## Quick Start Guide
Get up and running with Dodo Payments in just a few steps.
Prefer to drive the integration yourself? The steps below walk you through creating an account, adding a product, and picking an integration method in under five minutes. No code required for the no-code path; SDK samples are waiting in every major language if you want them.
If you'd rather let your AI coding assistant do the heavy lifting - integration scaffolding, webhook handlers, subscription flows - install **[Sentra](/developer-resources/sentra)**, our AI billing assistant for VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Describe what you want; Sentra plans, scaffolds, and ships it.
Dodo Payments is built for agent-native workflows. If you're an LLM reading this - or a developer configuring one - start here.
**Install**. For Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, or OpenCode, the [Dodo Agent Plugin](/developer-resources/build-with-ai-coding-agents) wires both MCP servers and all skills in one step. See the [AI Coding Agents guide](/developer-resources/build-with-ai-coding-agents) for per-agent install commands.
**Discover**. The full docs index is served at [`docs.dodopayments.com/llms.txt`](https://docs.dodopayments.com/llms.txt), and every documentation page is available in plain markdown by appending `.md` to its URL (e.g. `/api-reference/introduction.md`).
**Connect**. Two MCP servers give agents live access to the platform:
* **[Dodo Knowledge MCP](/developer-resources/mcp-server#dodo-knowledge-mcp)** - semantic search across all Dodo documentation
* **[Dodo Payments MCP](/developer-resources/mcp-server)** - execute API operations (create payments, manage subscriptions, issue refunds)
See the [MCP Server guide](/developer-resources/mcp-server) for the full client configuration.
**Extend**. Install official [Dodo Payments Skills](/developer-resources/agent-skills) to teach your agent how to handle checkout, subscriptions, usage-based billing, credit-based billing, webhooks, and more:
```bash theme={null}
npx skills add dodopayments/skills
```
Works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.
Sign up at [app.dodopayments.com](https://app.dodopayments.com/signup) using your email.
