Board MCP tools
When you ask Claude Code or Codex to do something on the board, they use these tools. You don’t need to remember the names.
The MCP server is named folto.

|---|---|---|
list_boards | List the boards in the project | All plans (reads) |
open_board | Switch the board to work on (the app shows it too) | All plans (reads) |
describe_board | Read a board summary (name, item count, selection) and the kinds of items it can hold | All plans (reads) |
read_board | Read items and connectors (all, the selection, or inside a frame) | All plans (reads) |
create_nodes | Add sticky notes, shapes, cards, frames, and more | Connect and up (writes) |
update_nodes | Change an item’s text, color, size, or frame | Connect and up (writes) |
delete_nodes | Delete items | Connect and up (writes) |
connect_nodes | Connect items with connectors | Connect and up (writes) |
set_layout | Set how a frame arranges its contents (grid, columns, tree, …) | Connect and up (writes) |

Every tool works only on the open project’s boards. Files not sent to AI can’t be read.
