How to Use the Donorbox MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I restrict which Donorbox MCP Server tools a CrewAI agent can access?

Use the MCPServerHTTP class from crewai.mcp and apply a toolfilter. This lets you restrict access, ensuring a junior agent can only run listfundraisingcampaigns while blocking access to donor emails.

Deploy a team of CrewAI agents to manage campaigns and audit Donorbox donations autonomously.

Coordinate multi-agent Donorbox audits with this MCP Server

Run a complete fundraising audit without lifting a finger. One CrewAI agent can use `quick_campaign_performance_audit` to analyze overall trends, while a financial analyst agent cross-references active plans using `list_recurring_donation_plans`. They share memory and collaborate on a final report. This gives you a clear picture of donor health without requiring anyone on your team to manually export spreadsheets.

Automate personalized donor outreach

Let your agents handle supporter relations. A researcher agent can query `list_registered_donors` to segment your highest-value supporters, while a writer agent drafts personalized thank-you notes. The agents use `list_latest_contributions` to verify who just gave, ensuring your outreach is incredibly timely and relevant. It keeps your donor database warm and engaged.

Monitor campaign performance autonomously

Keep your fundraising goals on track 24/7. Your monitoring agent checks campaign progress using `get_campaign_details` and flags any initiatives that are falling behind. It then hands off the data to an execution agent, which pulls active campaigns via `list_fundraising_campaigns` to reallocate promotional efforts where they are needed most.

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)

Common questions about Donorbox MCP in CrewAI

You can pass the Vinkius MCP Server URL directly into your agent's `mcps` configuration array. This grants that specific agent access to tools like `search_donors_by_email` while keeping other agents focused on different tasks.

Yes. CrewAI uses shared memory, meaning an auditing agent can pull the metrics using `quick_campaign_performance_audit` and pass those results directly to a writer agent to generate a summary.

Use the `MCPServerHTTP` class from `crewai.mcp` and apply a `tool_filter`. This lets you restrict access, ensuring a junior agent can only run `list_fundraising_campaigns` while blocking access to donor emails.

CrewAI handles tool failures gracefully by allowing agents to retry the call or log the error. If `list_active_subscription_plans` fails, the agent will retry or escalate the issue to your manager agent.

Your donor profiles, active subscription statuses, and email addresses are shielded by Vinkius's zero-trust gateway. Every API call made by your agents is proxied through an ephemeral sandbox, meaning no private donor data is ever cached or used for model training.
