Official vs Community

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

Feature This Server Official Miro MCP
Last updated February 2026 February 2026
Tools 88 15 (13 tools + 2 prompts)
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 TypeScript (hosted)
Rate limiting Adaptive N/A (hosted)
Caching Built-in (2min TTL) N/A
Metrics Prometheus 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 (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.

HTTP Mode Endpoints

When running with -http :8080:

Endpoint Description
/ MCP protocol (Streamable HTTP)
/health Health check (JSON)
/health?deep=true Deep health check (tests Miro API)
/metrics Prometheus metrics

Health check response:

{
  "status": "healthy",
  "server": "miro-mcp-server",
  "version": "1.14.1",
  "uptime": "2h30m",
  "components": {
    "config": {"status": "healthy"},
    "miro_api": {"status": "healthy", "latency": "145ms"}

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.
