How do I get board member info through my AI?

Your AI uses the BoardEffect MCP to fetch member lists and individual profiles. You just ask for a name or a list, and it pulls the data into your chat. You'll get contact details and professional backgrounds instantly.

Where the data goes

What you can do with this data

LISTS
