## Choose your path

| Your goal | Recommended tool | Best for |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Talk to Pine Labs APIs from Claude, Cursor, or VS Code | [MCP Server](ai/mcp-server) | Developers, support, ops teams |
| Build a payment agent inside your app | [Agent Toolkit](ai/agent-enablement-toolkit) | Engineers using LangChain / OpenAI / Vercel AI SDK |
| Automate workflows visually | [n8n Node](ai/n8n-node) | Low-code builders and ops automation |

<Callout type="tip" title="New here?">
Start with the [MCP Server](ai/mcp-server) if you want the fastest way to interact with Pine Labs APIs. It is fully hosted — no infrastructure to deploy.
</Callout>

## Prerequisites

1. An active **Pine Labs Online merchant account** — [sign up](https://dashboardv2.pluralonline.com/signup).
2. **API credentials** (`Client ID` and `Client Secret`) generated from the [Pine Labs Dashboard](https://dashboardv2.pluralonline.com/login).
3. **Node.js 18+** for the Agent Toolkit and n8n nodes; **Node.js 22+** for the hosted MCP Server.

## Next steps

- Set up the [MCP Server](ai/mcp-server) and connect it to your AI client.
- Explore the [Agent Toolkit](ai/agent-enablement-toolkit) to embed payments inside an AI agent.
- Install the [n8n Node](ai/n8n-node) to automate payment links and orders without code.
