How do I get an API Key for Givebutter?

Log in to your Givebutter dashboard, navigate to Settings > Developers > API, and you can generate a new secret API key there.

Can I process live credit card transactions via the agent?

No, this integration is for management and data retrieval. For security, live donor checkouts must still happen through Givebutter's secure forms.

What format should the donation amount be in?

The Givebutter API uses major units for amounts. For example, to record a $10.50 donation, you should provide the decimal value '10.50'.

How do I link a transaction to a specific campaign?

Use the 'campaign_id' parameter in the 'record_offline_donation' tool. You can find your campaign IDs using the 'list_fundraising_campaigns' tool.

Givebutter + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Givebutter MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Givebutter tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
