How to Use the GiveForms MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure GiveForms inside my Cursor editor?

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root to register the MCP Server. Once saved, Cursor detects the endpoints and lets you query getorganizationinfo immediately.

Q: Can Cursor generate React components using live GiveForms donation data?

Yes, the editor can fetch live records using listrecentdonations and use that exact structure to build typed components. This eliminates discrepancies between your types and the API payload.

Q: How do I debug GiveForms query issues inside Cursor?

Ask the editor to run finddonationsbyname in agent mode to check the response. You can view the raw payload directly in your chat sidebar to spot formatting errors.

Q: Can I filter the records retrieved by the editor?

Yes, you can ask the editor to use listcampaigndonations to narrow down the dataset. This keeps your workspace clean by only fetching transactions from specific fundraising campaigns.

Write Code with Real GiveForms Data in Cursor

Stop writing mock objects for your fundraising dashboards. When you write code in Cursor, the editor calls `get_donation_details` via the MCP interface to pull actual payload structures into your active file. This direct integration lets the editor generate highly accurate parsing logic. You will never have to guess the JSON schema of your transaction logs again.

Debug Donor Search Logic on the Fly

Building a custom search interface requires precise query handling. The editor uses `find_donations_by_email` and `find_donations_by_name` to test your query code against real donor records as you write it. If a lookup fails, you can inspect the raw response immediately. This active feedback loop ensures your search functions handle edge cases before you commit.

Verify Endpoints with an MCP Server

Testing backend connections shouldn't require spinning up a separate postman instance when you have this MCP Server. Use `verify_api_connection` directly within your workspace to confirm your credentials are valid. Once connected, you can pull entire datasets using `list_all_donations` or `list_recent_donations` to populate your local UI components with live staging data.

Setup guide

Set up GiveForms 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 GiveForms 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 GiveForms transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the GiveForms tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "giveforms-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
