Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for Givebutter?
Log in to your Givebutter dashboard, navigate to Settings > Developers > API, and you can generate a new secret API key there.
Can I process live credit card transactions via the agent?
No, this integration is for management and data retrieval. For security, live donor checkouts must still happen through Givebutter's secure forms.
What format should the donation amount be in?
The Givebutter API uses major units for amounts. For example, to record a $10.50 donation, you should provide the decimal value '10.50'.
How do I link a transaction to a specific campaign?
Use the 'campaign_id' parameter in the 'record_offline_donation' tool. You can find your campaign IDs using the 'list_fundraising_campaigns' tool.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
