Authentication
- Start app registration from the Whiteboard MCP template.
- User OAuth with Whiteboard scopes is the verified working path for
list_whiteboardsandget_a_whiteboard. - S2S OAuth can reach the Whiteboard MCP gateway and complete
tools/list, but tool execution must be validated separately for your app and Whiteboard scopes. - Practical rule: start with user OAuth for Whiteboard MCP unless you have already proven your S2S app can mint and execute with the required Whiteboard scopes.

Whiteboard ID Mapping

segment after /p/.

Older catalogs included update_a_whiteboard_metadata; it is not in the current official tool
catalog. Re-run tools/list before attempting metadata updates.
