Displaying Internal Entity IDs#

If you work with the Mergado API or MCP, it can be useful to see the internal (database) IDs of individual entities directly in the Mergado Editor interface. The API and MCP tools often return data referenced by these IDs, and without them it can sometimes be difficult to identify which specific entity (project, product, rule…) you are looking at in the UI.

How to enable the display#

Open the API and Access settings.
Turn on the toggle for displaying internal IDs.

By default, this feature is off — users who do not work with the API or MCP see no IDs anywhere, so the display does not clutter the readability of names.

Where IDs appear#

Once enabled, you will see the ID of each entity next to its name, in parentheses. Currently, IDs are displayed in the following overviews:

projects — both for projects and for online stores,
products,
rules,
queries,
elements.

💡 Tip: You can copy any ID with a single click — just click directly on the content in parentheses (a copy icon will appear next to it).

FAQ#

Who can see internal IDs if I don’t enable the feature?#

Nobody. The display is off by default, and without activating it, no IDs will appear in any overview.

What are internal IDs used for?#

They allow you to match the IDs returned by the Mergado API or MCP server with a specific entity (project, online store, product, rule, query, or element) directly in the Mergado Editor interface.

Do I have to copy IDs manually when I want to use them?#

No. You can copy any ID with a single click on the content in parentheses.

Does enabling ID display affect how my project works?#

No. It is a purely visual change in the user interface and has no effect on data processing or the output feed.
