Short answer

How can I use my AI to manage Polar.sh subscriptions?

Your AI uses the Polar.sh MCP to check customer status, create or update subscriptions, and revoke access for expired plans. You can manage your entire user lifecycle through natural language commands. You'll see how this works in the breakdown below.

Subscription outcomes

What your AI handles

The specific results of your subscription commands.

ACCESS

Automated user onboarding

The AI creates new subscriptions for your contributors. This ensures they get immediate access to your content or tools.

STATUS

Real-time account checks

Your agent pulls current customer states. You'll know exactly who is active and who has lapsed without checking a dashboard.

MODIFICATION

Plan upgrades and changes

The AI updates existing subscriptions. You can change tiers or billing details through a simple chat command.

HUMAN

Manual oversight required

You remain in control of high-level billing decisions. The AI handles the execution, but you decide when to trigger major changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when a subscription event occurs.

Your AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and your Polar.sh account.

  1. Audit current users

    The AI looks up your existing customers to see who is currently subscribed and what their status is.

    list_subscriptionsget_customer_state

  2. Onboard new contributors

    When a new user joins, the AI sets up their subscription details immediately.

    create_subscription

  3. Adjust existing plans

    If a user wants to change their tier, the AI modifies the subscription settings for you.

    update_subscription

  4. Enforce access rules

    The AI identifies expired or canceled plans and removes user access to your services.
