Companion Skill: miro-workflow
For Claude clients that support skills (Claude Code, Claude Desktop), this repo includes a miro-workflow skill that describes how to assemble a few common board layouts from the atomic create-item tools.
Five layouts are covered:
| Workflow | Trigger phrase examples |
|---|
| Sprint Board | "set up a sprint board for sprint 42" |
| Retrospective | "create a retro board for our team" |
| Brainstorm | "brainstorm board for [topic]" |
| Story Map | "map the user journey for [product]" |
| Kanban | "kanban for our backlog" |
Each one specifies frame sizes, gap math, sticky placement, color conventions (the Miro API takes hex for frame fills and named values for stickies; two different vocabularies), and the tool-call order to follow. For single-tool calls ("add one sticky") or read-only inspection, the atomic tools are usually enough on their own.
The skill is new and likely needs adjustment as more layouts get exercised against real boards. Files live under skills/miro-workflow/. Claude Code auto-discovers skills from ~/Projects/claude-code-config/skills/; for other hosts, follow your client's skill installation docs.
The badge above is awarded by SkillCheck Pro; this skill currently scores 92/100 with zero Critical issues and zero Warnings. Skills in this repo earn the badge at ≥90/100 with zero Critical and zero Warnings; below that bar, the badge is dropped until the skill passes again.
Companion CLI: miro-cli
For shell-first usage, this server has a sibling: miro-cli. Same author, same Miro API coverage, different runtime. One verb per endpoint, JSON in and out, plus a local SQLite mirror for offline search. Reach for it when you're scripting Miro in CI, bulk-migrating stickies between boards, or querying boards offline without burning API quota.
The MCP server and the CLI overlap deliberately. Use the MCP server when an agent runtime is in the loop (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor). Use the CLI when bash, Makefiles, or CI are. Use both if you want.
Install:
brew install olgasafonova/tap/miro-cli
go install github.com/olgasafonova/miro-cli/cmd/miro-cli@latest
Companion MCP Apps server: miro-mcp-apps
If you want Miro data to render as interactive UI in the chat (cards, tables, color clusters, SVG graphs) instead of streamed JSON, there's a TypeScript sibling: miro-mcp-apps. Eleven tools built on the MCP Apps extension (SEP-1865), reusing the same MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN. The two servers run side-by-side: this one for the 110-tool CRUD surface, that one for visual at-a-glance views.
| You want… | Use |
|---|
| Programmatic control: create/update/move/connect items, generate diagrams | miro-mcp-server (this repo) |
| Visual board summaries, sticky color clusters, connector graphs rendered inline | miro-mcp-apps |
| Same in bash, CI, or a Makefile | miro-cli |
The MCP Apps pattern is TypeScript-only today (Go SDK has no ext-apps helpers), which is why this companion lives in a separate repo instead of bolting onto the Go server.
Token Efficiency
The full tool surface (110 tools) costs roughly 20.8K tokens of preload; the essentials profile trims that to ~2.8K. For sessions where that footprint matters, set MIRO_TOOLS_PROFILE=essentials in your client config; the server then registers a curated 14-tool subset (boards, list/find/search, sticky/text/frame/connector creation, list/get/update/delete items) plus one discovery meta-tool. Agents reach the rest via miro_tool_search on demand.
| Profile | Tools | Preload tokens (est.) |
|---|
full (default) | 110 | ~20,795 |
essentials | 15 | ~2,848 |
Savings: ~17,760 tokens (86.2% reduction) when you opt into essentials. Description tokens are exact (JSON-marshaled); schema cost is estimated at 200 bytes per tool. Reproduce locally with go run ./cmd/token-count/.
miro_tool_search(query?, category?, limit?) is registered in both profiles. It searches tool names, titles, descriptions, and categories with weighted keyword scoring (name 3×, title 2×, category 2.5×, description 1×), returns up to 50 matches, and never recommends itself. Use it when you don't know which tool to reach for, or to scope to a category before browsing. Empty query plus a category returns the category's tools alphabetically.

Miro released their official MCP server in December 2025 and has grown it substantially since. Comparison refreshed 18-09-2026 by enumerating the 45 tools the hosted server actually registers at mcp.miro.com, rather than counting the documented set — the docs lag the deployment in both directions, and the surface moves fast enough that a count is perishable: 65 on 13-08-2026, 63 on 18-08, 61 on 09-09, 45 on 18-09.
The September drop is a consolidation rather than attrition. Every one of the sixteen removed tools is a content read or write path superseded by the canvas_* family — board_list_items, board_show, context_explore, context_get, all three diagram_*, all three doc_*, all four layout_* — and the server's own connection instructions now lead with Canvas Composer SVG as "Miro's unified interaction/representation protocol for the canvas". The 09-09 pass saw it coming: layout_* were still registered but already self-describing as deprecated in favour of canvas. Earlier churn: board_trash and space_delete, present on 17-08-2026, were gone the next day, leaving the surface with no hard-destructive verbs; all five code_widget_* tools present on 18-08 were gone by 09-09, while canvas_search, canvas_load_format_skill and content_item_list_roles arrived. Recent additions come from their changelogs on new MCP tools and code widget endpoints.
| Feature | This Server | Official Miro MCP |
|---|
| Tools | 110 (or 15 in essentials profile) | 45 |
| Transport | stdio + HTTP | HTTPS only (hosted at mcp.miro.com) |
| Self-hosting | Yes | No |
| Offline mode | Yes | No |
| Auth | Token + OAuth2 | OAuth 2.1, dynamic client registration (Enterprise orgs need admin enablement) |
| Board list metadata | id, owner, team, created/modified timestamps | name and URL |
| Diagram generation | Mermaid, parsed locally; native diagram items readable via miro_list_diagrams/miro_get_diagram | None since 18-09-2026 (diagram_create_mermaid, diagram_update_mermaid and diagram_get_mermaid_instructions removed; diagrams now go through the canvas SVG tools) |
| AI context | No | None since 18-09-2026 (context_explore and context_get removed) |
| Layout DSL | Composed from bulk create + the miro-workflow skill | None since 18-09-2026 — all four layout_* tools removed, having self-described as deprecated in favour of the canvas tools on 09-09 |
| Canvas as SVG | Read + create + update (data-miro-id diff; local geometry transform; spatial approximation). Reads scope to a single frame via frame_id, and read output is directly re-submittable to the update tool | Yes (read, create, update from SVG). Reads scope to a rectangle or a widget_ids list and refuse areas above 500 widgets; canvas_search (pattern and regex over the SVG) narrows the scope first. Read output is re-escaped, so it cannot be fed back to the update tool verbatim |
| Spaces & sections | No | Yes (10 tools) — workspace-level grouping of boards, not board content |
| Comments | Yes (create, list, get, reply, resolve; v2-experimental) | Yes (create, list, reply, resolve) |
| Prototypes | No | Yes (read, create, upload URL) |
| Code widgets | 6 tools incl. position move (v2-experimental) | None since 09-09-2026 (5 tools on 18-08-2026) |
| Docs & Tables | Doc formats + table read | Tables only (create/sync/history); all three doc_* tools removed 18-09-2026 |
| Images | Create, upload, update from file | Create, upload URL, get data/URL |
| Bulk operations | Yes | Partial (table_sync_rows upsert only) |
| Mindmaps | Yes | No |
| Tags & Groups | Yes | No |
| Connectors CRUD | Yes | No |
| Item-level CRUD | Yes (sticky, shape, text, card, image, document, embed, frame) | Canvas SVG, not per-item verbs |
| Board sharing / members | Yes (allowlist-gated) | Sharing, role updates and content_item_list_roles for the read side; no member CRUD |
| Export | Yes (PDF/SVG) | No |
| Current user | Derived from board owner | Yes (user_who_am_i) |
| MCP Resources | 3 | No |
| MCP Prompts | 5 workflows | Bundled agent skills (browse, code-review, diagram, doc, table) |
| Runtime | Single Go binary | Hosted (closed-source) |
| Rate limiting | Adaptive | N/A (hosted) |
| Caching | Built-in (2min TTL) | N/A |
| Metrics | Prometheus | No |
| OpenTelemetry | Built-in (mcp-otel-go, OTel Registry) | No |
Where the differences come from. Spaces, sections, canvas-SVG and prototypes have no endpoints in the public REST API v2 — checked 13-08-2026 against the 114-path OpenAPI spec tracked in api-tracking/, and re-checked by probing the live API, since the spec omits endpoints Miro does ship. Those run on Miro-internal APIs. The reverse also holds: mindmaps, tags, groups, connectors and export are public REST surfaces the official server has not wrapped.
Board context used to be a design difference rather than a gap, and as of 18-09-2026 it is neither: context_get returned a server-side AI summary of a board and has been removed along with context_explore. miro_get_board_content returns the structured content itself — items by type, frame hierarchy, connectors and tags — and lets the model already in your session do the summarizing, with no second inference hop.
When to use the official server: You want zero-setup via plugin marketplace, OAuth 2.1 enterprise security, spaces and sections, comments, or SVG/prototype workflows. Board context extraction is no longer among them — those tools were removed on 18-09-2026.
When to use this server: You need full REST coverage (110 tools, or a tunable 15-tool essentials mode), offline/self-hosted operation, richer board listing metadata, bulk ops, mindmaps, tags, connectors, or export.
Both can coexist — use different MCP server names in your config.
- Caching: 2-minute TTL reduces API calls
- Rate limiting: Adapts to Miro's rate limit headers
- Circuit breaker: Isolates failing endpoints
- Parallel bulk ops: Creates items concurrently
- Token validation: Fails fast on startup with clear error
- Transient error retry: Auto-retries 502/503/504 with backoff
- OpenTelemetry: Built-in tracing and metrics via mcp-otel-go (OTel Registry)

Four tools need an Enterprise plan and fail with a hint saying so: the three PDF/SVG export tools (miro_create_export_job, miro_get_export_job_status, miro_get_export_job_results) and miro_get_org_audit_logs, which additionally needs the auditlogs:read scope. miro_get_board_picture works on every plan. Everything else works on any plan.
The 6 code widget tools and 5 comment tools use Miro's v2-experimental API; availability may vary by account or plan, and the endpoints may change before GA.
