How to Use the FundraisingBox MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I get a list of all active FundraisingBox campaigns into a file using Claude Code?

It's a one-liner. Run claude mcp call fundraisingbox-mcp listcampaigns > campaigns.json. This executes the tool and redirects the JSON output directly to a file.

Q: Can I use Claude Code to check my main FundraisingBox dashboard metrics from a server?

Yes. Execute claude mcp call fundraisingbox-mcp getdashboard. It will return the same top-level metrics you see in the web UI, formatted as JSON, which you can then parse in a script.

Q: How can I automate checking for new recurring donations from FundraisingBox with Claude Code?

Create a scheduled script that runs claude mcp call fundraisingbox-mcp listrecurringdonations. You can then diff the output against a previous run to identify new or canceled subscriptions without manual checks.

Q: Is it possible to pull a single donation's details?

Yes, with the getdonation tool. The command would be claude mcp call fundraisingbox-mcp getdonation --params '{"donationid": 12345}'.

Headless Financial Reporting

Set up a cron job to run daily financial reports. A simple shell script using Claude Code can call `list_donations` with a date range and pipe the JSON output to `jq` for processing. You can chain commands to get a full picture. For example, pull recent donations, then use the donor IDs from that output to query `get_donor` for their location, and generate a regional contribution summary. All from a single script.

Use this MCP Server in Your CI/CD Pipelines

Add a health check to your deployment pipeline. Before deploying a new version of your website, have your GitHub Action run `claude mcp call fundraisingbox-mcp check_fundraisingbox_status`. If it fails, the deployment stops. This makes your deployments dependent on the health of your critical fundraising infrastructure. You can also use it to run `list_forms` and verify that a specific donation form is still active post-deployment.

Command-Line Donor Management

Need to quickly look up a donor without a GUI? Just run `claude mcp call fundraisingbox-mcp search_donors --params '{"query": "jane.doe@example.com"}'`. The output is clean JSON, perfect for scripting. You can combine this with other command-line tools. Find a donor with `search_donors`, grab their ID, then pipe it to another command that calls `get_donor_history` to see their full record. It's fast and scriptable.
