Frequently asked questions
How do I get a DonorsChoose API Key?
For general public access, you can use the API key 'DONORSCHOOSE'. If you require a unique key for high-volume use, you can apply for one through the DonorsChoose developer site.
Can the agent make donations directly?
This integration currently focuses on searching and auditing project data. Making actual donations should be completed via the project links provided by the agent on the DonorsChoose website.
Which geographical areas are covered?
DonorsChoose covers public and charter school classroom projects across all 50 US states.
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 DonorsChoose 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.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
