Read Funraise supporters, donations, recurring gifts and forms; add notes, tasks and supporters. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Funraise connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For nonprofit fundraisers who manage donors and donations in Funraise.
The AI lists donations with amount, date, supporter, form, campaign page, allocation and fees, for example from the last hours. You see who gave and how much.
The AI lists recurring gifts with status, frequency, amount, next payment date and supporter, and opens one for the last payment and cancel date.
The AI finds a supporter by exact email, reads their profile, tags and household, and lists their notes and interaction log of calls, emails and meetings.
The AI lists donation and event forms with their custom questions, and campaign sites (fundraising pages) with their configuration. It needs the CREATOR role for forms.
The AI creates a supporter record, adds a note to a supporter or household, or logs a call, email or meeting. Each call creates a new entry, so search by email before you add a supporter.
Changes dataThe AI creates a task linked to a supporter or a donation, with a title of up to 40 characters, or marks a task complete.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Funraise API key.
Create it in Funraise under Settings → API Keys (the API is included in paid plans; the base plan allows 3,000 requests a month). Your key is used only to call the Funraise API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"funraise": {
"url": "https://funraise.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"funraise": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://funraise.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Funraise API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper API key | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API key | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Funraise server only. Ask your AI to run funraise_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with funraise_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with funraise_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Funraise. The server calls the Funraise API with your own Funraise access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Funraise API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Funraise API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Funraise API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Funraise.
Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 28 Funraise tools can create or change data. The other 22 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Funraise server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run funraise_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run funraise_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run funraise_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with funraise_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
