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 + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Polar MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
