# Givebutter MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Givebutter MCP lets you manage fundraising campaigns and donor data through your AI client. You can track donations, sync contacts, and log offline payments without switching tabs. It connects your Givebutter account directly to your workspace so you can get answers on revenue and campaign progress instantly. ## Overview - **Category:** customer-relationship-management - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_DqrAZaFK0ZCrnMBWWH9vqkO8MOJ99vy8yhBUkhDU/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** donations, fundraising, donor-management, campaigns, nonprofit ## Description Givebutter MCP lets you pull your fundraising data into your AI agent so you can stop jumping between tabs. If you run a nonprofit, you know the drill. You're usually clicking through a dashboard to find a single transaction, then copy-pasting that info into a spreadsheet or an email. It's a waste of time. This Connector changes that by letting you just ask your agent for what you need. You can check if a large donation cleared, pull a list of your recent success stories, or see how close a campaign is to its goal. It even handles the tedious stuff like adding new donor contacts to your database or logging those manual, offline payments that don't show up automatically. Because Vinkius hosts this, you can plug it into your daily workflow and keep your records straight without the manual data entry. It keeps your financial data accessible in your primary workspace so you can focus on your mission instead of your paperwork. ## Tools ### sync_donor_contact Add a new donor to your database.

The agent uses `get_transaction_details` to provide the status. ### The "Quick Recap" A director needs to know the total raised for the Gala. The agent uses `list_fundraising_campaigns` to give a live total. ### The "New Donor" sync A volunteer meets a donor and wants them in the system. The agent uses `sync_donor_contact` to add them instantly. ### The "Offline Log" A donor gives a check in person. The admin uses `record_offline_donation` to keep the record in one place. ## Benefits - Get instant answers on donation status by using `list_recent_donations` to see what just came in. - Keep your donor list accurate by using `sync_donor_contact` to add people as they give. - Track campaign goals in real-time with `get_campaign_details` to see how close you are to your target. - Capture every dollar by using `record_offline_donation` for those manual checks or cash gifts. - Monitor steady income by using `list_recurring_plans` to see who's committed for the long haul. - Stay informed on system health by using `list_donation_webhooks` to check your real-time notification flow. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a direct line to your fundraising data without the manual overhead of a dashboard. 1.
