    How to connect

    How to connect blipboard to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://blip-board.app/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.

    create-board-toolCreate a new Blipboard split-flap display board. Returns the display URL (open it on any screen — that IS the board, safe to share) and a secret pushToken used to push content later. No account needed.
    push-scenes-toolPush text scenes to a Blipboard board. Scenes replace your source's previous scenes by default and rotate as a playlist on the display. Requires the board's secret pushToken.
    read-board-toolRead what a Blipboard board is currently showing: its layout and the active scene playlist. No pushToken needed.
    update-board-toolChange a Blipboard board's look without recreating it: switch to a named style preset and/or set fine-grained style overrides (fonts, tile colors, flip speed, transitions). The open display picks the change up within ~10 seconds. Layout stays immutable. Requires the board's secret pushToken.
    delete-board-toolPermanently delete a Blipboard board and all its scenes. Requires the board's secret pushToken. This cannot be undone.
