FlipLetters tools (13, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsflipletters_create_animationwrite actionFreeOne call from plain text to a FlipLetters video: builds a board on a text template (default minimal), checks the text against FlipLetters content rules, cloud-renders an MP4 under the signed-in owner's plan (free renders carry the FlipLetters watermark), and returns mp4Url (downloadable HTTPS), shareUrl (opens in Studio), jobId, status and expiresAt. If the render is still running when this returns, poll flipletters_render_status with jobId.
flipletters_example_boardFreeReturns a complete, valid flipcode document for a board type (minimal, trainboard/station, artboard, flipdot, marquee, announcement, arena) — a known-good starting point to edit rather than writing from scratch.
flipletters_flipcode_referenceFreeReturns the flipcode cheat sheet (spec v1): directives, board types and size limits, transition modes, and flip-native effect recipes. Call this before writing a board so the code you produce is valid on the first try.
flipletters_list_postiz_destinationsFreeLists Postiz destinations (masked keys) attached to a FlipLetters project. Use flipletters_list_workspaces first. Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_….
flipletters_list_postiz_integrationsFreeLists connected social channels for a project's Postiz share account. Use before flipletters_share_to_postiz to get integrationId. Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_….
flipletters_list_teamsFreeLists FlipLetters teams the API key owner belongs to (teamId, name, inviteCode). Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_… with team scope.
flipletters_list_workspacesFreeLists agency projects (workspaces) for the API key owner, plus the active project id. Project-scoped keys return their bound project as active. Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_….
flipletters_render_boardFreeParses flipcode and submits a cloud MP4 render under the API key owner's FlipLetters plan (same free quota / Premium / Studio limits as the Studio). Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_… (or FLIPLETTERS_API_KEY on stdio). Polls until done (or returns jobId if wait=false). Prefer share links for free previews; only render when the human wants an MP4 file.
flipletters_render_statusFreePoll a cloud render job started with flipletters_render_board. Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_….
flipletters_share_to_postizwrite actionFreeUploads a cloud media URL (or Studio host local fileName) to a project's Postiz destination and schedules/drafts/posts it. Loop: render_board → list_workspaces → list_postiz_destinations → list_postiz_integrations → share_to_postiz. Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_…. Prefer mediaUrl from flipletters_render_board.
flipletters_share_to_teamFreeParses flipcode and shares the board into a Team Library the key owner is a member of. Requires Authorization: Bearer flk_…. Use flipletters_list_teams first to get teamId.
flipletters_template_urlFreeBuilds a human-readable FlipLetters Studio URL where every query parameter mirrors one flipcode line — good for short text boards you want legible in the address itself (chat messages, docs). For full fidelity or paint grids use flipletters_validate_board's share link instead. Slides are strings with | between rows.
flipletters_validate_boardFreeParses a flipcode document, returning the normalized canonical code, any warnings (out-of-range values are clamped, unknown lines ignored), a board summary, and links: a share URL that opens the exact board in the FlipLetters Studio, and an open-with-code URL that also reveals the code panel. Use this after drafting a board; fix warnings and re-validate until clean, then give the human the share link.

FlipLetters MCP
The Model Context Protocol server for FlipLetters. FlipLetters makes split-flap and flip-dot board videos (the look of an old train-station departure board) with synthesized mechanical sound. Boards are written in flipcode, a small open text format. This MCP lets AI agents draft and validate boards, build Studio share links, render MP4s, and send boards to a team library or a Postiz social queue.
