Circle MCP: run your community from a chat
What Circle's MCP server lets an AI read and do (members, spaces, posts, comments, events, courses, engagement), the asks that keep a community alive, and how to connect Circle to Eden and put the weekly pulse on a routine.
Circle publishes an MCP server, so an AI assistant can read your members, spaces, posts, comments, events, and courses, and post into the community when you ask. Running a community is mostly noticing: who went quiet, which thread needs an answer, what people keep asking. Those are exactly the questions an AI with the data in front of it answers in one message. Here is what the server reaches, what to ask, and how to connect Circle to Eden.
Full disclosure: we make Eden. The first two sections apply to any MCP client.
What an AI can reach in Circle
- Members. Who is in, when they joined, and how active they are.
- Spaces, posts, and comments. What is being discussed, where, and by whom.
- Events and courses. What is scheduled and who is progressing.
- Creating posts. Publishing into a space, ready for members to see.
The asks that keep a community alive
"Summarize the top threads this week and the questions nobody answered." The weekly pulse, without scrolling every space.
"Which members joined in the last 30 days and have not posted or commented?" New members who never engage are the ones who leave. This finds them while there is still time.
"Post this week's lesson recap to the Announcements space." With Circle connected inside a workspace that also holds your writing, the recap is drafted in your voice first.
"Who were the five most active members this month?" The people to thank, feature, or ask for a testimonial.
Connecting Circle to Eden
- Open Settings → Connectors and click Sign in on Circle. Approve the access in the window that opens.
- Eden lists the tools it found. They are live in every chat in the workspace right away.
- Ask for something you know, like the number of spaces, to confirm the right community is connected.
Circle's server includes tools that post. If you want a read-only connection for now, switch those off under Settings → Connectors and turn them on when you trust the setup. Details in the connectors help article.
Put the community pulse on a routine
Eden's routines run a prompt on a schedule and email you the result:
- Friday pulse. "Every Friday at 4pm, summarize the most active Circle threads this week, list questions with no reply, and name three members worth a personal note."
- Quiet member check. "Every Monday, list members who joined in the last 60 days and have not posted or commented in 14 days. Draft a short, personal check-in for each in my voice."
- Event follow-up. "The morning after each event, summarize the discussion in its space and draft a recap post for my review."
Each run lands in a fresh chat with the result waiting.
Circle with the rest of the stack
Circle tells you who is engaged. Whop or Kajabi tells you who is paying. Kit or beehiiv tells you who is reading. Connected together, one ask covers the whole relationship: "which paying members have gone quiet in the community and stopped opening the newsletter?" The full guide walks through connecting the whole creator stack.
