> ## Documentation Index > Fetch the complete documentation index at: https://docs.whop.com/llms.txt > Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further. > ## Agent Instructions > Treat these docs and the Whop MCP server as the source of truth for Whop API behavior. Don't infer endpoint behavior from marketing pages. > MCP server: connect https://mcp.whop.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, browser sign-in, no API key in the client config) to search these docs and read or change live Whop data. Setup: https://docs.whop.com/developer/guides/ai_and_mcp.md > Whop CLI: install with `curl -fsSL https://whop.com/install.sh | sh` to scaffold, run, and deploy Whop apps and websites. It acts on production, not the sandbox. Agent mode: https://docs.whop.com/cli/agent-mode.md > Plugins: in Claude Code, run `/plugin marketplace add whopio/plugins`, then `/plugin install whop@whop`. Every agent tool: https://docs.whop.com/developer/ai/overview.md > Environments: build and test in the sandbox (API `https://sandbox-api.whop.com/api/v1`, keys at https://sandbox.whop.com/dashboard/developer, SDK environment `Sandbox`; no real money). Production (API `https://api.whop.com/api/v1`, keys at https://whop.com/dashboard/developer, SDK environment `Production`, the SDK default) moves real money, so use it only at launch. The two share no accounts, keys, products, or webhooks, and their keys look identical: never mix them. Comparison: https://docs.whop.com/developer/quickstart.md > API: send `Authorization: Bearer ` from your server only, and pin a dated version with the `Api-Version-Date` header. OpenAPI spec: https://api.whop.com/api/v1/openapi.json > Which API: build on the Current API, whose pages live under https://docs.whop.com/api-reference/ (start at https://docs.whop.com/api-reference/overview.md). Pages under /api-reference/legacy/ are the Legacy API. Use one only when https://docs.whop.com/api-reference/stability.md lists the resource as Legacy-only. # Retrieve payout account > Retrieves the details of an existing payout account.
