Inspect donor profiles in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping back and forth between browser tabs when checking on your European FundraisingBox supporters in Claude Desktop. This MCP Server lets you run `search_donors` to locate matching records and pull their full profiles with `get_donor` inside your chat window. You can instantly fetch their giving timeline using `get_donor_history` to prep for donor calls directly from Claude Desktop. Having this context sitting right next to your email drafts speeds up your personalized outreach.

Run FundraisingBox MCP Server queries for campaigns

Monitor active FundraisingBox donation runs by asking Claude Desktop to list your active initiatives. The agent triggers `list_campaigns` to grab active campaign codes and then uses `list_donations_by_project` to isolate incoming funds for specific projects. If you need a high-level view of your European nonprofit's performance, `get_dashboard` delivers the overall metrics straight to Claude Desktop. You get the hard numbers without writing manual SQL queries or exporting CSVs.

Audit donation receipts and forms

Keep your financial compliance tight by pulling tax documents directly into your Claude Desktop conversation. Your agent uses `list_receipts` to verify issued FundraisingBox documents and `list_forms` to check which online donation forms are currently active. When a supporter asks for a duplicate tax receipt, you can quickly verify the original transaction with `get_donation`. It keeps your support pipeline moving without manual database lookups.
