Work with your boards
Browse published shared boards, inspect the board open in your browser, and apply precise edits without moving files between apps.
Public beta
Bring FlashBoards into your AI client
Give your AI client a direct, permissioned way to understand your boards, use supported models, and send finished work back to the canvas.
MCP is available to every active FlashBoards account. Sign in and open Settings → Developer for the server details, connected apps, and revocable API keys.
What it adds
Your boards, available where you think
Generate in context
Choose supported image and video models, check inputs and prices, start generations, and follow their status.
Keep control
Approve OAuth access or use a revocable API key for headless clients. Disconnect either one from Settings.
Connect
One server URL
FlashBoards uses a remote MCP server. There is no local MCP server to install, and provider credentials stay on FlashBoards.
Remote Streamable HTTP
https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/api/mcp- 1
Open FlashBoards
Sign in, open the board you want to use, then open Settings → Developer. Keep that board tab open for live board tools.

Authorize your client
Complete browser sign-in and approval for Claude Code, or create a FlashBoards API key for Hermes Agent.
Authentication
Choose the connection that fits
OAuth
Claude Code
Add the server URL, then follow Claude Code's browser prompt to sign in and approve access. No FlashBoards API key is copied into Claude Code.
API key
Hermes Agent
Create a key in Settings → Developer and store it in Hermes as an environment-backed Bearer token. Treat the key like a password and revoke it when it is no longer needed.
Client setup
Two beta connection paths
The current beta guide covers Claude Code with browser OAuth and Hermes Agent with a FlashBoards API key. Each section links to the client's official MCP documentation.
Claude Code
Add FlashBoards as a user-scoped remote HTTP server. Claude Code opens the browser when authentication is required.
- Run the command below in a terminal.
- In Claude Code, run /mcp and choose FlashBoards to complete browser sign-in.
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http flashboards --scope user https://flashboards.yaroflasher.com/api/mcpHermes Agent (API key)
Connect Hermes Agent with a revocable FlashBoards API key stored outside config.yaml.
- In FlashBoards, open Settings → Developer, create an API key, and copy it when it is shown.
- Save the key in ~/.hermes/.env as shown below.
- Add the FlashBoards server to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, reference the environment variable, then run /reload-mcp in Hermes or start a fresh session.

Official client documentation (opens in a new tab)Simple billing
Free to connect. Pay only for generation.
Connecting and working with your boards is free. AI image and video generation uses your FlashBoards balance.
- Subscription balance is used before purchased top-ups.
- If your subscription ends, purchased top-up balance stays available.
- A zero balance limits paid generation, not free board tools.
- Failed generations are not charged.
Safety
Before you enable generation tools
- A generation tool call can spend FlashBoards credits. Review the model, inputs, and price estimate before approving it in your client.
- API keys and connected apps act as your account. Revoke anything you no longer use from Settings → Developer.
- If a generation reports an unconfirmed or indeterminate submission, do not retry it. Check generation history and your balance first.
- Live board tools only act on boards and browser sessions owned by the connected account.
