Circle MCP: run your Circle community from an AI app

Run your Circle community from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor: manage members, posts, events, courses, workflows and payments with Circle's MCP server instead of the Circle API. ContextGate connects it to your AI app, so a post to the whole community or a member change can be switched off or checked by a policy first, and every call is recorded.

Connect Circle to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

  1. 1Click Connect Circle free and sign in with your Circle account.
  2. 2Posts go out to members and payment changes touch revenue. For AI apps that should only report on the community, switch off the posting, member and payment tools.
  3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
  4. 4Ask your AI app how many members joined your Circle community this month and which events are coming up, then open Activity to see the calls.

Community tasks you can hand off

  • Look up and manage members.
  • Draft and create posts in your discussions.
  • Set up events and keep courses up to date.
  • Check payments and revenue for your digital business.
  • Manage workflows and your Circle website.

Protect members and revenue

  • Switch off the posting, member or payment tools; they're hidden from AI apps and refused if called.
  • A policy can hide member emails before they reach an AI app.
  • Activity keeps a record of every Circle call, including each post an AI app published.

What you get with Circle and ContextGate

  • Your AI apps can use CircleClaude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other AI apps reach Circle through the one ContextGate connection you add to them.
  • You choose which tools they can useSwitch off any Circle tool you don't want used. It's hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.
  • Every call is checked and recordedYour policies check each call (for example, personal data is hidden and secrets are blocked), and Activity keeps a record of it.

ContextGate sees only the tool calls that go through it, not your AI app's built-in tools or your chats.

Circle tools
