# Create contact

> Add a client, a supplier or both to Contactos. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/alegra/create_contact

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Add a client, a supplier or both to Contactos.

Alegra API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/alegra.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/alegra/contacts`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates a contact the way + Nuevo Contacto does and returns its contact_id. It sends nothing to the person. Call list_contacts first: Alegra does not stop two contacts with the same name, and a duplicate has to be deleted by hand in Contactos. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | string | yes | Full name or company name. |
| `identification` | string | no | Tax or identification number. |
| `kind` | enum | no | client, supplier or both. Default: client. |
| `email` | string | no | Address invoices are emailed to. |
| `mobile` | string | no | Mobile number. |
| `city` | string | no | City. |
| `address` | string | no | Street address. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
