How to Connect Polar to OpenClaw

How do I connect Polar to OpenClaw?

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

What Polar data can OpenClaw access?

OpenClaw 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 OpenClaw's servers?

Query results are returned to OpenClaw 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. OpenClaw will be able to query all of them.

How do I add Sequel to OpenClaw?

Add the snippet above to your OpenClaw config (`~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`) under `mcp.servers`, or run `openclaw mcp set sequel '{"url":"https://api.sequel.sh/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer sql_your_api_key"}}'`, then reload the gateway. The Sequel CLI can do it for you with `sequel install openclaw`.

Which data sources can OpenClaw query through Sequel?

Any source you've connected in Sequel: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Google Analytics, Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot, Stripe, and more. OpenClaw can only reach the connections your organization has set up.

Does Sequel use a remote (HTTP) MCP server?

Yes. Sequel is a hosted MCP server at https://api.sequel.sh/mcp. In OpenClaw that's a remote server — use `transport: streamable-http` and pass your key in the `Authorization` header, rather than a local stdio command.

Can I limit which agents or tools use Sequel?

Yes. OpenClaw controls which agents see MCP tools through tool profiles, and you can narrow Sequel to specific tools with per-server tool filters (`toolFilter` include/exclude) — so a dedicated marketing analyst agent gets exactly the access it needs and nothing more.

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.
