How to Use the GiveWP MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf run bulk exports of GiveWP donor lists?

Yes, Cascade can call listplugindonors to retrieve your entire donor list in chunks. It can then write that data directly to a CSV file in your project directory.

Q: How does Windsurf track specific GiveWP donation forms?

The agent uses getformdetails and getformperformance to fetch live metrics from your WordPress site. It displays these stats right inside your active chat window.

Q: What happens if the WordPress site goes offline?

The agent will run verifyapiconnection and report the connection failure immediately. The GiveWP MCP Server is strictly read-only for data retrieval, so it won't attempt to run other data retrieval tools until the site is back online.

Track donor histories and run fundraising performance checks right inside your IDE using Windsurf and Cascade.

Run complex multi-step donation audits in Windsurf

Cascade can chain several API calls together without stopping to ask you for permission at every single turn. When you ask about your latest fundraising campaign, the agent executes `verify_api_connection` first to ensure the WordPress site is reachable. Next, it calls `list_donation_forms` to grab active campaigns and pulls the numbers immediately. You get a complete picture of your campaign success without jumping between browser tabs. By feeding this MCP Server into your workspace, the agent automatically correlates donor segments with active forms to find your best-performing channels.

Deep donor analysis on autopilot

Finding out who your top contributors are usually requires digging through heavy WordPress admin screens. With this connection, Windsurf runs `list_plugin_donors` and feeds the raw list directly into Cascade's context window. The agent then runs `find_donor_history` to pull individual contribution records for your high-value targets. This setup lets you write custom scripts or build custom spreadsheets based on actual live data. You don't have to write a single line of PHP to fetch these details anymore.

Instant campaign performance metrics

Track your daily fundraising totals by letting Cascade query your WordPress database directly. The agent uses `get_form_performance` to analyze individual form conversion rates and logs the raw output in your workspace. If a specific form is lagging, Cascade pulls `get_form_details` to verify if the setup has any missing fields. You can ask the agent to generate markdown reports comparing different donation pages. It uses `get_plugin_stats` to compare historical baselines against current campaign periods.
