How do I create a Polar Personal Access Token?

Log in to the [**Polar Dashboard**](https://polar.sh), go to **Settings > Developer > Personal Access Tokens**, click **Create Token**, give it a name and copy the token immediately — it starts with `polar_pat_` and won't be shown again.

Can I check my subscription revenue?

Yes! Use `list_subscriptions` with status 'active' to see all active subscriptions, and `list_orders` to see completed orders with their amounts. Combine both to get a full picture of your recurring and one-time revenue.

Can I create checkout links programmatically?

Yes! Use `create_checkout` with a product_id and optionally a customer_id and discount_id. This creates a checkout session that returns a URL you can share with customers or embed in your app.

Polar + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Polar MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
