# List boards

> List accessible boards alphabetically. Results are bounded; use returned pagination cursor when present.

Read access: a read-enabled personal or team REST API key, or a signed-in user. OAuth clients use the corresponding MCP tool through /mcp.

List accessible boards alphabetically. Results are bounded; use returned pagination cursor when present.

Boards sort by case-insensitive name, exact name and UUID. Cursors bind the accessible directory and revision; restart on 409 `board_list_changed`. Historical creators can be null.

MCP clients can use [`list_boards`](https://www.mill.fyi/mcp-reference/list_boards) for this operation.
