Stream Givebutter donation data directly into your React UI with Vercel AI SDK. Build interfaces that update as gifts arrive.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Givebutter MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Givebutter to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Real-time donor data visualization
Pipe donation streams straight into your frontend components. Using `list_recent_donations` and `list_donation_transactions`, you can display live gift activity without waiting for page refreshes. Your users see the impact of every gift as it happens. The data flows from the MCP Server into your app state, keeping your dashboard current.
Instant campaign progress tracking
Fetch live campaign metrics to drive dynamic UI elements. By calling `get_campaign_details`, you pull the exact numbers your frontend needs to render progress bars or goal indicators. Everything stays in sync with your source of truth. Your AI client pulls the latest state, ensuring your interface reflects the current fundraising reality.
Automated donor record management
Handle contact updates programmatically using `sync_donor_contact`. You can tie form submissions directly to your CRM, ensuring every supporter is logged correctly. Verification happens in the background. Use `verify_api_connection` to confirm your link to the MCP Server is solid before you push any new contact details.
