How do I use Miro MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Miro MCP Server create a new brainstorming board and add three yellow sticky notes" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

⚠️ Important API Limitations & Best Practices

Based on extensive testing with the Miro API v2, please note these critical requirements:

🎨 Content Creation Requirements

Text Items: Only support width in geometry, height is NOT supported by Miro API
Sticky Notes & Tags: Must use predefined color names (e.g., "yellow", "red", "blue"), NOT hex codes
Connectors: Both start and end items MUST exist on the board before creating connectors

📊 API Limits

Bulk Operations: Maximum 20 items per request (create/update/delete)
Board Items: Minimum limit is 10 when using get_board_items with limit parameter
Rate Limiting: Miro API has rate limits - consider delays for large operations

🔍 Working with Items

Item IDs: Always obtain item IDs from get_board_items or item creation responses
Connectors: Require existing item IDs - use get_board_items to find valid item IDs first
Tags: Use predefined color names from the enum lists in tool descriptions

📍 Positioning

Coordinates: Use x, y coordinates for precise placement (pixels from board center)
Origins: Default origin is "center" - items are positioned from their center point

Authentication

Obtain a Miro OAuth token from your Miro app and provide it via:

Environment Variable

export MIRO_OAUTH_TOKEN="your_token_here"

Command Line

miro-mcp --token "your_token_here"

Usage

Examples

Creating a Project Board

Create frames for organization await createFrame({ boardId: "board_id", title: "Backlog", x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 600 }); // 3. Add task cards await createCard({ boardId: "board_id", title: "User Authentication", description: "Implement OAuth2 login flow", x: 50, y: 50 }); // 4. Connect related items await createConnector({ boardId: "board_id", startItemId: "item1", endItemId: "item2", caption: "depends on" }); // 5. Share with team await shareBoardWithUser({ boardId: "board_id", email: "team@company.com", role: "editor" });

Creating a Mind Map

// 1. Central topic await createStickyNote({ boardId: "board_id", content: "Main Topic", color: "yellow", x: 0, y: 0 }); // 2. Branch topics const branches = ["Idea 1", "Idea 2", "Idea 3"]; for (let i = 0; i < branches.length; i++) { const item = await createStickyNote({ boardId: "board_id", content: branches[i], color: "light_blue", x: Math.cos(i * 2 * Math.PI / 3) * 200, y: Math.sin(i * 2 * Math.PI / 3) * 200 }); await createConnector({ boardId: "board_id", startItemId: "central_item_id", endItemId: item.id }); } // 3. Add tags for categorization await createTag({ boardId: "board_id", title: "Priority High", fillColor: "#ff0000" });

Bulk Content Creation

// Create multiple items efficiently (up to 20 items) // Note: Implemented via sequential API calls for reliability await bulkCreateItems({ boardId: "board_id", items: [ { type: "sticky_note", data: { content: "Task 1" }, style: { fillColor: "yellow" }, position: { x: 0, y: 0 } }, { type: "sticky_note", data: { content: "Task 2" }, style: { fillColor: "pink" }, position: { x: 100, y: 0 } }, { type: "shape", data: { shape: "rectangle", content: "Process" }, position: { x: 200, y: 0 }, geometry: { width: 150, height: 100 } } ] }); // Update multiple items at once await bulkUpdateItems({ boardId: "board_id", updates: [ { id: "item_id_1", data: { data: { content: "Updated Task 1" }, style: { fillColor: "green" } } }, { id: "item_id_2", data: { data: { content: "Updated Task 2" }, style: { fillColor: "blue" } } } ] }); // Delete multiple items at once await bulkDeleteItems({ boardId: "board_id", itemIds: ["item_id_1", "item_id_2", "item_id_3"] });
