Perplexity

Audit workspace files via Claude Code terminal

The `list_files` tool lists all active BoardMix canvases across your organization directly inside the Claude Code terminal. Claude Code runs this in your shell to index, search, and filter BoardMix files without leaving the command line. You can pipe this BoardMix file list into Claude Code scripts or grep search patterns. Using this MCP connection keeps your terminal workflows aligned with active BoardMix projects during regular system maintenance.

Export whiteboard nodes for documentation

The `list_nodes` tool extracts structural data and text from any BoardMix whiteboard for terminal-based processing. Claude Code executes this terminal-side to pull down BoardMix layout trees and convert them to local markdown or JSON files. This lets you backup your BoardMix visual architectures directly into git repositories via Claude Code. You keep your technical documentation perfectly in sync with the visual BoardMix boards your product managers edit.

Track team structures and project permissions

The `list_teams` tool queries your BoardMix organization's entire user directory and team setup. The MCP tool retrieves this data directly into Claude Code to verify user access levels and list projects associated with specific product groups. By combining this with `get_org_info`, you can run automated BoardMix security audits directly from Claude Code. Claude Code outputs a clean text report of who has access to what BoardMix assets, ready to be committed.
