01 · Install Polarmcp
before you install - you'll need
Set POLAR_CLIENT_ID, POLAR_CLIENT_SECRET, POLAR_REDIRECT_URI, POLAR_SCOPES, POLAR_TOKEN_PATH, POLAR_CACHE_PATH before connecting. POLAR_PRIVACY_MODE, POLAR_CACHE are optional or environment-specific per the README.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
npm package polar-mcp-unofficial - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing
registry namespace io.github.davidmosiah is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

The 9 tools it gives your agent
Extracted from the project's README - what polarmcp lets an agent do.
- polar_quickstart
- - personalized 3-step setup walkthrough that adapts to what's already configured
- polar_connection_status
- - verify local setup, scopes and readiness before calling Polar
- polar_data_inventory
- - inventory supported data domains, scopes, privacy modes and recommended first calls without calling Polar APIs.
- polar_demo
- - synthetic example payloads so agents see the contract before calling the real API
- polar_daily_summary
- - sleep, activity, Nightly Recharge and training brief for today
- polar_weekly_summary
- - scorecard, comparison vs prior week, next-week plan
- polar_wellness_context
- - Nightly Recharge, sleep and training load in the shared wellness_context shape
- polar_heart_series
- - agent-safe-series/v1 bounded HR from continuous samples (prefer this for agents)
- polar_get_route
- - GPS coordinates redacted unless raw mode
