Are there limits on how often I can update the display?

Yes, TRMNL has rate limits to save battery: standard accounts get 12 pushes per hour, while TRMNL+ accounts get 30.

How do I send a custom message to my display?

Use the trmnl_push_webhook tool to send a title and body text. The display will update at its next scheduled refresh interval.

What can I do with the TRMNL skill in Claude Code?

You can push custom text to your display, change what screen is currently showing, manage your content rotation, and check your device's battery and connection status.

How is authentication handled for my TRMNL account?

You store your TRMNL API Key securely using the deep-env utility, allowing the MCP server to authenticate your requests safely.
