Polestar MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Polestar 2 vehicle data to AI assistants like Claude. Query your car's battery status, vehicle info, and health data through natural conversation.

Disclaimer: This project uses an unofficial, reverse-engineered API and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Polestar. Use at your own risk. The API may change or break at any time.

Features

• Battery & Charging Status — Current charge level, charging state, estimated range, time to full charge

• Vehicle Information — Model details, VIN, registration number, software version, performance package

• Vehicle Health — Fluid levels, tire pressure warnings, service alerts

Related MCP server: teslamate-mcp

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+

• A Polestar account with a registered vehicle

• Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible client)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/holger1411/polestar-mcp.git
cd polestar-mcp

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Copy the example environment file and fill in your credentials:

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your Polestar account credentials:

POLESTAR_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
POLESTAR_PASSWORD=your-password
POLESTAR_VIN=              # Optional: specify VIN if you have multiple vehicles
POLESTAR_LOG_LEVEL=INFO    # Optional: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR

Claude Desktop Setup

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polestar-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "polestar_mcp_server"],
      "env": {
        "POLESTAR_USERNAME": "YOUR_EMAIL",
        "POLESTAR_PASSWORD": "YOUR_PASSWORD",
        "POLESTAR_VIN": "",
        "POLESTAR_LOG_LEVEL": "INFO",
        "PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/polestar-mcp/src"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

Architecture

• Async-first — All API calls use httpx.AsyncClient for non-blocking I/O

• OIDC/PKCE Authentication — Secure OAuth flow against Polestar's identity provider

• Smart Caching — TTL-based caching (battery: 3 min, health: 30 min, vehicle info: 24 h)

• Automatic Token Refresh — Handles expired tokens and re-authentication transparently

• Retry Logic — Handles rate limits (429) and transient server errors (5xx)

Dashboard

A standalone HTML dashboard (polestar-dashboard.html) is included as a visual prototype. It is a static mockup and does not connect to the API.
