Autonomous campaign monitoring crews

Assign a dedicated agent to watch your campaigns via `list_fundraising_campaigns`. If a goal is hit or a deadline approaches, the crew takes action. You gain a 24/7 operator. The agent uses `get_campaign_details` to stay updated, allowing your team to focus on strategy rather than manual check-ins.

Multi-agent transaction reconciliation

Run a crew that compares your ledger against Givebutter records. One agent pulls data with `list_donation_transactions`, while another verifies it against your internal database. Errors get flagged immediately. By automating this, you catch discrepancies before they become financial headaches during end-of-month reporting.

Automated support for new donors

Use a specialized agent to welcome new supporters. The agent triggers off `list_recent_donations` to identify new entries and updates profiles via `sync_donor_contact`. Communication stays personal and timely. Your crew handles the heavy lifting of data entry, leaving your human staff to handle high-touch donor relationships.

Setup guide

Set up Givebutter MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Givebutter tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Givebutter Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Givebutter data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Givebutter access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Givebutter transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Givebutter Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Givebutter data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Givebutter access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Givebutter transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Common questions about Givebutter MCP in CrewAI

Pass the Vinkius URL directly into your agent definition. Once the MCP Server is linked, your crew gains the ability to query and modify donor records.

They can. CrewAI provides shared memory for your agents, so when one agent lists donors with `list_donor_contacts`, the others have access to that information.

Your connection is protected by Vinkius. You only need to manage the endpoint token, and the MCP Server handles the rest of the security layer.

It does. You can assign the server to the manager agent or specific workers, giving you total control over which parts of your crew can access donor data.

Your donor contacts and transaction amounts are processed in-memory during the agent's turn. We use ephemeral transport, meaning no Givebutter data is stored on disk by the server.
