Specialized Donorbox agent roles

Assign a 'Data Analyst' agent to run `list_donors` and a 'Communications' agent to draft updates. Your crew works together to manage your nonprofit's growth. This lets you offload repetitive donor management tasks to specialized agents. They handle the data while you focus on your mission.

Sequential Donorbox task execution

Set up a chain where an agent fetches campaign data via `list_fundraising_campaigns` and another agent summarizes the results for your board. This approach removes manual reporting bottlenecks. Your agents execute the tasks in order and report back when the job is done.

Monitor Donorbox with autonomous agents

Use a monitor agent to periodically run `check_api_health` and alert you if connectivity issues arise. You get notified only when action is required. This keeps your infrastructure running without you checking the dashboard constantly. It frees up your time for higher-level strategic planning.

Setup guide

Set up Donorbox MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Donorbox tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Donorbox Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Donorbox data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Donorbox access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Donorbox transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Donorbox Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Donorbox data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Donorbox access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Donorbox transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
