create-board-tool

Create 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.

namestring, required

Human-readable board name, e.g. "Living Room".

layoutIdstring

Board grid: wide-frame = 6 rows x 22 columns, triptych-15 = 3 x 15, ticker-6 = 1 x 6. Immutable after creation.

    }
  }
}

delete-board-tool

Permanently delete a Blipboard board and all its scenes. Requires the board's secret pushToken. This cannot be undone.

Argument	Type	Description
boardUrl*	string	The board displayUrl returned by create-board, or its bare 21-character display token.
pushToken*	string	The board's secret push token.

Input schema (JSON)

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "boardUrl",
    "pushToken"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "boardUrl": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The board displayUrl returned by create-board, or its bare 21-character display token."
    },
    "pushToken": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The board's secret push token."
    }
  }
}

push-scenes-tool

Push 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.

Argument	Type	Description
scenes*	array	Scenes to display, each an object: {"lines": ["ROW 1 TEXT", "..."], "durationMs"?: 1000-300000, "ttlSeconds"?: seconds until the scene disappears, "expiresAt"?: ISO 8601, "tileColors"?: [{"row","column","color"}], "animations"?: [{"row", "column", "frames": ["🟩","⬛"], "intervalMs"?: 200-10000}]}. lines are placed 1:1 (line N = row N, char M = column M, no centering). Palette emojis ⬜🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪 render as colored tiles; ALL other emojis are supported and display literally as characters (one emoji = one tile), e.g. "HELLO 🎉". animations make a single tile flip between 2-8 frames while the scene is shown — e.g. a blinking terminal cursor {"row":0,"column":21,"frames":["🟩","⬛"],"intervalMs":1000} or winking eyes with emoji frames.
source*	string	Lowercase identifier of the pusher, e.g. "claude". Each source owns its scenes; pushing replaces only this source's scenes.
replace	boolean	true (default) replaces this source's previous scenes, false appends.
boardUrl*	string	The board displayUrl returned by create-board, or its bare 21-character display token.
pushToken*	string	The board's secret push token.

Input schema (JSON)

read-board-tool

Read what a Blipboard board is currently showing: its layout and the active scene playlist. No pushToken needed.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
boardUrl*	string	The board displayUrl or its bare 21-character display token.

update-board-tool

Change 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.

Argument	Type	Description
name	string	New human-readable board name.
boardUrl*	string	The board displayUrl returned by create-board, or its bare 21-character display token.
pushToken*	string	The board's secret push token.
stylePreset	string	Switch the board to a named style preset. Available: Vestaboard, Modern Board, Default.
styleOverrides	object	Fine-grained style keys merged on top of the preset, e.g. {"board.bg": "#0a0a0a", "tile.face": "#1a3a2a", "font.family": "jetbrains-mono", "tile.flip.speed": 0.08, "transition.mode": "curtain", "light.angle": 120}. Pass null for a key to remove an override. Common keys: font.family (roboto-flex\|jetbrains-mono\|space-mono\|nerd-hacker\|anton), font.weight, tile.face (hex), board.bg (hex), tile.radius, tile.flip.speed (0.05-0.6 s), transition.mode (classic\|wave\|drift\|curtain), transition.overlap (0-1), light.angle, light.intensity.
