Concrete capability record
Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits
A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.
02 · Data you can retrieve
Retrieve authorized creator, campaign, member, tier, and relationship data with explicitly requested fields and includes.
03 · Actions and write paths
Create and manage webhook subscriptions and use the early-access Live APIs to create, update, start, end, or delete livestreams and manage Live access rules; this is not a broad creator-admin write surface.
04 · Authentication and permissions
Patreon OAuth 2.0 scopes and creator authorization apply; requested fields and relationships must be explicit.
05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery
Request only needed fields and includes, treat identity fields as nullable when members mask identity, protect charge and entitlement state, verify webhooks, and approval-gate Live creation and audience access changes.
06 · Limits and caveats
Only third-party/community MCP was verified. API v1 is deprecated, Live APIs are early access and may change, and the public API remains narrower than the native product.

Evidence and dates
First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated
“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
