How to Use the Donately MCP in Cursor

Q: Does Cursor allow me to edit Donately records?

You can use createdonation to add new records to your account. However, most other tools in this set are designed for reading your existing data.

Q: How is my Donately donor contact data handled in Cursor?

The server retrieves specific contact fields via getperson only when you trigger a request. The data is treated as ephemeral context for your current coding task.

Write code that interacts with Donately using your Cursor agent for real-time donor data integration.

Automate donation logging in Cursor

Use `create_donation` to push records into your account straight from your editor. It lets you write scripts that trigger transactions during your development cycle. Your agent handles the API calls so you can focus on the logic. It works best when you need to verify how your application handles incoming payment payloads.

Fetch campaign details inside Cursor

Inject real fundraising metrics into your code by calling `list_campaigns` and `get_campaign`. You stop using hardcoded mock data and start building against live responses. Your code becomes more accurate when it understands the real shape of your campaign objects. The agent pulls the latest data to ensure your logic holds up.

Analyze donor activity via MCP Server

Run `list_donations` to pull transaction history into your local environment. It gives you a way to test your data processing code against actual donor inputs. This MCP Server provides the bridge between your live fundraising account and your editor. You get the records you need to debug complex logic without leaving the screen.
