“What does [email protected] have access to right now?”
The AI finds the customer and reads her current state: active subscriptions, granted benefits and meters.

It finds the product and the discount and creates a checkout session prefilled with her email. You get a payment link to share.

Questions

What can the AI do in Polar?

The AI can read your organizations, products, checkouts, checkout links, discounts, customers and their state, orders, invoices, payments, refunds, disputes, subscriptions, benefits and license keys. It can create checkout sessions, update products and customers, generate order invoices and refund orders.

Does the AI see my Polar access token?

No. Your Polar access token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. A refund sends money back to the customer and cannot be undone. Refunds and product changes can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You connect your own Polar organization, so anything Polar charges is between you and Polar.

Which scopes should the Polar token have?

Only the ones the AI needs. You pick the scopes and an expiry when you create the Organization Access Token. Polar then refuses anything outside those scopes, on top of the tools you switch on in PipMCP.
