How to Connect Polar to Windsurf

How do I connect Polar to Windsurf?

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

What Polar data can Windsurf access?

Windsurf 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 Windsurf's servers?

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

Where does the Windsurf MCP config file go?

Place your MCP configuration at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Use the `serverUrl` key (not `url`) as shown in the config above — Windsurf uses a slightly different field name than other clients.

Does this work with both Cascade and Windsurf Chat?

Yes. Sequel tools are available in both Windsurf Chat (single-turn) and Cascade (multi-step agentic flows). Cascade is especially powerful because it can chain multiple Sequel tool calls together.

How do I verify Sequel is connected in Windsurf?

Open Windsurf settings and navigate to the MCP section. You should see 'sequel' listed as a connected server with a green status indicator. If it's red, check that your API key is correct and the URL is reachable.

Can my whole team use this setup?

Each team member should have their own Sequel API key (create them in Settings → API Keys). The MCP config file is personal (in the home directory), so each developer configures it independently.

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.
