Collaborate on Donorbox metrics in VS Code Copilot

Keep your entire engineering team aligned by checking fundraising data right in your shared workspace. By committing an MCP Server configuration to your repository, every developer using VS Code Copilot can query `list_fundraising_campaigns` instantly. When debugging payment issues, team members can ask VS Code Copilot to run `list_latest_contributions` to see what is happening in real time. It eliminates the need for everyone to have separate browser logins just to check Donorbox transaction statuses.

Audit campaign health inside your shared workspace

Don't guess how your donation pages are performing during a major drive. This MCP Server lets VS Code Copilot use `quick_campaign_performance_audit` to pull instant health metrics directly into your team chat. The agent can analyze Donorbox campaign data using `get_campaign_details` to check that tracking pixels and target amounts are correctly configured. This keeps your VS Code Copilot development team ahead of any tracking errors before they cost you donations.

Manage recurring donor plans via team chat

When building custom donor portals, your team needs to know how subscription plans are structured. VS Code Copilot calls `list_recurring_donation_plans` to fetch live Donorbox data shapes for your developers. Developers can use the VS Code Copilot chat to run `list_active_subscription_plans` to test how their code handles active or paused memberships. It makes building custom Donorbox experiences a collaborative, error-free process.
