Tools (25)

• add_image
  Place a raster or SVG image on the board at (x, y) with explicit width/height in board pixels. `data_url` MUST be a `data:image/(png|jpeg|gif|webp|svg+xml);base64,...` string ≤ ~900 kB; hosted URLs a…
• add_link
  Drop a URL capsule onto the board — rendered as a clickable pill showing the hostname. Use this instead of `add_text` when the node is just a link; the capsule styling signals clickability to humans.…
• add_text
  Create a NEW text node, or update an existing one (pass the same `id` to overwrite content/position in place — preferred over creating a duplicate). Supports cnvs markup (Markdown-ish) and Mermaid di…
• create_board
  Create a fresh board in ONE call — optionally pre-filled with content, auto-laid-out, and/or PIN-locked at create time. Mirrors the extended `POST /api/boards` REST body exactly (same server-side imp…
• create_column
  Add a kanban column (swimlane) to a 'todo' board. Generates and returns a stable column id. `sort` is a float ordering key (ascending); omit to default to 0. `lane` is an integer row index for multi-…
• create_task
  Create a task (card) in a column on a 'todo' board. Generates and returns a stable task id. `column_id` must reference an existing column (see `list_tasks`). `description` is free-form prose stored o…
• create_tasks
  Bulk-create multiple task cards in one call — far cheaper than calling `create_task` N times. Pass `tasks`: an array of task objects, each with `column_id` (required) + the same fields `create_task` …
• delete_column
  Delete a kanban column by id. Tasks in the column are removed with it. Get the id from `list_tasks`.
• delete_task
  Delete a task (card) by id. Get the id from `list_tasks`.
• draw_stroke
  Draw a freehand stroke on the board. Use for arrows, underlines, connector lines, annotations, or simple shapes — a straight line needs two points, a rough circle wants ~20. Stroke width is fixed at …
• erase
  Delete a single item by id. `kind` MUST match the item type: 'text' for text nodes, 'line' for freehand strokes, 'image' for images — the wrong kind silently targets the wrong table and is a common m…
• export_tasks
  Export a 'todo' board's columns + tasks as a single text document. `format` is 'markdown' (a checklist grouped by column, the default) or 'csv' (one row per task with column/name/priority/assignee/du…
• get_board
  Full structured JSON state of a board: texts (id, x, y, content, color, width, postit, author), strokes (id, points, color, author), images (id, x, y, width, height, dataUrl, thumbDataUrl, author; he…
• get_preview
  Compact schematic SVG render of the board (typically a few kB even for dense boards). Returns both an image/svg+xml content block (you can SEE it) and the raw SVG text. CALL THIS any time you need to…
• list_tasks
  Read the full kanban state of a 'todo' board: `{ mode, columns, tasks }`, both ordered by their `sort` key (ascending). Each task carries its hot fields (name, due_date, priority, assignee, done, col…
• move
  Reposition an existing item to a new (x, y) without retyping its content. Works for every item kind: `text` and `link` set the top-left to (x, y); `line` translates every point so the stroke's boundi…
• move_task
  Move a task to a column at a given sort position — the kanban drag-and-drop primitive. `column_id` is the destination column and `sort` its float order key (ascending) within that column.
• open_board
  ALWAYS call this first when given a board URL or ID. Resolves the canonical board id and auto-creates the board row if it does not exist yet. Returns a summary (item counts, authors). After this, cal…
• query_tasks
  Read tasks from a 'todo' board with server-side filtering — handy for 'what's overdue?' / 'what's assigned to X?' without pulling the whole board. All filters are optional and AND together: `assignee…
• set_board_mode
  Choose whether this board is a freeform whiteboard ('draw', the default) or a kanban task board ('todo'). Mode is switchable WHENEVER the board is empty of real content: drawings (text/strokes/images…
• set_column_width
  Set the shared kanban column width in pixels for a 'todo' board (all columns share one width). Clamped to [200, 480]. Read the current value as `colWidth` from `list_tasks`.
• set_lane
  Set (or clear) the title of a kanban row (lane). Lanes group columns into horizontal swimlanes; a lane is identified by its integer `lane` index (the same index columns carry). Pass a `title` to name…
• update_column
  Rename, reorder, recolor or move an existing kanban column. Requires the column `id` (from `list_tasks`). Pass `title`, `sort`, `lane` and/or `color` to change them.
• update_task
  Update an existing task by `id` (from `list_tasks`). Pass only the fields you want to change: `name`, `description`, `due_date`, `priority` ('H'|'M'|'L'), `assignee`, `done` (true once completed), `c…
• wait_for_update
  Long-poll: blocks until the next edit lands on this board, then returns. WHEN TO CALL THIS: if your MCP client does NOT surface `notifications/resources/updated` events from `resources/subscribe` bac…
