MCP support
It exposes Patreon profile, campaign, member, and post data as tools for MCP clients. Access requires a Creator Access Token; the server makes no write operations.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx patreon-mcp-serverPATREON_ACCESS_TOKENSecretYour Patreon Creator Access TokenLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From the project READMEPatreon MCP Server
mcp-name: io.github.KyuRish/patreon-mcp-server
Give AI assistants access to your Patreon creator data. The first authenticated Patreon MCP server - works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client.
Quick Start
1. Get your Creator Access Token
Go to Patreon Developer Portal and copy your Creator Access Token. This token gives access to your own campaign data only.
2. Configure your MCP client
Claude Desktop - add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"patreon": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/patreon-mcp-server", "src/patreon_mcp_server/server.py"],
"env": {
"PATREON_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code - add to .mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"patreon": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/patreon-mcp-server", "src/patreon_mcp_server/server.py"],
"env": {
"PATREON_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
}
}
}
}
3. Start using it
Ask your AI assistant things like:
- "Show me my Patreon campaigns"
- "Who are my top patrons by lifetime support?"
- "How many patrons are on each tier?"
- "Which patrons have declining payments?"
- "List my recent posts"

Privacy & Data
This server is designed with patron privacy in mind:
- No patron emails - email addresses are never requested from the API
- No private notes - creator notes about patrons are excluded
- Read-only - no write operations, the server only reads your data
- No data storage - the MCP server itself does not cache or persist any data
Important: When using this server with an AI assistant, patron data (names, pledge amounts, charge status) is sent to your AI provider (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) and may be temporarily retained per their data processing policies. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with Patreon's Creator Privacy Promise and applicable data protection laws.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
