerce platform\*\*. !\[Choose the platform\](/images/snippets/create-application/new-create-app-platforms1-es.png) 4\. In \*\*Choose the platform\*\*, select \*\*Adobe Commerce\*\*. 5\. In \*\*Other information\*\*, enter an \*\*Application name\*\* that lets you identify it. 6\. Accept the \[Privacy Statement\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/privacidad) and the \[Terms and Conditions\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/resources/legal/terms-and-conditions) and click \*\*Create application\*\*. !\[Application creation form (Adobe Commerce)\](/images/snippets/create-application/new-create-app-platforms2-es.png) :::: ::::: In \[Your integrations\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/panel/app), you will be able to view the list of all your created applications and access the \[application details\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/adobe-commerce/resources/application-details) for each of them. > NOTE > > If you wish, you can edit or delete an application. In the latter case, keep in mind that your store will lose the ability to receive payments through the Mercado Pago integration associated with that application. For more information, please refer to the \[Application details\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/adobe-commerce/resources/application-details). ## Obtain test credentials During the implementation process, use :toolTipComponent\[test account’s credentials\]{link="/developers/en/docs/adobe-commerce/resources/test/accounts" linkText="Test accounts" content="Access keys that identify your test user, used during development stages or to test the integration. For more information, visit the link below."} to perform all necessary configurations and validations, ensuring that no real payments are made in production. These credentials simulate the information of a production account, but in a secure testing environment. Keep using the test credentials throughout the entire development phase. Only switch to production credentials once the system has been fully validated and is ready to go live. > WARNING > > \*\*Credentials should only be shared securely and within the Mercado Pago environment\*\*. See the \[Credentials > Share credentials\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/vtex/resources/credentials) documentation to learn how to do it. To obtain the test credentials, follow the steps below. ### 1\. Create a test seller account \[Test accounts\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/vtex/resources/test-accounts) are users who have the same functionalities as a real Mercado Pago user, but allow you to test the operation of your development without compromising real data. Follow the steps below to create a seller test user. 1\. On \[Mercado Pago Developers\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs), navigate to \[Your integrations\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/panel/app) and click on the card corresponding to your application. 2\. On the Application details, go to the \*\*Test accounts\*\* section and click the \*\*+ Create test account\*\* button. !\[create test users\](/images/snippets/legacy/create-testuser-es-v1.png) 3\. On the "Create new account" screen, enter a description to identify the account. 4\. Next, select the country of operation of the account, bearing in mind that this information cannot be edited later. 5\. Inform the type of account you want to create. If you're integrating for someone else, select \*\*Integrator\*\*. If you're the store manager, select \*\*Seller\*\*. 6\. In the available money field, it is not necessary to indicate any value, because it is a seller or integrator test user. 7\. Accept the \[Privacy Statement\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/privacidad) and the \[Terms and Conditions\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs/resources/legal/terms-and-conditions), and click on \*\*Create test account\*\*. !\[create test user form\](/images/snippets/test-cross/test-user-es-create-seller-v1.png) ### Create a test application and obtain credentials 1\. To log into your test account, open an incognito window, go to \[Mercado Pago Developers\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/en/docs), and click the \*\*Sign in\*\* button located in the upper right corner. 2\. Log in as the seller test user created in the previous step. For this, use the username and password assigned to it. Check this data in the \*\*Test accounts\*\* section. 3\. Still in the incognito window, within \[Your Integrations\](https://www.mercadopago.com.co/developers/panel/app), click on \*\*Create application\*\* and follow the steps to create an test :toolTipComponent\[application\]{link="/developers/en/docs/adobe-commerce/create-application#bookmark\_2.\_crear\_aplicaci%C3%B3n\_de\_prueba\_y\_obtener\_credenciales#bookmark\_create\_application" linkText="Create application" content="Entity registered in Mercado Pago that acts as an identifier for managing your integrations. Refer to the Create Application step if you need to learn how to do it."} linked to your seller user. 4\. After creating the :toolTipComponent\[application\]{content="Entity registered in Mercado Pago that acts as an identifier to manage your integrations. Go to the Create application step if you need to know how to do it."}, select it and go to the \*\*Application details\*\*. In the left side menu, go to \*\*Production credentials\*\* to find the :toolTipComponent\[\*\*Public Key and Access Token of the test user\*\*\]{content="Public and private keys of the testing application created with your test user."}.
