# Configuring Anypoint MQ

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Configure Anypoint MQ queues, exchanges, and connected apps to send and retrieve messages.

- [Set Up the Environment and Access Permissions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-access-management)

  Use Access Management to create an environment and manage the roles of users who administer
  Anypoint MQ features in Anypoint Platform for your organization.

- [Configuring and Using Queues](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-queues)

  Create queues, FIFO queues, and dead-letter queues in Anypoint Platform. Send, receive, and purge
  messages from queues.

- [Sending Messages to Multiple Queues Using Message Exchanges](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-exchanges)

  Send messages to multiple standard or FIFO [queues](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-queues) simultaneously by binding those
  queues to a message exchange.

  Route messages to specific queues that are bound to the message exchange by creating _intelligent
  message-routing rules_ on the bindings.

- [Configuring Cross-Region Failover for Standard Queues](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-failover)

  Enable cross-region failover so that if a Mule app can’t reach an Anypoint MQ server in a region,
  it switches to the fallback queue configured in the fallback region.

- [Configuring Connected Apps](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-connected-apps)

  Integrate external applications with Anypoint Platform by using Connected Apps to provide access
  to those applications without sharing your user credentials.

- [Configuring Client Apps](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-client-apps)

  Generate credentials to use for publishing and consuming from a queue when using Anypoint
  Connector for MQ (Anypoint MQ Connector) version 3.x or earlier.

  MuleSoft recommends that you use connected apps rather than client apps to generate credentials.
  For information, see [Configuring Connected Apps](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mq/mq-connected-apps).
