Cobra con Mercado Pago en 10 segundos.

npm version tests coverage license

CobroYa is an open-source Mercado Pago payment tool for AI agents, Telegram, WhatsApp, and automation platforms. Create payment links, search payments, issue refunds -- all from your AI assistant or chat bot.

Website | npm | GitHub


Quick Start with AI

CobroYa is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Add it to your AI tool in one step -- no cloning, no building. Just provide your Mercado Pago access token.

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cobroya": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cobroya"],
      "env": {
        "MERCADO_PAGO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "APP_USR-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add cobroya -- npx -y cobroya \
  --env MERCADO_PAGO_ACCESS_TOKEN=APP_USR-...

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cobroya": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cobroya"],
      "env": {
        "MERCADO_PAGO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "APP_USR-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to your Windsurf MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cobroya": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cobroya"],
      "env": {
        "MERCADO_PAGO_ACCESS_TOKEN": "APP_USR-..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Once configured, ask your AI assistant things like: "Create a payment link for $5000 for a Python course" or "Show me today's approved payments".


Available Tools

CobroYa exposes 5 MCP tools that any connected AI agent can call:

Tool

Telegram Bot

CobroYa includes a ready-to-use Telegram bot: @CobroYa_bot

Self-hosting the bot

  1. Create a bot via @BotFather and get your token.

  2. Set environment variables:

npm run bot

WhatsApp

CobroYa supports WhatsApp Business Cloud API for receiving commands and sending payment notifications.

  1. Create a Meta app at Meta for Developers and enable WhatsApp Business API.

  2. Set environment variables:

export WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-meta-graph-api-token"
export WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID="your-phone-number-id"
export WHATSAPP_VERIFY_TOKEN="your-webhook-verify-token"
  1. Run the webhook server:

npm run whatsapp
# Starts on http://localhost:3000/webhook
  1. Expose with ngrok (ngrok http 3000) and configure the webhook URL in your Meta Dashboard.

For full details on supported commands and payment notifications, see the WhatsApp documentation.


Automation Platforms

AI Framework Adapters

LangChain (Python)

pip install langchain-mercadopago
from langchain_mercadopago import create_mercadopago_tools

tools = create_mercadopago_tools("APP_USR-...")

# Use with any LangChain agent
from langchain.agents import initialize_agent, AgentType
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

agent = initialize_agent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4"),
    agent=AgentType.OPENAI_FUNCTIONS,
)
agent.run("Create a payment link for $5000 for a Python course")

PyPI

OpenAI Function Calling (TypeScript)

npm install openai-mercadopago
import { createMercadoPagoExecutor } from "openai-mercadopago";

const executor = createMercadoPagoExecutor(process.env.MERCADO_PAGO_ACCESS_TOKEN!);

// Pass executor.definitions to OpenAI's tools parameter
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-4",
  messages,
  tools: executor.definitions,
});

// Execute the tool call
const result = await executor.handleToolCall(
  toolCall.function.name,
  JSON.parse(toolCall.function.arguments),
);

npm


Programmatic Usage

Install as a dependency:

npm install cobroya
import { createMercadoPagoTools } from "cobroya";

const mp = createMercadoPagoTools(process.env.MERCADO_PAGO_ACCESS_TOKEN!);

// Create a payment link
const pref = await mp.tools.create_payment_preference({
  title: "Premium Plan",
  quantity: 1,
  currency: "ARS",
  unit_price: 5000,
});
console.log(pref.init_point); // Checkout URL to share with the buyer

// Search approved payments
const payments = await mp.tools.search_payments({ status: "approved", limit: 10 });

// Get payment details
const payment = await mp.tools.get_payment({ payment_id: "123456789" });

// Full refund
await mp.tools.create_refund({ payment_id: "123456789" });

// Partial refund
await mp.tools.create_refund({ payment_id: "123456789", amount: 500 });

// Merchant profile
const merchant = await mp.tools.get_merchant_info();

Error Handling

import { MercadoPagoError } from "cobroya";

try {
  await mp.tools.get_payment({ payment_id: "invalid" });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof MercadoPagoError) {
    console.log(err.status);        // 404
    console.log(err.isNotFound);     // true
    console.log(err.isUnauthorized); // false
    console.log(err.isRateLimited);  // false
  }
