MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Look up people, groups, service rosters, songs, follow-up flows and giving in Elvanto.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
elvanto_list_peopleList people in the church database, optionally filtered by category and by suspended / contact / archived status. Paginated (the response carries page, per_page, total). Elvanto: people/getAll.
elvanto_search_peopleFind people matching field values, e.g. {"email":"john@example.com"} or {"lastname":"Smith","volunteer":"yes"}. Searchable keys: firstname, preferred_name, lastname, email, phone, mobile, category_id, archived, contact, deceased, volunteer, gender, birthday, anniversary, marital_
elvanto_get_personFetch one person by id, optionally with extra fields (birthday, addresses, departments, locations, family, custom fields...). Elvanto: people/getInfo.
elvanto_list_people_categoriesList the people categories (e.g. New People, Church Members, Inactive) with their ids. Elvanto: people/categories/getAll.
elvanto_list_custom_fieldsList the church's custom person fields (id, name, type and allowed values). Use the id as custom_ in fields / search. Elvanto: people/customFields/getAll.
elvanto_list_groupsList small groups / ministries with meeting day, time, place and frequency; add fields=["people"] to include members and leaders. Elvanto: groups/getAll.
elvanto_get_groupFetch one group by id, optionally with its members (fields=["people"]). Elvanto: groups/getInfo.
elvanto_list_servicesList services (upcoming by default). Add fields such as volunteers (the roster), plans (order of service) and songs to answer 'who is serving Sunday?' or 'what are we singing?'. Elvanto: services/getAll.
elvanto_get_serviceFetch one service by id with optional detail: service/rehearsal times, plan (order of service), volunteers roster, songs, files, notes. Elvanto: services/getInfo.
elvanto_list_songsList or search the song library by title, artist or lyrics (with CCLI number, categories and locations). Elvanto: songs/getAll.
elvanto_list_song_arrangementsList the arrangements of one song — sequence, BPM, keys, lyrics and chord chart (optionally transposed). Elvanto: songs/arrangements/getAll.
elvanto_list_calendarsList the church's calendars with their ids. Elvanto: calendar/getAll.
elvanto_list_calendar_eventsList calendar events between two dates, optionally for specific calendars (use "services" as a calendar to include services). Elvanto: calendar/events/getAll.
elvanto_list_people_flowsList people flows — the church's follow-up pipelines (e.g. First Time Guest Follow Up) — with their steps and admins. Elvanto: peopleFlows/getAll.
elvanto_list_people_flow_stepsList the steps of one people flow with descriptions, instructions, due rules and admins. Elvanto: peopleFlows/steps/getAll.
elvanto_list_people_flow_step_peopleList the people currently in one people-flow step, with status, due date and assigned admin — e.g. who still needs a follow-up call. Not paginated. Elvanto: peopleFlows/steps/people.
elvanto_list_financial_categoriesList giving / chart-of-accounts categories (funds) with ids; status 1 = active, 0 = archived. Elvanto: financial/categories/getAll.
elvanto_list_transactionsList giving transactions between two dates, optionally for one fund — donor, date, method, batch and per-fund amounts. Read-only: this server never writes financial records. Elvanto: financial/transactions/getAll.
elvanto_create_personAdd a new person to the church database (e.g. a first-time guest). Returns the new person id and family id. Does not create a login. Elvanto: people/create.
elvanto_update_personEdit an existing person's details — name, contact info, category, flags, family, or extra fields. Only the fields you pass change. Cannot touch username, password or login status. Elvanto: people/edit.
elvanto_add_person_to_groupAdd a person to a group, optionally as Leader or Assistant Leader. Undoable by removing them from the group in Elvanto. Elvanto: groups/addPerson.
elvanto_add_person_to_flow_stepPut a person into a people-flow step (e.g. start a new guest's follow-up), optionally assigning a step admin. Elvanto: peopleFlows/steps/addPerson.
elvanto_create_calendar_eventCreate an event on a calendar, optionally repeating. Times are 24-hour GMT. Use status "draft" to stage it unpublished. Elvanto: calendar/events/create.

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Use Elvanto from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up people, groups, service rosters, songs, follow-up flows and giving records. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Elvanto credentials.
Live endpoint: https://elvanto.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/elvanto
https://elvanto.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http elvanto https://elvanto.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.{

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, and the login page asks for your Elvanto credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/elvanto/
On first connect you'll provide your Elvanto API key (Settings → Account Settings → API, administrators only). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
