Polar MCP connector

The Polar connector brings your Polar checkouts, checkout links, benefits, benefit grants, custom fields, customer meters and downloadables into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client, so your team can ask about them and act on them under their own access.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

How to connect Polar to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Two steps, about a minute.

1

In Elaichi

Connect Polar once

  1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick Polar.

  2. Optionally set Share with to give a team access, then press Connect.

  3. Paste a Polar API key. One person generates a token in Polar and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it.

The credential is vaulted. Nobody reads it back, not even the AI.

Use cases

What teams do with Polar through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Sales

    Spin up a checkout link for a prospect

    Create a Polar checkout link for a specific product or bundle while you are still on the call, and send it before the prospect has moved on. Pull the link back up later to check whether it has been used.

  • Support

    Find out what a customer is entitled to

    Look up a customer's benefit grants in Polar to confirm which license keys, downloads or Discord access they should have. Fetch the downloadable they are asking about instead of hunting for it in the dashboard.

  • Finance

    Review checkouts from the past week

    List recent Polar checkouts, see which ones completed and which stalled, and get a plain summary of what came through. Check a single checkout by its reference when a customer disputes a charge.

  • Product

    Keep benefits current as the plan changes

    Create a new Polar benefit when you launch a feature, update the description of an existing one, and list every benefit to confirm each tier is offering what the pricing page says.

  • Product

    Check how much a customer has used

    Read a customer meter in Polar to see how much of a metered allowance a customer has consumed this period, before you decide whether to reach out about an upgrade.

  • Operations

    Add a question to the checkout form

    Create or update a Polar custom field to collect a VAT number, company name or referral source at checkout, and list the existing fields so you do not add one twice.

Try asking

  • “List active Polar subscriptions renewing in the next 14 days.”
  • “Create a Polar checkout link for the annual Pro plan.”
  • “Which Polar benefit grants were revoked last month?”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Polar to Claude?

Connect Polar in Elaichi by pasting the API key from your Polar organization settings, then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and enter https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register in Polar and no client ID or secret to generate. Once Claude has the endpoint you sign in to Elaichi as yourself and Polar is available in the conversation.

Does Polar work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Polar is connected once in Elaichi, and the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, is added to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. Nothing about the Polar connection changes from one client to the next.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Polar data?

With Polar connected, an agent can list and look up checkouts, create and manage checkout links, create, update and remove benefits, read benefit grants, manage the custom fields on your checkout form, read customer meters and fetch downloadables. In practice that means asking for last week's completed checkouts, creating a checkout link for a product, or confirming which benefits a customer has been granted. Polar has a large catalog of actions, so short concrete asks such as "list checkout links for the Pro plan" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Polar give the AI everything in my Polar organization?

No. Access to Polar follows the API key of the person who connected it, so the agent can only see the Polar organization and records that key can already reach. Elaichi can narrow that further by hiding actions or whole groups of actions from a team, but it can never widen access beyond what Polar itself allows that key.

Can my team share one Polar connection?

Yes. One person connects Polar in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever sees or handles the Polar API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every checkout, benefit or checkout link they touch in Polar is recorded in the audit log under their own name.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Polar?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading Polar checkouts and benefits while blocking the actions that delete a benefit, remove a checkout link or update a custom field. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Polar connection when someone leaves?

When a person is offboarded in Elaichi their access to Polar through every client ends at once. If they had shared a Polar connection with a team, that connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. Disconnecting Polar once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client at the same time.

Does the Polar MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Polar is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Polar?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Polar. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Polar call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Polar?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Polar: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
