How to Use the FundraisingBox MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the FundraisingBox MCP configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Save the MCP server configuration in a .vscode/mcp.json file at the root of your repository and commit it to Git. Every team member with VS Code Copilot will instantly get access to the MCP tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot write unit tests using actual FundraisingBox donor data?

Yes, the agent can call getdonorhistory to pull realistic donor records into your workspace. It then uses those actual structures to generate robust unit tests for your integration.

Q: How do I verify my API credentials using VS Code Copilot?

You can ask the chat panel to run checkfundraisingboxstatus to test the connection. The tool returns a quick status check to confirm your environment variables are configured correctly.

Q: Can I filter donations by specific campaigns in the editor?

Yes, you can ask the agent to call listdonationsbyproject with a specific campaign ID. This returns only the transactions tied to that project, making it easy to debug project-specific features.

Validate donor schemas in VS Code Copilot

Keep your team aligned when writing integrations for European fundraising platforms. Your VS Code Copilot agent runs `get_donor` to pull real FundraisingBox profiles, helping you verify that your database schemas match the API output. By calling `list_donors` in VS Code Copilot, the assistant can inspect multiple FundraisingBox records to spot edge cases like missing middle names or international phone numbers. This prevents runtime errors before you commit your code.

Build financial pipelines with this MCP Server

Automate your internal tax reporting by letting your editor inspect issued documents. The VS Code Copilot agent calls `list_receipts` to analyze how FundraisingBox tax forms are structured and generated for your donors. You can also call `list_forms` to verify which online donation forms are generating active receipts. This makes it simple to map transaction sources to your internal accounting ledgers.

Monitor active donation campaigns

Track how your fundraising pages are performing without leaving your workspace. The VS Code Copilot agent uses `get_dashboard` to pull live FundraisingBox metrics directly into your terminal or chat window. If you need to drill down into specific initiatives, calling `list_campaigns` reveals the exact tracking IDs needed for your frontend components. It keeps your code tied directly to active marketing goals.
