I’m assuming you mean the cord and not the socket so you’ll have to purchase a new one. You didn’t say which model you own so I can’t advise any further.

Burnt charger cable caused by working while charging? Two chargers stopped working after a few months of use. In both cases, the spring-loaded pins 2 and 4 are burnt out and no longer move. The corresponding sockets on the macbook plus are also charred. I got it to work one last time and the plug heated up to burn-your-fingers hot. The problem goes away if I charge the computer only with the lid closed, then disconnect it during use. Not a major inconvenience. The 2015 battery still gives me a few hours of use. The plug remains cool while charging. I cleaned the sockets with alcohol and a toothpick. Until now I have always left the charger cable connected all the time. Was that a bad idea from the start, or has something failed in my macbook that makes it bad user behavior now? Will be checking in at the genius bar today.

Buy a new charger or cord, if it's replaceable.
