Sifting through donor reports takes forever.
Right now, to get a full picture of how much a specific person has contributed over the last year, you're probably jumping between pages. You check their contact details in one tab, run a report on all donations in another, and then manually cross-reference if they had any recurring payments set up. It’s copy/paste hell.
With this MCP, your agent handles that entire flow for you. You just tell the system who you need to know about, and it pulls the person's details, their donation history via `list_donations`, and their subscription data—all in one go. It’s instant context.
The Donately MCP gives you full control over your giving data.
Forget the manual work of creating records. You can use `list_campaigns` to see what's running, then use `get_fundraiser` on a struggling campaign, and finally, when someone calls in with cash, you just ask the agent to run `create_donation`. Three separate steps, zero friction.
The data moves from being static report pages into actionable intelligence. You don’t just read about giving; your agent helps you record it, track it, and organize it for what's next.
What your AI can actually do with this
You deal with donation data all the time—donor contacts, campaign goals, one-time gifts, and steady recurring income. Traditionally, pulling together a full picture meant logging into the platform, running separate reports for people, then cross-referencing those results in an Excel sheet. It’s tedious.
With this MCP, your agent handles all that lifting. You tell it what you need—like 'Show me every person who gave over $50 last quarter'—and it pulls the right data from across campaigns, people records, and donation history. It even lets your agent create new transactions if a donor calls in with cash.
This isn’t just another API wrapper; it gives your AI client full access to organize your entire fundraising lifecycle. When you connect this through Vinkius, you get immediate access to the whole catalog of tools, meaning you can manage every facet of your non-profit's giving history right from your chat window.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that it lets your agent talk directly to your donor database without you ever touching the platform's dashboard.
First, you subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and insert your unique Donately API Token and Account ID.
Next, you ask your AI client to perform an action, like 'List all active campaigns.'
The agent uses this MCP to fetch the data directly from Donately, giving you a clean, structured summary.
Who is this actually for?
Anyone running or managing a non-profit needs this. It’s for development directors and grant managers who are tired of spending hours piecing together reports from multiple tabs and spreadsheets just to know how much money came in last month.
You use it to track donor history, identify major donors, and pull lists for personalized appeal letters.
You use it to list campaigns and donations, quickly proving the funds raised against a specific grant goal.
You use it to programmatically manage donor records, ensuring that new gifts or updated contact info are logged accurately in your systems.
What Changes When You Connect
Instant Donor Reports: Instead of running separate reports for each person and then trying to cross-reference them, you can use list_people combined with other tools to build a complete list of contacts in one go. The agent handles the filtering.
Never Miss a Gift Detail: Need to know exactly when that $50 gift came in? Use get_donation to pull all transaction specifics instantly. You don't have to dig through multiple pages of reports.
Comprehensive View of Giving: To understand giving habits, you can check out the full list of recurring donations using list_subscriptions, which keeps your steady income predictable and visible.
Campaign Performance Tracking: Want a quick overview? Use list_campaigns to see every active effort. Then, use get_fundraiser to drill down into how one specific peer-to-peer challenge is performing.
Actionable Donor Management: You can't just read the data; you need to act on it. The create_donation tool lets your agent log a gift immediately when a donor calls in, making sure the record is perfect.
See it in action
Calculating Total Donor Value
A Development Director needs to know the lifetime value of Jane Smith before sending her an appeal. The agent uses get_person to confirm her contact details, then runs a query through list_donations and list_subscriptions to sum up every gift she's made.
Launching a New Campaign
A Grant Manager needs to track funds for an urgent initiative. They use get_campaign to pull the existing goal details, then they ask the agent to run create_donation whenever a major gift comes in, ensuring every transaction is logged against that campaign.
Auditing Recurring Revenue
A finance analyst needs to verify if all annual pledges were correctly set up. They use list_subscriptions, and then they can select a specific entry using get_subscription to confirm the payment amount and cycle date.
Identifying Campaign Gaps
The team needs to know which peer-to-peer fundraisers are lagging. They run list_fundraisers, spot the weak ones, and then use get_fundraiser on those specific IDs to see exactly who hasn't participated yet.
The honest tradeoffs
Trying to find a person’s total giving history
A user might try to just search for the name 'John Doe' and expect all his donations to pop up, but the system treats people and transactions separately.
You need two steps. First, use get_person to get John Doe's ID. Then, you must ask the agent to filter list_donations using that specific person ID to get a complete history.
Logging a donation manually via external tools
A volunteer receives cash donations but doesn't know which API endpoint handles it. They might just try to update the person record, missing the actual transaction log.
Always use create_donation when logging any new funds. This ensures that the gift is recorded as a full transaction and linked properly to the campaign.
Assuming all contacts are in one place
The user assumes finding 'John Doe' via search gives them everything, but sometimes contact records are updated separately from donation activity.
Check get_person for the base details. Then, if you need history, run list_people first, and then use the resulting IDs to query both donations and subscriptions.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your core job is data aggregation, reporting on donor history, or logging transactions related to fundraising. You should use it anytime you need to connect a person's identity (get_person) with their activity (donations/subscriptions) and campaign context. Don't use this if your goal is simply to manage the raw source of truth for non-Donately data—like tracking physical assets or unrelated internal communication logs; those require a different type of service.
If you only need to read general information, list_campaigns works great. But if you need to perform an action (like logging money), stick with the dedicated tools like create_donation. If your data problem is cross-system, this MCP isn't enough; you’ll need a connector for that other system.
Questions you might have
How do I get a list of all my donors using the Donately MCP? +
Use list_people to retrieve a full contact roster. If you want to see their giving history, combine that call with list_donations to pull all transactions for those people.
What if I need to log a new donation using the Donately MCP? +
You must use the create_donation tool. This is the official way to record funds, ensuring the transaction gets logged correctly alongside all other activities.

Does the AI agent process payments directly? +
No, the AI agent retrieves and manages data from your Donately account, it does not act as a payment gateway itself.
Can the AI agent create new fundraising campaigns? +
Currently, the agent can list and retrieve information about existing campaigns, but campaign creation should be done in the Donately dashboard.
