What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
polar_list_organizationsList the organisations the token can act for. Start here — most other tools take an organization_id. Polar: GET /v1/organizations/.
polar_list_productsList products, optionally filtered by archived state, recurrence or a text query. Polar: GET /v1/products/.
polar_get_productFetch a single product with its prices and attached benefits. Polar: GET /v1/products/{id}.
polar_list_customersList customers, optionally by email or a text query. Polar: GET /v1/customers/.
polar_get_customerFetch a single customer by Polar id. Polar: GET /v1/customers/{id}.
polar_get_customer_stateFetch everything about one customer in a single call — active subscriptions, granted benefits and entitlements. The best answer to 'what does this customer currently have?'. Polar: GET /v1/customers/{id}/state.
polar_get_customer_state_by_external_idSame as polar_get_customer_state, but looked up by YOUR external id rather than Polar's — the usual path when you hold your own user id. Polar: GET /v1/customers/external/{external_id}/state.
polar_list_ordersList orders, filtered by customer, product, subscription, status or a date window. Polar: GET /v1/orders/.
polar_get_orderFetch a single order with its line items, discount and tax. Polar: GET /v1/orders/{id}.
polar_list_subscriptionsList subscriptions, filtered by customer, product, status, active state or cancellation window. Polar: GET /v1/subscriptions/.
polar_get_subscriptionFetch a single subscription with its product, price and period. Polar: GET /v1/subscriptions/{id}.
polar_get_metricsFetch revenue and subscription metrics over a date range, bucketed by interval — orders, revenue, MRR, active subscriptions. Polar: GET /v1/metrics/.
polar_list_benefitsList benefits — the things a product grants, such as licence keys, file downloads or Discord roles. Polar: GET /v1/benefits/.
polar_list_benefit_grantsList who has been granted one benefit, and whether the grant is still active. Polar: GET /v1/benefits/{id}/grants.
polar_list_discountsList discount codes and their redemption limits. Polar: GET /v1/discounts/.
polar_list_refundsList refunds, filtered by order, subscription, customer or success. Polar: GET /v1/refunds/.
polar_list_license_keysList issued licence keys and their status. Polar: GET /v1/license-keys/.
polar_list_metersList the usage meters that aggregate events into billable quantities. Polar: GET /v1/meters/.
polar_get_meter_quantitiesFetch the aggregated quantities a meter has recorded over a window — what usage-based billing will charge for. Polar: GET /v1/meters/{id}/quantities.
polar_list_eventsList the raw usage events ingested for metering, filtered by customer, meter, name or time. Polar: GET /v1/events/.
polar_list_webhook_deliveriesList webhook delivery attempts with their HTTP results — the tool for 'why did my webhook not arrive?'. Polar: GET /v1/webhooks/deliveries.
polar_list_webhook_endpointsList the configured webhook endpoints and their subscribed events. Polar: GET /v1/webhooks/endpoints.
polar_redeliver_webhook_eventQueue one webhook event for redelivery after your endpoint recovered. Polar: POST /v1/webhooks/events/{id}/redeliver.
polar_create_refundRefund an order, in full or in part. This moves real money back to the customer. Polar: POST /v1/refunds/.
polar_cancel_subscriptionCancel a subscription at the end of its current period. The customer keeps access until then. Polar: PATCH /v1/subscriptions/{id}.
polar_create_checkout_linkCreate a reusable checkout URL for one or more products — the link you put in a page or an email. Polar: POST /v1/checkout-links/.

Common questions
Is Polar MCP by usefulapi safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.4) reached the registry today.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Spree Commerce: open-source B2B and marketplace ecommerce, Stripe MCP, MCP Cn Commerce

Polar MCP by usefulapi
Products, customers, orders, subscriptions, benefits, revenue metrics and refunds. Hosted, no local install.
Live endpoint: https://polar-sh.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://polar-sh.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http polar-sh https://polar-sh.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": { "polar-sh": { "url": "https://polar-sh.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Polar credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/polar-sh/
On first connect you'll paste your Polar credentials. They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
