## Build with AI Coding Agents
To integrate Dodo Payments with a coding agent, install the Agent Plugin. It gives your coding agent two MCP servers, one to search the Dodo Payments documentation and one to run API operations, plus skills that describe how to build each integration. After you install it, describe what you want to build.
Installs both MCP servers and all seventeen skills in Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code / GitHub Copilot, Kiro, or OpenCode.
Semantic search across the Dodo Payments documentation.
Runs API operations such as creating payments, managing subscriptions, and issuing refunds.
To install the plugin in Claude Code, run:
```bash theme={null}
claude plugins marketplace add dodopayments/dodo-agent-plugin
claude plugins install dodopayments@dodopayments
```
For other agents, see [Build with AI Coding Agents](/developer-resources/build-with-ai-coding-agents#install-the-plugin). To install the skills without the plugin, run:
```bash theme={null}
npx skills add dodopayments/skills
```
To install individual skills or set them up in other clients, see [Agent Skills](/developer-resources/agent-skills).
To connect an MCP client such as Windsurf, Claude Desktop, Cline, or Zed, add both servers to its configuration. This requires Node.js 18 or later:
```json theme={null}
{
"mcpServers": {
"dodo-knowledge": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://knowledge.dodopayments.com/mcp"]
},
"dodopayments": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.dodopayments.com/mcp"]
}
}
}
```
