What you can do with this MCP connector

You'll also find out who your biggest contributors are by listing donors with the highest total lifetime contributions.

To profile a specific donor, your agent pulls up their full profile, including contact info and every gift they've ever made. You can search for donations using a donor's specific email address. You can check all the fundraising campaigns set up in Donately by listing them, and you'll see a high-level summary of any campaign's performance.
You can check the status of all your fundraising campaigns by listing them, and you'll see a high-level summary of any campaign's performance.

How Donately MCP Works
- 1 Connect the Donately integration to your AI client. You'll need your Donately API Key from your account settings.
- 2 Authorize the connection through your AI client's settings.
- 3 Tell your agent what you need—for example, 'What's the progress on the Summer Relief campaign?'
The bottom line is, your AI agent executes complex fundraising queries and reports the results to you via conversation.
Who Is Donately MCP For?
Non-profit managers, development officers, and operations staff need this. It eliminates the need to jump between the Donately dashboard, donor spreadsheets, and finance reports. Your agent handles the data stitching, letting you focus on outreach, not on data aggregation.
Research a donor's full giving history and lifetime totals during an outreach call.
Check campaign progress and recent donation volumes instantly without logging into a separate dashboard.
Monitor donation volumes and fundraising metadata across the organization to ensure smooth reporting.
What Changes When You Connect
- See every donation's details with
get_donation_details. You get the payment status and contribution info for a specific record, which is better than just seeing a list count. - Instantly know who your most valuable supporters are. Use
list_highest_lifetime_donorsto pull a list of donors by their total contribution, bypassing manual spreadsheet sorting. - Gauge campaign success with
get_campaign_performance_summary. You don't just see a total; you see the progress against the set goal. - Manage your donor base using
get_donor_profile. You pull a donor's entire history—contact info, giving total, everything—in one command. - Stay current with
list_latest_contributions. You get a list of the most recent donations, perfect for immediate follow-up and thank-you messages. - Find specific data points fast. Use
search_donations_by_emailto pull records when you only know the donor's email, skipping a full list search.
Real-World Use Cases
Need to assess campaign health before the board meeting
The manager needs a quick snapshot of the 'Annual Gala' campaign. They ask their agent to run get_campaign_performance_summary and list_fundraising_campaigns. The agent returns the goal, the amount raised, and the percentage complete, so the manager can report accurate numbers immediately.
Researching a donor during a cold call
The development officer gets a potential donor's email. They use search_donations_by_email to check if the person has donated before. If so, they run get_donor_profile to find the lifetime total and last donation date, letting them tailor their pitch.
Audit donation records after a major event
The operations team needs to check every donation from last month. They run list_all_donations to get the full list, then use get_donation_details on key records to confirm payment status and associated campaign data.
Identifying who to thank first
The development officer wants to thank their top 5 supporters. They ask the agent to use list_highest_lifetime_donors. The agent provides the names and totals, allowing the officer to prioritize their thank-you notes.
The Tradeoffs
Searching by general keywords
A user tries to find a donation by searching for 'Smith' in the donor list. This only returns names and requires manual filtering to find the correct record or date.
→
Instead, use search_donations_by_email if you have the email, or run list_all_donations and then use get_donation_details on the ID to narrow down the specific transaction.
Over-relying on a single list
A user runs list_active_donors and assumes the list is complete. This misses historical donors who haven't given in a while but still matter for retention efforts.
→
To get a full picture of the donor universe, use get_donor_profile on known contacts, and then run list_all_donations to capture all financial transactions, regardless of the donor's current 'active' status.
Ignoring campaign goals
Reporting the total amount raised without context. You report $10,000, but don't mention the $20,000 goal, so stakeholders think the campaign is fine.
→
Always start by running get_campaign_performance_summary. This gives you the progress percentage and the total goal, providing necessary context for any figure you report.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if you need to build a complete, conversational view of fundraising data. Specifically, use it when your workflow requires correlating a donor's personal history (get_donor_profile) with a specific campaign's goals (get_campaign_performance_summary). Don't use this if you only need to check the technical limits of the API—use get_donately_account_metadata. If your goal is simply to see a list of names, run list_active_donors. This server is for analysis and correlation, not just listing.

This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Tracking donor giving shouldn't take jumping between three different tabs.
Right now, if you want to know a donor's full history, you open the CRM. You find their profile. Then you have to cross-reference that profile against the separate 'Donations' tab to see if they gave to a specific campaign. If you want to check the campaign goal, you open a third dashboard. It's three systems, three logins, and a lot of copy-pasting.
With the Donately MCP Server, you just ask your agent: 'What's the full history for John Doe regarding the Summer Relief campaign?' Your agent runs `get_donor_profile` and correlates it with campaign data, giving you one answer in the chat. It’s all linked.
List all donations with Donately MCP Server
Before, getting a complete list of donations meant running a complex report in the backend. You'd get a massive CSV file that was hard to read and often missed the critical payment status details. You'd have to manually check each row for accuracy.
Now, you simply ask your agent to run `list_all_donations`. It gives you the data structured and contextualized for conversation. You get the full picture, instantly.
Common Questions About Donately MCP
