Connect Donately MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Donately to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Live Donor Lookup via MCP Server
Your application retrieves real-time donor profiles using `get_donor_profile` to render giving history instantly. As your user types an email, the Vercel AI SDK streams the donor's lifetime contributions and contact details directly into the React component without forcing page reloads. This setup avoids the typical lag of waiting for a backend API to resolve before updating the view. Instead, the raw JSON payload from `list_active_donors` feeds straight into the LLM context, which immediately formats the donor's history for the user.
Real-Time Campaign Progress Widgets
The `get_campaign_performance_summary` tool pulls current fundraising numbers directly into your streaming UI components. Your AI client reads the campaign goals and current progress to generate dynamic, live-updating progress summaries on the fly. By coupling this tool with the Vercel AI SDK, you can build interactive dashboards that update as the model reasons. The agent queries `list_fundraising_campaigns` to find active initiatives and updates the user interface step-by-step as the data streams in.
Instant Contribution Feeds
Checking recent transactions happens instantly when your frontend agent invokes `list_latest_contributions`. The Vercel AI SDK handles the streaming output, allowing the agent to render a live ledger of recent support as it receives the raw database records. If a user asks about a specific transaction, the agent uses `get_donation_details` to pull the exact dollar amount and processing status. You don't have to build custom API endpoints for every query type since the SDK maps these tools directly to your UI components.
