Patreon MCP Server: Connect Patreon to Claude
Yes. Add the Carly connector to Claude, connect Patreon, and you can set up triggers right from the chat: when someone joins, do that. “When someone becomes a patron, email them a personal welcome with this month’s bonus post.” You type it once in Claude. Carly does it for every new patron, whether Claude is open or not.
Where Claude and Patreon fall short today
- No official connector. Patreon isn’t in Claude’s directory and doesn’t run its own MCP server.
- Community servers are small and local. The best-known one runs on your computer with an access token and hasn’t been updated since March.
- Older tools stopped working. Patreon’s v1 API stopped responding on October 7 unless the creator asked for an extension, so tools built on it broke.
- The API can’t post for you. Patreon’s API reads your posts but has no way to publish one.
- It only works while you chat. A new patron or a cancelled pledge waits until someone opens Claude and asks.
How Carly fixes it
- Set up once. Add the Carly connector, paste your Patreon access token into Carly, done. Nothing to run on your computer.
- Triggers on patrons and posts. When someone joins, changes their pledge or cancels, or a post goes live, Carly acts.
- It reaches your people. Carly emails patrons from your own inbox, posts in Discord and updates your sheet.
- Thousands of apps. Carly connects Patreon to thousands of apps, including Discord, Kit, Gmail and Google Sheets.
How to connect Patreon to Claude
- Add Carly to Claude. Click Get the Carly connector, then Connect, and sign in.
- Connect Patreon in Carly. In Patreon’s developer portal, open Clients & API Keys, create a client and copy the Creator’s Access Token. In Carly, go to Integrations → Connect an API and connect Patreon there.
- Tell Claude what should happen, and when. Carly sets up the workflow and runs it from then on.
Triggers you can set up from Claude
Type these into Claude. Each one becomes a trigger that runs in the cloud, whether or not you’re in the chat:
- “When someone becomes a patron, email them a personal welcome with this month’s bonus post.”
- “When a patron cancels, email them a thank-you and ask what would bring them back.”
- “When someone upgrades to my top tier, text me so I can send a personal note.”
- “When I publish a post, share the link in our Discord.”
- “On the 1st of every month, email me last month’s new, upgraded and cancelled patrons.”
Steps that don’t need AI run as free Zapier-style workflows.
Ask Claude about your patrons
- “How many patrons joined this month, by tier?”
- “Which patrons have been with me the longest?”
- “Draft this month’s update for my top tier based on last month’s posts.”

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
