Getting Started

Get streamboard running in under 5 minutes. You’ll connect an MCP client, create your first cards through an AI conversation, and review them on the web streamboard.

1. Create an account

Section titled “1. Create an account”

Sign up at the login page with GitHub. No credit card required — you get a 7-day free trial with all features.

2. Connect your AI tools

Section titled “2. Connect your AI tools”

There are two ways to connect streamboard to your AI tools:

CLI + agent skills

Section titled “CLI + agent skills”

Install agent skills with a single command — works with Claude Code, Codex, and any tool that supports agent skills:

Terminal window
npx streamboard skill install

This gives you slash commands like /streamboard:review, /streamboard:create-deck, and /streamboard:generate-cards. See the Claude Code integration for the full list.

MCP server

Section titled “MCP server”

For clients that support MCP natively, connect directly to the streamboard MCP server:

  • Claude Desktop — add as a custom connector in settings
  • Cursor — add to .cursor/mcp.json
  • Gemini CLI — add to .gemini/settings.json
  • ChatGPT — set up as a Custom GPT Action
  • Any MCP client — point it at https://mcp.usestreamboard.com/mcp

3. Create your first cards

Section titled “3. Create your first cards”

Once connected, just ask your AI assistant to learn something and save it:

> explain how OAuth 2.0 PKCE works
> save that to streamboard

Your AI generates clean, atomic flashcards — front, back, and tags — and saves them to a deck automatically.

4. Review on the web

Section titled “4. Review on the web”

Head to the streamboard to review your due cards. Cards are scheduled using the Leitner box system — you’ll see cards you struggle with more often, while ones you know well space out over days and weeks.
