Whiteboard MCP Server — Tools & Setup

What is the Whiteboard MCP Server?

whiteboard-mcp is a simple whiteboard web application, providing a convenient way for displaying Chatbot/LLM's output.

What it actually does

Web whiteboard — — Browser UI to show content pushed by agents or other clients; good for demos and side-by-side LLM output
Any screen — — Open the board URL in a browser on any monitor, projector, or device on your network
Dual MCP transports — — Streamable HTTP at /mcp and SSE at /sse for clients that only support one style
REST API — — GET/POST /api/content for non-MCP integrations; history list/restore/delete under /api/history
History — — Server-side history of updates; reopen a past version from the history UI (and via the history API)
Export — — Save the current view as HTML or Markdown from the menu; Print / PDF (browser print-to-PDF) when the board shows HTML or Markdown
