Connect Claude & ChatGPT to OpenFundraise
Ask your AI what came in this week, who gives monthly, or what a supporter has given before. It can list donations by date, campaign, status or frequency, read a single donation, list recurring gifts and your active campaigns, and search supporters. It can also add an internal note to a supporter after a call or meeting.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Questions
What can the AI do in OpenFundraise?
The AI can list and read donations, list recurring donations and active campaigns, and search supporters by query, email or date range. It can also add internal notes to a supporter.
Does the AI see my OpenFundraise API key?
No. Your OpenFundraise API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.
Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Adding a supporter note is the only tool that writes, and it can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.
What does it cost?
PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own OpenFundraise account.
Are supporter notes visible to the supporter?
No. Notes the AI adds are stored on the supporter record in OpenFundraise and are not sent to the supporter. You can mark a note as internal or private, and pin it if it should stay on top.
