Overview
What is Miro Mcp Server?
A community-built MCP server that enables AI tools to control Miro whiteboards. It provides 76 tools via a single Go binary for speed and simplicity, supporting board and item management, diagram generation, mindmaps, tags, groups, connectors, and export.
How to use Miro Mcp Server?
Install via Homebrew, Docker, or a one-liner script. Obtain a Miro API token with boards:read and boards:write permissions. Configure your AI tool (e.g., Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) by passing the token as the MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable and running the miro-mcp-server binary.

FAQ from Miro Mcp Server
How does this server compare to Miro’s official MCP server?
This community server offers 76 tools (vs ~10 in the official beta), includes diagram generation, bulk operations, mindmaps, tags, groups, and export. It runs as a lightweight ~14MB Go binary with built‑in caching and rate limiting. The official server is best for basic, Miro‑supported operations.
What runtime dependencies are required?
No runtime dependencies are needed. The server is a single binary (~14MB) that does not require Node.js. It runs on macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Linux, and Windows.
Does it support diagram generation?
Yes. The server can create flowcharts and sequence diagrams from Mermaid syntax using the miro_generate_diagram tool. It supports standard flowchart directions (TB/LR/BT/RL), shapes (rectangle, diamond, circle), and labeled edges.
What performance optimizations are included?
The server features a 2‑minute cache to reduce API calls, adaptive rate limiting based on Miro’s headers, a circuit breaker to isolate failing endpoints, parallel bulk operations, and automatic retry for transient errors (502/503/504).
How do I obtain a Miro API token?
Create an app at miro.com/app/settings/user-profile/apps, grant boards:read and boards:write permissions, install it to your team, and copy the generated token. Use this as the MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.
