MCP

The Giving v1 Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with API documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Giving v1 MCP server provides AI agents with:

  • Documentation search capabilities
  • Common use case workflows (via MCP tools)
  • Code generation assistance for Giving v1 integrations

Giving v1 MCP Server Setup

Giving v1 hosts a remote MCP server at https://pushpay-givingv1.readme.io/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pushpay-givingv1": {
      "url": "https://docs.pushpay.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

  1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, etc.)
  2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
  3. Ask about Giving v1 - try questions like:
    • "How do I [common use case]?"
    • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
    • "Create a [integration type] using Giving v1"

The AI should now have access to the API documentation through the MCP server.
