Polarsteps MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude and other AI assistants to access Polarsteps travel data. Query user profiles, trip details, travel statistics, and search through travel histories with natural language.

Features

• User Profiles: Get profile info, social stats, and travel metrics
• Trip Data: Access detailed trip information, timelines, and locations
• Smart Search: Find trips by destination, theme, or keywords with fuzzy matching
• Travel Analytics: Retrieve comprehensive travel statistics and achievements

Quick Start

Until I add it to PyPI, the quickest way to get started is using Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @remuzel/polarsteps-mcp --client claude

Then configure your Polarsteps token.

Configuration

You'll need your Polarsteps `remember_token` to authenticate API requests.

Getting Your Token

1. Go to https://www.polarsteps.com/ and make sure you're logged in

2. Open your browser's Dev Tools:

3. Find the `remember_token` cookie for https://www.polarsteps.com

4. Copy the token value

Setting the Token

Set your token as an environment variable:

export POLARSTEPS_REMEMBER_TOKEN="your_remember_token_here"

Usage

With Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polarsteps": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/remuzel/polarsteps-mcp", "polarsteps-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POLARSTEPS_REMEMBER_TOKEN": "your_remember_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Queries

Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:

• "Show me travel stats for username 'johndoe'"
• "Tell me about johndoe's trip to Japan"
• "What country should johndoe add to their bucketlist?"
