How to Use the Givebutter MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: Can OpenAI Agents SDK automatically track Givebutter recurring plans?

Yes, the agent uses listrecurringplans to monitor active subscriptions. You can ask it to flag failed plans or upcoming renewals automatically.

Q: How does OpenAI Agents SDK handle Givebutter webhooks?

The agent calls listdonationwebhooks to inspect your active endpoints. This lets your system monitor real-time event routing without manual API checks.

Q: What happens if my agent tries to record a fake donation?

The server rejects invalid payloads when calling recordofflinedonation. The agent will receive an API error and halt the execution trace.

Perplexity

Sync donor data directly through the MCP Server

Keep your donor records updated without touching code. Your agent uses `sync_donor_contact` to instantly push new contacts into Givebutter, while pulling existing profiles via `list_donor_contacts` to prevent duplicates. You don't need to manually check if a contact exists before running an import. The agent handles the lookup and writes the data, keeping your CRM clean during high-volume outreach.

Track donation transactions on the fly

Monitor incoming funds by letting your agent query `list_donation_transactions` and `list_recent_donations` to generate real-time reports. It pulls exact transaction metadata so you can spot trends as they happen. Instead of building custom reporting dashboards, you just ask your agent for the latest numbers. It fetches the exact details from Givebutter and formats them instantly for your team.

Manage campaigns with guardrails

Let your OpenAI Agents SDK check campaign status using `get_campaign_details` and `list_fundraising_campaigns`. The SDK's built-in guardrails ensure the agent only queries active Givebutter campaigns. If an agent tries to pull data from an archived fundraiser, the SDK blocks the action before it hits the API. This keeps your automated workflows safe and prevents wasted API calls.

Setup guide

Set up Givebutter MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

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

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Givebutter tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Givebutter tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Givebutter tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Givebutter Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Givebutter tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
