Usage

Running the MCP Server

The MCP server communicates via stdio using JSON-RPC protocol. To run it:

python server.py

Authentication

Before using the MCP server to interact with Miro boards, you need to authenticate and obtain an access token:

Step 1: Get Authorization URL

Call the get_auth_url tool to retrieve the OAuth authorization URL:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_auth_url",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

The response will contain an auth_url that you need to visit in your browser.

Step 2: Authorize the Application

1. Copy the auth_url from the response

2. Open it in your web browser

3. Log in to your Miro account

4. Review and approve the permissions requested by the application

5. After authorization, Miro will redirect you to the callback URL specified in your configuration

Step 3: Extract the Authorization Code

After authorization, Miro redirects to your callback URL with a code parameter in the query string. The URL will look like:

http://localhost:8080/callback?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE_HERE

Extract the code value from the URL (everything after code=).

Step 4: Exchange Code for Access Token

Use the exchange_auth_code tool with the authorization code to complete authentication:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "exchange_auth_code",
    "arguments": {
      "code": "AUTHORIZATION_CODE_HERE"
    }
  }
}

Example MCP Client Configuration

For use with MCP-compatible clients, configure the server as follows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "miro": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/miro-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "MIRO_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "MIRO_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
        "MIRO_REDIRECT_URL": "http://localhost:8080/callback"
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Tool Calls

Here are some example JSON-RPC requests:

List available tools:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Get board information:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_board",
    "arguments": {
      "board_id": "your_board_id"
    }
  }
}
