Diagram Generation

Create flowcharts and sequence diagrams from Mermaid syntax:

Flowchart:

flowchart TB
    A[Start] --> B{Decision}
    B -->|Yes| C[Success]
    B -->|No| D[Retry]
    D --> B

Sequence Diagram:

sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob!
    Bob-->>Alice: Hi Alice!

Supported: flowchart/graph, sequenceDiagram, directions (TB/LR/BT/RL), shapes ([] rectangle, {} diamond, (()) circle), labeled edges.

Official vs Community

Miro released their official MCP server in February 2026. Here's how they compare:

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 (88 vs 15 tools), 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

See PERFORMANCE.md for optimization tips and benchmarks.

Docker Deployment

Quick start:

# Using Docker Compose
export MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token
docker compose up -d

# Or build and run manually
docker build -t miro-mcp-server .
docker run -e MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxx -p 8080:8080 miro-mcp-server

docker-compose.yml features:

  • Health checks configured
  • Resource limits template
  • Environment variable passthrough

Debugging with MCP Inspector

Test and debug the server interactively with MCP Inspector:

# Install and run (no setup required)
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector miro-mcp-server

# With environment variables
MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector miro-mcp-server

Open http://localhost:6274 to:

  • Browse all 88 tools with their schemas
  • Test tool calls interactively
  • View raw JSON-RPC messages
  • Debug parameter validation

See SETUP.md for more debugging options.
