Full donor management in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and your chat. You can use `list_donors` or `create_new_donor` to keep your records current without leaving your workspace. Updating contact details is just as fast. Simply trigger `update_donor_info` and the changes hit your database instantly.

Track campaign performance

Get the numbers you need by calling `list_fundraising_campaigns`. It gives you the live pulse of your active efforts in seconds. Dig deeper into the results with `list_donations`. You can filter by amount or campaign to see exactly where the money is coming from.

Handle recurring plans

Control your subscription flow without a dashboard. Use `list_recurring_plans` to see what is active, then use `pause_recurring_plan` or `cancel_recurring_plan` when a donor requests a change. You can even restart a plan with `resume_recurring_plan` if they decide to come back. It keeps your operations moving at the speed of your conversation.
