Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant read and update Elvanto church data — people, groups, services, songs, follow-up flows and giving records.

What it does
A hosted MCP server exposing Elvanto tools. Read tools list and search people, get a person, list people categories and custom fields, list groups and services, list songs and their arrangements, list calendars and calendar events, list people flows and their steps, and list financial categories and giving transactions. Write tools create or update a person, add a person to a group or a flow step, and create a calendar event. Meta tools report usage and manage the subscription.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to answer questions about a church's Elvanto records or make small updates, such as looking up a member, checking a service roster, or adding someone to a group or follow-up flow.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint; no local install. Requires an Elvanto API key from an administrator (Settings, Account Settings, API), supplied on first connect and stored per user. Network access to the hosted endpoint.
Before you install
Write tools create or update people, group and flow memberships, and calendar events, so changes should be confirmed before running. The server handles an Elvanto API key and giving and transaction records, which are sensitive; the key is stored per user by the third-party host. Free tier is limited to 100 tool calls per month, and paid plans cost $9/mo or $90/yr.
