How Ko-fi MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Ko-fi MCP Server and input your Ko-fi API Key.
- 2 Ask your AI client a question, such as, 'What were my donations yesterday?'
- 3 The agent uses the
list_transactionstool to query the Ko-fi API and responds with the structured data.
The bottom line is, your AI agent connects directly to Ko-fi's API, letting you run financial reports and check messages without leaving your current application.
Who Is Ko-fi MCP For?
Content Creators, digital Artists, and Open Source Maintainers who need to keep an eye on their income without constantly switching apps. If you're spending time logging into Ko-fi just to check if a payment came through, this is for you.
Uses the agent to check transaction records for new commissions and donations while working on a piece, getting immediate confirmation without switching tabs.
Asks the agent to list transactions to track recent funding or sponsorships directly from their code editor or terminal.
Checks for new tips and subscriptions by asking the agent to list transactions, getting a quick summary of support without disrupting their live setup.
What Changes When You Connect
- See all your support activity—donations, subscriptions, and shop orders—in one place. The
list_transactionstool consolidates all Ko-fi financial data, so you don't have to jump between dashboards. - Get immediate updates on new payments. When you ask the agent to list transactions, you instantly see the total amount and the number of donors, whether it's a one-time tip or a recurring payment.
- Respond to supporters faster. The agent provides context on recent activity, letting you address a donation or shop order message immediately within your workflow.
- Keep your focus where it belongs. Instead of leaving your coding IDE or writing setup to check Ko-fi, you simply prompt your AI client to run
list_transactionsand get the data pop up. - Track revenue streams easily. You can ask the agent to filter the transaction list to isolate specific revenue types, like only showing subscriptions or only showing commissions.
- Handle varied support types. The Ko-fi server tracks everything—from simple tips to complex shop commissions—meaning one tool covers your whole financial picture.
Real-World Use Cases
Need to reconcile a recent commission.
A digital artist finishes a commission and needs to know if the payment came through. They ask their agent, 'What are the latest transactions?' The agent runs list_transactions, which shows the specific shop order, confirming the commission payment and providing the transaction ID for bookkeeping.
Keeping tabs on monthly support.
A streamer wants to see if any active subscribers paid their monthly fee today. They prompt the agent to list transactions. The agent identifies the recurring subscription payments, giving them a clear count of active, paying supporters.
Responding to a major donation.
A content creator receives a large donation and wants to thank the supporter immediately. They ask the agent to list transactions. The agent not only provides the donation amount but also pulls the attached message, letting the creator respond with personalized gratitude right away.
Audit funding sources.
An open source maintainer needs to track all incoming funds from multiple sources (donations, sponsorships, shops). They use the agent to list transactions, getting a single, aggregated view of every incoming payment for a quick audit.
The Tradeoffs
Checking the Ko-fi website manually
Logging into the Ko-fi dashboard, navigating to 'Transactions', and scrolling through dates looking for a specific payment from 'Jane Doe'. This takes 5-10 minutes and breaks your focus.
→
Just ask your AI client: 'List my recent Ko-fi transactions.' The agent runs list_transactions and gives you the data right where you are, in seconds.
Copying/Pasting data into a spreadsheet
Seeing a payment notification, then having to manually copy the date, amount, and description into an accounting spreadsheet. This is tedious and prone to human error.
→
Let your agent run list_transactions. The data is returned in a structured format that you can immediately use for reporting, skipping the copy/paste steps entirely.
Relying on email notifications
Waiting for a payment confirmation email, which might arrive hours late or get buried under other spam/marketing emails. You might miss the urgency of the support.
→
Use the agent to run list_transactions. You get real-time visibility into the transactions, making sure you never miss a donation or subscription.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if you need to monitor a single source of creator income (Ko-fi) and want to integrate that data into an existing AI workflow. If your financial data comes from multiple, unrelated services (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, and Ko-fi), you need a multi-source data aggregation tool, not just this one. Also, if you only need a simple, static report (like a CSV download), you don't need an MCP Server. You only need this if you need your AI client to dynamically query and interpret the transaction data within a conversation or code block.

Available Capabilities
Checking creator payments shouldn't require leaving your workspace.

With the Ko-fi MCP Server, you just ask your agent. It runs the `list_transactions` tool, pulls the data, and gives you a clean summary of everything that happened. You stay focused, and the data comes to you.
Ko-fi MCP Server: Get a full financial picture instantly
Manual checking means logging in, finding the right report section, and manually compiling the date, donor name, and amount. It's a multi-step process that breaks your flow and wastes time.
Now, your AI agent handles the entire API connection and data parsing. You get a single, immediate response that tells you exactly what happened, saving you minutes of friction and keeping your creative process uninterrupted.
