Generate Custom Fundraising Views in Cline

With `list_donations` and `get_donation`, Cline builds custom UI components backed by actual transaction records. This MCP Server lets your agent write files, run test suites, and display live diffs of your new fundraising dashboard. It matches the frontend code against actual fields returned by `get_donation` to ensure zero runtime errors.

Manage Donor Profiles and Subscriptions

By calling `list_people` and `get_person`, Cline lets you inspect and manage donor profiles directly inside your workspace. When building subscription recovery tools, Cline uses `list_subscriptions` to check which recurring donations are currently active. It verifies the fields against `get_subscription` to write precise integration tests.

Automate Peer-to-Peer Progress Reports

The `list_campaigns` and `list_fundraisers` tools let Cline generate detailed markdown reports of your active campaigns. It writes the generated fundraising report directly to a file in your workspace. It uses `get_fundraiser` to fill in specific details, giving you an accurate, commit-ready document based on live API data.
