Use when editing an open Paper board through the local Paper MCP server at http://127.0.0.1:29979/mcp. Prefer this over Computer Use for Paper canvas reads/writes, image placement, HTML writes, node inspection, screenshots, and exports.

SKILL.md

Paper MCP

Use this skill for direct Paper board work. The local Paper desktop app exposes an MCP server at:

bash
http://127.0.0.1:29979/mcp

The reusable CLI wrapper is:

bash
/Users/rileybrown/.codex/tools/paper_mcp.py

Required Workflow

  1. Load the Paper guide once per session:
bash
/Users/rileybrown/.codex/tools/paper_mcp.py call get_guide '{"topic":"paper-mcp-instructions"}'
  1. Inspect the current board:
bash
/Users/rileybrown/.codex/tools/paper_mcp.py call get_basic_info '{}'
/Users/rileybrown/.codex/tools/paper_mcp.py call get_selection '{}'
  1. For image placement, use write_html with absolute local image paths through paper-asset://:
bash
/Users/rileybrown/.codex/tools/paper_mcp.py call write_html '{"targetNodeId":"root_node_1-0","mode":"insert-children","html":"<img layer-name=\"Example\" src=\"paper-asset:///absolute/path/image.jpg\" style=\"position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:320px; height:180px; object-fit:cover;\" />"}'
  1. Verify meaningful changes with get_screenshot.
  1. Always finish:
bash
/Users/rileybrown/.codex/tools/paper_mcp.py call finish_working_on_nodes '{}'

Notes

  • Do not use Computer Use for Paper board edits when this MCP server is reachable.
  • Do not expose raw node IDs in final user-facing replies.
  • Deleting Paper nodes changes board data; confirm with the user immediately before deletion.
