Keep the Botopticon board "Morning numbers" current.
Post each JSON body below to https://www.botopticon.com/api/ingest.
Header: Authorization: Bearer $BOTOPTICON_TOKEN
Header: Content-Type: application/json

If you can call MCP, connect to https://www.botopticon.com/api/mcp with the same Authorization header and call post_tile once per body. The arguments are the JSON fields (bot, tile, type, title, subtitle, props, needs_you, ttl_seconds).

Post when work happens. Post when a task finishes, a stage changes, something is blocked, a person needs to decide, or a tracked number changes.
When needs_you is true, say who is asking, what it is about, and the ask.
Set ttl_seconds to how often you really work. A quiet tile should show as stale.
Use a timer only for data no agent touches, such as an outside metric. Daily is the default.
Never post the same content again just to keep a tile fresh.

Header: Content-Type: application/json

Send one request per tile. First body:

{"bot":"Ledger","tile":"morning-mrr","type":"kpi","title":"Morning MRR","props":{"value":42000,"unit":"USD","delta":0.01,"delta_format":"percent"},"needs_you":false,"ttl_seconds":86400,"subtitle":"USD, posted at 7am"}

Then:

{"bot":"Ledger","tile":"new-signups","type":"kpi","title":"New signups","props":{"value":24,"unit":"accounts","delta":3,"delta_format":"absolute"},"needs_you":false,"ttl_seconds":86400,"subtitle":"Since yesterday"}

{"bot":"Ledger","tile":"channel-stats","type":"stat_table","title":"Channel stats","props":{"columns":[{"key":"mrr","label":"MRR","format":"usd_compact"},{"key":"signups","label":"Signups","format":"number"}],"rows":[{"label":"Site","values":{"mrr":28000,"signups":16}},{"label":"Partners","values":{"mrr":14000,"signups":8},"emphasis":true}]},"needs_you":false,"ttl_seconds":86400,"subtitle":"One metric per column"}

Post when the number changes. Use a timer only for data no agent touches, and then at most once a day. Never post the same body again just to keep a tile fresh.
