Like many initialisms, MP can nowadays be considered a noun in its own right. As a countable noun, it has the forms MP, MP's and MPs, and can be used with determiners and adjectives: an MP, the MP, the new MPs.

Are you wondering whether the use of MP would be considered acceptable as part of a pangram?

I'm curious to know then why you're doing this. Is it for your own pleasure? Or are you taking part in a competition? Who is going to determine whether MP is a legitimate word?

I like to write short pangram without abbreviation.

It's up to you to decide whether you accept MP as a word. I would. A perfectionist might not.

I like to write short pangrams without abbreviations.

In that case, give that context in post #1 each time, and as asked already, post them in General Language Discussions, as it's not an activity most ESL students will need to concern themselves with.
