How to Connect Polar to ChatGPT

How do I connect Polar to ChatGPT?

You need two things: (1) connect Polar to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to ChatGPT using the setup shown above. Once both are done, ChatGPT can query your Polar data directly.

What Polar data can ChatGPT access?

ChatGPT can access any data available through your Polar connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Polar data sent to ChatGPT's servers?

Query results are returned to ChatGPT as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Polar and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Polar and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Polar accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Polar accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. ChatGPT will be able to query all of them.

How do I connect Sequel to ChatGPT?

In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Beta Features → Connectors (or Settings → Integrations, depending on your plan). Enter the Sequel MCP URL and your API key as the Authorization header.

Which ChatGPT plans support MCP?

MCP connector support is available on ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise plans. Check OpenAI's latest documentation for the most current availability.

Can I use Sequel with the ChatGPT API?

Yes — you can pass Sequel as a tool in any OpenAI API request by calling Sequel's MCP endpoint and converting the tool definitions to OpenAI's tool format. Contact us for guidance on this integration.

Is my data stored by OpenAI when I query through ChatGPT?

Query results are sent to OpenAI as context within your conversation and are subject to OpenAI's data handling policies. Review OpenAI's privacy policy for details. Sequel does not store query results.

How do I connect Polar to Sequel?

In Polar, go to Organization Settings → Developers → New Token and create an Organization Access Token with read-only scopes (metrics:read, orders:read, subscriptions:read, customers:read, products:read, payments:read, refunds:read, disputes:read, discounts:read, checkouts:read, events:read, meters:read, customer_meters:read, organizations:read). Paste the token into Sequel's Polar connector and click Test. Leave the environment field blank for production, or enter 'sandbox' to connect a Polar sandbox organization.

Can Sequel change anything in my Polar account?

No. The connector exposes read-only tools only — it cannot create, refund, cancel, or modify any order, subscription, customer, product, or discount. Granting only the :read scopes on your token enforces that at Polar's end too.

Does Sequel recalculate my revenue metrics?

No, and that's the point. Polar computes MRR, ARR, churn, LTV and 50-odd other metrics itself, and Sequel reads those figures directly. You get the same numbers as the Polar dashboard, already net of refunds and proration, rather than an approximation reconstructed from a list of orders.

Can I ask about payouts or my Polar balance?

Not currently. Polar's public API has no payouts or balance endpoints, so those figures aren't reachable by any integration, including Sequel. Revenue questions work fine — just note that revenue is not the same as what lands in your bank account, since it's before Polar's fees and payout timing.
