# Build with Lithic

Card issuing, money movement, and program management — everything you need to launch a payments product, in one modern API.

## Build with Lithic

Four ways to get up and running — from your first request to production traffic.

### MCP Server
Bring Lithic into Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and other AI editors — search docs and run live API calls in flow.

### API Reference
Every endpoint, parameter, and webhook — with copy-pasteable examples in your language of choice.

### Sandbox
A safe environment mirroring production — run cards, transactions, and webhooks end-to-end.

### Developer
Authentication, environments, rate limits, and idempotency — the fundamentals every integration needs.
