Miro MCP Server

Run your Miro workshops, retros, and planning sessions from the command line. Read boards, create stickies, organize frames, and generate diagrams through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Quick Start

1. Install

Homebrew (macOS/Linux):

bash

brew tap olgasafonova/tap && brew install miro-mcp-server

bash

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olgasafonova/miro-mcp-server/main/install.sh | sh

Docker:

bash

docker pull ghcr.io/olgasafonova/miro-mcp-server:latest

Manual download: See SETUP.md for all platforms

2. Get a Miro Token

Go to miro.com/app/settings/user-profile/apps
Create an app with boards:read and boards:write permissions
Install to your team and copy the token

3. Configure Your AI Tool

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:

bash

brew install olgasafonova/tap/miro-cli
# or
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. Six 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 92-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 (92 tools) costs roughly 15.5K tokens of preload — about 7.8% of a 200K Claude context. For sessions where that footprint matters, set MIRO_TOOLS_PROFILE=essentials in your client config; the server then registers a curated 15-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.)	% of 200K context
`full` (default)	92	~15,500	7.8%
`essentials`	15	~2,400	1.2%

Savings: ~13,100 tokens (84.5% 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.

See CONFIG.md for the full env-var reference.

Official vs Community

Miro released their official MCP server in December 2025. Here's how they compare:

Feature	This Server	Official Miro MCP
Last changelog entry	April 2026	January 2026
Tools	92 (or 15 in `essentials` profile)	13
Transport	stdio + HTTP	HTTPS only (hosted)
Self-hosting	Yes	No
Offline mode	Yes	No
Auth	Token + OAuth2	OAuth 2.1 (admin approval)
Diagram generation	Mermaid syntax	Custom DSL (flowchart, UML, ER)
AI context	No	Yes (exploration, summaries, code workflows)
Bulk operations	Yes	No
Mindmaps	Yes	No
Tags & Groups	Yes	No
Connectors CRUD	Yes	No
Export	Yes (PDF/SVG)	No
MCP Resources	3	No
MCP Prompts	5 workflows	2 (code-focused)
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

When to use the official server: You want zero-setup via plugin marketplace, OAuth 2.1 enterprise security, AI-powered board context extraction, or code-to-board workflows.

When to use this server: You need full API coverage (92 vs 13 tools, or a tunable 15-tool essentials mode), offline/self-hosted operation, bulk ops, mindmaps, tags, connectors, export, or a lightweight binary.

Both can coexist — use different MCP server names in your config.

Performance

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)

See PERFORMANCE.md for optimization tips and benchmarks.
