# Create A Ramp Client

The `MceRampClient` is your entry point for all ramp operations. It authenticates against the MCE API using a client ID and secret, which you should keep server-side.

```
import { MCE_PRODUCTION_BASE_URL, MceRampClient } from "@cityprotocol/core";

const rampClient = new MceRampClient({
  clientId: process.env.MCE_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.MCE_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  baseUrl: MCE_PRODUCTION_BASE_URL,
});
```

The `MCE_PRODUCTION_BASE_URL` constant is exported from the package so you don't have to hardcode endpoints. Pass your credentials via environment variables and you're good to go.
