Set Up the Polaris Claude Connector (Step by Step)

Setting up the Polaris connector takes one authorization step: add polarisugc.com/api/mcp as an MCP connector in Claude, approve access, and you can immediately ask Claude in plain chat to build a UGC ad. No separate app to learn first.

Step-by-step setup

1. Open your Claude connector settings. Add a new MCP connector and paste in the Polaris endpoint, polarisugc.com/api/mcp.
2. Authorize the connection. Claude will ask you to confirm access to Polaris once. This is a one-time step, not a per-conversation one.
3. Start a normal chat. No special commands or syntax are needed. Just tell Claude what you want, for example "make me a UGC ad for this product" and attach a photo, or paste an existing script.
4. Answer the option cards. Claude will surface tappable cards for choices like which video model, aspect ratio, or voice to use. You pick by tapping, not by typing exact parameter names.
5. Watch the live panel. A Polaris panel appears directly in the conversation and renders progress in real time, then shows the finished ad. Renders typically land somewhere between 20 and 180 seconds depending on the model and length.
6. Download or iterate. Pull the finished file, or ask Claude to run a batch of variations in parallel and download them together as a ZIP.

Pro tips

• If you're testing hooks or openings, ask for a small batch of variations rather than one-off generations. Parallel batches let you compare options side by side instead of guessing which angle will land.
• Use the Recreate option on any ad you like as a fast way to try the same structure with a different product or script, instead of writing a fresh brief from scratch.
• If a render fails outright, it is auto-refunded, so you don't need to track credits manually after a failed attempt.
• Run your script through Copy Judge before generating video if you want a second pass on the wording before committing render time to it.

Honest caveats

Polaris builds ads around your own product photo or script, it does not include a library of stock avatars to pick from. The AI actor delivers whatever script you give it, it does not clone named real people. And no matter how polished a render looks, creative still needs testing against your actual audience before you scale spend behind it. If you operate in a regulated niche, keep an eye on claims in your script, since Polaris avoids disease/cure or guaranteed-result language by design, but the final review is on you.

Where to go next

Once the connector is set up, the fastest way to see the workflow end to end is to read how generating ads inside Claude via MCP actually works, or jump straight into the app if you want the secondary web surface instead of chat. Check pricing for plan details, and see AI UGC ads for a broader look at what Polaris generates.
