Team-wide Donorbox tools for VS Code

Commit your `.vscode/mcp.json` to the repo so every dev has the same access. Everyone uses the same `list_donors` tool to debug the same CRM issues. Get your team aligned on data structures. Using real responses from `get_account_profile` ensures your code matches the actual organization setup.

Standardized donation workflows

Ensure consistency by using `list_fundraising_campaigns` as the source of truth for your UI. Every dev pulls the same active campaign list. Manage your webhooks centrally. Use `list_configured_webhooks` to verify that your team has configured the necessary endpoints for your production environment.

Manage recurring giving at scale

Control your subscription logic across the team. Use `list_recurring_plans` to see how plans are structured before writing your frontend code. Handle changes reliably. Use `resume_recurring_plan` or `cancel_recurring_plan` to test how your app responds to state changes in your donor database.

Setup guide

Set up Donorbox MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Donorbox MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Donorbox tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Donorbox transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

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