Perplexity

Write code with real Givebutter transaction data

The `list_donation_transactions` tool feeds actual financial data directly to your Cursor agent. It writes code that handles real donor transactions instead of using fake mock payloads. You build your custom sync scripts faster. The agent writes tests against real API shapes, which prevents production bugs.

Debug webhooks using the Cursor MCP Server

The `list_donation_webhooks` tool exposes active webhook configurations to your coding workspace. Your agent reads the event endpoints and helps you write matching receiver code. You write the webhook handlers inside Cursor while looking at the exact payload structures. This cuts down on trial-and-error deployment cycles.

Build CRM sync tools

The `sync_donor_contact` tool lets your agent write code that updates donor profiles in real time. It pairs with `list_donor_contacts` to check for duplicates before writing new records. This keeps your custom internal database perfectly matched with your fundraising platform. You write clean, idempotent sync logic in minutes.

Setup guide

Set up Givebutter MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Givebutter MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Givebutter transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Givebutter tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
