How to Use the Donately MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I debug donor lookup queries within Cursor?

Ask your agent to run searchdonationsbyemail directly in the chat panel. You can inspect the returned JSON payload to verify your query parameters. This eliminates the need to run separate curl commands.

Build custom donation workflows in Cursor using live transaction data instead of static mock files.

Perplexity

Write payment code with real Cursor context

Stop writing integration code against fake API payloads. Your agent calls `get_donation_details` to feed real payment structures directly into your active file. This keeps your TypeScript interfaces perfectly aligned with actual API payloads. When building custom dashboards, let Cursor run `list_all_donations` to populate your local UI. You see exactly how live data fits your components. No more running postman in another window.

Test donor routing rules using this MCP Server

Debugging your donor segmentation logic gets much simpler with this MCP Server active. The editor pulls real profiles using `get_donor_profile` to test your sorting functions. You catch edge cases in your code before committing. If you need to test high-value logic, have your agent run `list_highest_lifetime_donors`. It feeds actual top-tier donor structures into your local test suite. Your unit tests run against realistic production shapes.

Build campaign tracking tools in Cursor

Create custom internal metrics views without leaving your editor. Your agent pulls real campaign progress using `get_campaign_performance_summary` to help you layout your CSS. You see exactly how long titles and large numbers fit your design. If you are building dropdown selectors, let Cursor call `list_fundraising_campaigns` to populate your mock state. You write the component once, knowing it handles the exact payload your production API returns.

Setup guide

Set up Donately MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Donately MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Donately transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Donately tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "donately-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
