MCP
Give your agent Givebutter tools
Every Givebutter action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's Givebutter account for each tool call — you store no tokens.
// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
{
requestInit: {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
"x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
"x-pd-environment": "production",
"x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
"x-pd-app-slug": "givebutter",
},
},
},
)
const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// e.g. run Create Contact:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
name: "givebutter-create-contact",
arguments: {
firstName: "First Name",
lastName: "Last Name",
},
})# access_token: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide

Call the Givebutter API directly
For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Givebutter API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.
const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
url: "https://api.givebutter.com/v1/contacts",
})
// Any allowed Givebutter endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.# The path segment is the target URL, URL-safe base64 encoded:
# https://api.givebutter.com/v1/contacts
curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuZ2l2ZWJ1dHRlci5jb20vdjEvY29udGFjdHM?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \

Run Givebutter actions from your backend
Connect a user's Givebutter account once, then run Create Contact on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "givebutter-create-contact",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
givebutter: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
firstName: "First Name",
lastName: "Last Name",

Givebutter actions
On-demand operations your product or agent can configure and run on behalf of a connected user.
-
Create Contact
actionCreate a new contact/donor in Givebutter, returning the created contact with its assignedid. For an individual contact, providefirstNameandlastName; theemailvalue is submitted as the APIprimary_emailfield. See the documentationWritev0.0.2 -
Get Transaction
actionRetrieve a single transaction from Givebutter by its transaction ID. Returns the transaction object (includesid,amount,fee,captured,refunded, andline_items). See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.2 -
List Campaigns
actionList campaigns from the authenticated Givebutter account. Returns a paginated array of campaign objects (each includes at minimumid,code, andtitle). Use this to discover campaign IDs before referencing a campaign in other tools. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.2 -
List Contacts
actionList contacts/donors from the authenticated Givebutter account. Returns a paginated array of contact objects (each includes at minimumid,primary_email,first_name, andlast_name). Note that the API returns onlyindividualcontacts unless Type is set tocompany. Use this to discover contact IDs before calling Update Contact. See the documentationRead-onlyv0.0.2 -
Update Contact
actionUpdate an existing Givebutter contact, returning the updated contact object. Set only the fields you want to change. Use List Contacts first to find the contact ID. Note that Givebutter validates this as a full update — individual contacts requirefirst_nameandlast_name, and company contacts requirecompany_name, even when those values are not changing — so this action reads the contact first and re-sends its existing name and company values automatically. See the documentationWritev0.0.2
