Run Full Campaign Audits

Tell Windsurf's Cascade agent to "audit our active campaigns." It automatically runs `list_campaigns` to get the active ones, then loops through them with `get_campaign` for details and `list_donations_by_project` to pull all contributions. You don't have to prompt each step. Cascade just presents the final, compiled audit. It's the difference between asking for one piece of data at a time and just getting the finished report. You can check recurring revenue streams with `list_recurring_donations` the same way.

Get a Donor's Full History with Windsurf

Need to understand a major donor's history before a call? Just ask Cascade: "Show me everything for donor ID 54321." It knows to chain `get_donor`, `get_donor_history`, and `list_receipts` to build a complete profile. Instead of running three separate queries, you get one unified view of their contact info, past donations, and payment receipts. This is what an autonomous agent is for—it connects the dots so you don't have to.

Pull Live Dashboard Metrics

Get real-time fundraising stats right in your editor. Prompt Windsurf with "What's our current dashboard status?" and it hits the `get_dashboard` tool. No need to log into the FundraisingBox web interface. This gives you the same top-line numbers your finance team sees, like total revenue and donation counts. It's perfect for a quick gut-check on campaign performance without breaking your focus.

Common questions about FundraisingBox MCP in Windsurf

You ask Cascade to find a donor by name or email. It uses the `search_donors` tool to locate them, then can follow up with `get_donor` to pull their full profile. It's a two-step process that Windsurf handles in a single command.

Yes. Just ask Windsurf, "check FundraisingBox status." It runs the `check_fundraisingbox_status` tool and tells you if the connection is live.

Give Windsurf a goal like "list all donations for the 'Summer Gala' campaign." Cascade will use `list_campaigns` to find the project ID, then feed that into `list_donations_by_project` for a filtered list.

Prompt Cascade to "show me all recurring donations." It will run the `list_recurring_donations` tool from this MCP server and return a complete list of all active subscriptions.

Yes. Windsurf only talks to FundraisingBox through the sandboxed MCP server. All requests are ephemeral and authenticated via a single Vinkius token, so your credentials are never exposed. It only touches the donor and donation data you explicitly request with tools like `get_donor` or `list_donations`.
