Run multi-step donor analyses in Windsurf

This MCP Server exposes `list_highest_lifetime_donors` to help Cascade map out your top fundraising supporters. It starts by pulling your donor list, filters for active givers, and builds the profile on its own. When you ask it to find your top supporters, Cascade triggers `list_highest_lifetime_donors` and then automatically runs `get_donor_profile` on the top accounts. You get a clean, finished summary instead of having to prompt the next step.

Track real-time campaign performance

By calling `list_fundraising_campaigns`, your agent tracks real-time campaign performance straight from your editor. Cascade pulls live metrics from your dashboard to check how your current push is doing. The agent calls `list_fundraising_campaigns` to see what is currently running. It then immediately triggers `get_campaign_performance_summary` to compare active numbers against your targets without you typing a second prompt.

Audit recent contributions instantly

Using `list_latest_contributions`, your agent catches payment anomalies or sudden spikes as they happen. It monitors incoming funds and flags VIP donors who just gave. It uses `list_latest_contributions` to pull the newest transactions. If it spots a large amount, it calls `get_donation_details` to verify the source so you can send a quick thank-you note.

Common questions about Donately MCP in Windsurf

Yes. This Donately MCP Server allows Cascade to search your records by running `search_donations_by_email` or listing active profiles. It handles the entire search sequence and presents the donor profile directly in your chat.

The Vinkius infrastructure manages the connection to prevent rate limit issues. Your IDE handles the tool outputs natively, letting Cascade pace its API calls when pulling donor records.

No, you control the execution mode. Cascade can run tools like `list_all_donations` autonomously in a chain, or you can require a click for every action depending on your security settings.

Yes. Because Windsurf has both terminal access and MCP tool access, Cascade can call `get_campaign_performance_summary` and write the output directly to a local Markdown or CSV file.

Vinkius runs this connection in a zero-trust, sandboxed V8 Isolate. Your donor profiles, donation amounts, and campaign metrics are never stored on Vinkius servers or used to train models.
