Run multi-step donor analysis in Windsurf

The `list_donation_registrants` tool lets your agent pull individual donor profiles directly into your workspace. Cascade chains this with `list_crm_contacts` to cross-reference donor histories without requiring you to manually prompt every single step. It grabs the raw data, identifies patterns, and updates your context in one single run. This MCP Server gives your workspace direct access to your fundraising database, bypassing slow manual exports. You get clean, structured donor lists without jumping between browser tabs.

Track live campaign performance

The `list_recent_donations` tool provides immediate access to the latest ten transactions on your fundraising pages. Cascade can automatically trigger `list_peer_campaigns` right after to update your team's internal dashboard with real-time peer-to-peer performance metrics. Instead of running manual reports, you let your agent monitor active fundraising drives. It handles the data retrieval behind the scenes, leaving you with clean, up-to-date totals.

Reconcile financial records automatically

The `list_financial_transactions` tool extracts successful charges directly from your payment processor records. Cascade combines this tool with `filter_orders_by_status` to isolate failed or pending payments during audit checks. Your agent handles the dirty work of cross-checking invoices with this MCP integration. It isolates discrepancies in seconds, so your accounting team does not have to hunt down missing transactions manually.
