A one-page map of FlashBoards for people and AI agents. Each row links to its guide. “Paid” means the action uses your dollar balance; charging and unresolved-result rules are explained in [Billing](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/generation/billing.md). Tool names link to [MCP](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/integrations/mcp.md) and [Public API](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/integrations/api.md) guidance. Some tools are MCP-only; use each connection’s discovery to see what it offers.

This list is built from the docs pages themselves. It is also available as [Markdown](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/feature-map.md) and [JSON](https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/docs/feature-map.json).
