MCP all the things.
Every way to connect an AI agent to your live, human-visible Boarderless canvas — servers, extensions, packages, and docs, all in one place. Local-first, always: the browser owns the board.
MCP Server — npm
The core local stdio MCP server. Attaches to your signed-in canvas tab via Chrome DevTools Protocol and gives agents a typed spatial ledger: inspect, create, mutate, group, undo, export, and durable .bdrl.json board files.
npx -y @boarderless/mcp-server
Claude Desktop Extension
One-click install for Claude Desktop, packaged as an MCP Bundle (.mcpb). Configure your workspace folder in settings, sign into your canvas, and Claude is on the board — headed to the Anthropic Connectors Directory.
VS Code Extension
Zero-configuration MCP registration for native VS Code AI features like GitHub Copilot Chat. Includes a one-command debug-browser launcher and full settings integration.
Remote MCP Adapter
This server. A hosted HTTP/SSE adapter with a browser-mediated session bridge — remote agents reach only the canvas you visibly pair, never a hidden cloud copy. OAuth 2.1 and Streamable HTTP are on the roadmap.

Source & Docs
Apache-2.0, open source. The full product & MCP feature catalog, connector distribution plan, operator runbook, and the OAuth 2.1 remote adapter design all live in the repository.
Agent Skills & Starter Kit
A Claude Skill for canvas workflows and a developer-ready agent boilerplate (boarderless-mcp-agent-boilerplate) so your agent ships with board-file best practices baked in.
Boarderless App
Your canvas has no edges. Put photos anywhere — even three feet apart. Always-lossless PNG export, elite fidelity, local-first persistence. Public and live — launch the canvas and go.
Playground
The boundless creative sandbox — an interactive showcase of why open space beats locked-down template grids, with tactile ASMR feedback.
Connect an agent in three steps
Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and any stdio-compatible MCP host.
Open your canvas
Launch a Chromium browser with remote debugging on port 9222 and sign in at boarderless.app/canvas. The server can auto-launch this for you.
Add the server
Install the Claude Desktop extension, the VS Code extension, or add npx -y @boarderless/mcp-server to your client's MCP config.
Run get_server_status
The first-run diagnostic verifies browser, auth, and canvas bridge — then your agent is on the board.
