# VolunteerHub MCP > VolunteerHub manages volunteer life cycles for non-profits. It lets you track every step: list volunteers with profiles, manage event schedules, monitor registrations, and accurately log hours worked by groups. This MCP provides a centralized view of your community outreach efforts. ## Overview - **Category:** human-resources - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** volunteer-management, event-scheduling, registration-tracking, community-outreach, hour-tracking, group-coordination ## Description You can connect this MCP to any AI agent to handle the entire coordination process for volunteer organizations. Need to know who's available next week? You can check current group details or list all active volunteers. If an event is happening, you can inspect its full schedule and see how many people registered through that specific link. The system lets your agent find open opportunities and track hours logged by individuals across multiple events. Because volunteer data often involves sensitive tracking, Vinkius handles everything inside a zero-trust proxy, meaning your credentials are only used in transit—they never sit on disk. This keeps the data secure while letting you build automations that span event scheduling, group coordination, and hour logging all through one AI agent. ## Tools ### check_volunteerhub_status Verifies that the MCP connection is active and ready for use. ### get_event Retrieves specific details about a single volunteer event. ### get_group Fetches the complete profile and membership list for one volunteer group. ### get_volunteer_hours Calculates and returns the total logged hours for a specific volunteer. ### get_volunteer Pulls all personal data associated with a single volunteer profile. ### list_events Retrieves a list of all upcoming or past events. ### list_groups Lists every defined volunteer group within the organization's directory. ### list_opportunities Browses and lists all currently available needs or open roles for volunteers. ### list_registrations Provides a list of every person who signed up for an event, along with their status. ### list_volunteers Lists the basic details and names of all registered volunteers. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all upcoming volunteer events. ``` **Response:** ``` You have 8 upcoming events.

They ask their agent, which uses `list_registrations` on the event ID. The agent reports 45 total signups, 38 of whom are confirmed and ready to report hours. ### Recruiting New Help The team needs temporary help for a sudden outreach effort. They ask the agent to list all available opportunities, which immediately shows three immediate needs that can be filled by checking `list_volunteers` profiles. ### Checking Team Health A manager wants to see how active the 'Youth Outreach' group is. They ask the agent to call `get_group` for that specific name, which returns member lists and recent activity. ### Calculating Yearly Impact The board needs a total impact report. The agent loops through key volunteers using their IDs, calling `get_volunteer_hours` repeatedly until it totals the organization's annual service hours. ## Benefits - Stop manually pulling data. You can list all volunteers and then use `get_volunteer` to pull specific profiles, making it easy for your agent to build a full picture of who's on staff. - Never lose track of time again. Calling `get_volunteer_hours` instantly tells you exactly how many hours someone has logged this year across any number of events. - Coordination is simple. You can list all available opportunities and then use `list_events` to check the details for the specific event those roles belong to. - Registration tracking gets reliable. Instead of sifting through spreadsheets, calling `list_registrations` gives you a clear breakdown of confirmed vs. pending spots for any given event. - Group management is streamlined. You can list all groups and then use `get_group` to inspect the members and activity levels of an entire team. ## How It Works The bottom line is that it gives your AI client access to all operational volunteer records in one place, letting you automate complex coordination tasks. 1. First, your AI client runs `check_volunteerhub_status` to confirm the connection is active. 2. Next, you prompt your agent with a specific query—for example, 'What are the open slots at the Food Bank next month?' 3. The MCP executes the necessary tools and returns structured data on available opportunities or event details. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I check if a volunteer is active using list_volunteers?** You can use `list_volunteers` to get a roster, but for activity status, you should call `get_volunteer_hours`. This will give you the concrete number of hours logged this year, which is a better metric than just being listed. **What's the best way to find out what roles are open using list_opportunities?** Call `list_opportunities` first. This gives you all current needs. Then use the specific details from those opportunities, like the event ID, to call `get_event` for context. **Can I track who is signed up for an event using list_registrations?** Yes, that's what this tool does. It provides a clear status report—confirmed, pending, or waitlisted—for every person connected to that specific event. **Does get_volunteer provide the full history of one volunteer?** It pulls the core profile data for one individual. For their total service record, you need to follow up by calling `get_volunteer_hours` using that same volunteer's ID. **How do I verify that my connection is working before running complex reports using check_volunteerhub_status?** It confirms API connectivity immediately. You run this tool first to ensure your agent has proper access credentials and the system is online before attempting any major data pulls. **If I know a group's ID, how do I use get_group to find out its full structure or membership details?** get_group retrieves comprehensive structural information for that specific group. This lets you see more than just the name; you get detailed attributes and current member counts. **What data do I get when I use get_event instead of list_events?** get_event pulls the complete record for a single event ID. This means you can access specific details like required supplies or precise location coordinates that aren't available in a general listing. **Can I use get_volunteer_hours to track total volunteer effort over time?** Yes, it calculates and returns the cumulative hours logged for a specified volunteer. This is ideal for generating accurate reports on overall service contribution. **Can my AI list volunteers and their hours?** Yes. `list_volunteers` returns the full directory, and `get_volunteer_hours` shows logged hours for any specific volunteer. **How do I see event registrations?** Use `list_registrations` with the event ID. The agent returns all registered volunteers with their status. **Can I browse available volunteer opportunities?** Yes. `list_opportunities` shows all open positions that volunteers can sign up for.
