Developer Documentation

Everything you need to integrate with the FundraiserMax API. Build custom workflows, sync donor data, and connect AI assistants to your fundraising platform.

MCP Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to interact with external tools and data sources. FundraiserMax implements an MCP server that lets you use AI assistants like Claude to query and manage your fundraising data using natural language.

Why MCP?

  • Natural language access: Ask questions like "Who are my top 10 donors this year?" or "Create a new contact for Sarah Johnson" directly in your AI assistant.
  • No code required: MCP tools are invoked by the AI — you don't need to write API calls or integrations.
  • Secure: Uses the same API key authentication as the REST API. The AI assistant only accesses data your key is authorized for.
  • Real-time: MCP connects via Server-Sent Events (SSE) for efficient, streaming communication.

Supported Clients

Any MCP-compatible AI client can connect to the FundraiserMax MCP server. Currently tested with:

  • Claude Desktop (Anthropic)
  • Cursor IDE
  • Custom MCP client implementations
