In short
padlet.com serves a 2.6 KB llms.txt with 5 H2 sections and 10 links, graded B on the llmstxt.org structure (5 of 6 checks). It lacks same-site links. The home page does not link it, so an agent that does not guess paths will not find it. No llms-full.txt was found. Read 4 November 2026.

## When to use Padlet
- Collecting contributions from many people into one shared place, where each
contribution can be any kind of media rather than plain text.
- Giving a person a visual artifact they will keep working in afterwards […] a
board is a live document, not a one-off render.
- Classroom work: an assignment students post into, a discussion board, a
collection of student work to review or grade.
- Not the right tool for structured records you will query later, for private
single-user note-taking, or for anything needing a schema.
## Interfaces
- [MCP server](https://mcp.padlet.com/): the primary interface for agents. Create
padlets, read and write posts, comment, manage collaborators and library
settings, all as a signed-in Padlet user over Streamable HTTP.
- [OpenAPI description](https://padlet.com/openapi.json): the REST API
at https://api.padlet.dev/v1, authenticated with an `x-api-key` header. Narrower
than MCP […] boards, posts, sections, comments, reactions, organizations […] and the
key is issued from developer settings by a paying user.
- [Agent skills](https://padlet.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json):
step-by-step instructions for common Padlet tasks, in skill-md form.
## Getting a credential
- [auth.md](https://padlet.com/auth.md): how to register an OAuth
client, get a user's authorization, and call the MCP server with the token.
Registration is open […] no account and no approval queue […] but every credential
is bound to a Padlet user who approves it in a browser.
- [REST API keys](https://docs.padlet.dev/reference/introduction): issued by a
paying user from Padlet's developer settings, not by any endpoint.
## Discovery
- [Capability manifest](https://padlet.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json):
every agent-facing document this origin serves, in one file.
- [MCP server card](https://padlet.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json)
- [API catalog](https://padlet.com/.well-known/api-catalog)
## Optional
- [Product documentation](https://padlet.helpdocs.io/): written for people using
Padlet in the browser.
- [REST API reference](https://docs.padlet.dev/reference/introduction): the same
operations as the OpenAPI document, with prose and examples.

Linking and the companion file
The home page of padlet.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. No llms-full.txt was found at the same root.
How it compares
At 2.6 KB the file is larger than 13 percent of the 2,529 plain-text llms.txt files in this edition, and its 10 links put it ahead of 20 percent of them on link count. The home page declares no generator. Size bucket: 2 to 10 KB. Tranco rank 2,732. Category: Education.
