Miro Board Management

Trigger

Working with Miro whiteboards: creating boards, adding content, building diagrams, or running collaborative workflows like sprint planning or retrospectives.

Workflow

1. Discover boards — Call miro_list_boards or miro_find_board to get the target board ID. Every subsequent operation needs a board ID.

1. Read existing content — Use miro_get_board for an overview, miro_list_items or miro_list_all_items for specific content, or miro_search_board to find items by text.

1. Create items — Use the appropriate creation tool:

• miro_create_sticky for sticky notes (colors: yellow, green, blue, pink, orange, red, gray, cyan, purple)
• miro_create_shape for shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle, rhombus, star, hexagon)
• miro_create_text for text labels
• miro_create_frame for grouping sections
• miro_create_connector to connect items (requires source and target item IDs)
• miro_create_card for structured cards with descriptions
• miro_create_mindmap_node for mindmap branches
• miro_bulk_create when adding multiple items at once

1. Connect items — Save item IDs from creation responses. Use miro_create_connector with start and end item IDs.

1. Organize — Use miro_create_frame to group related items, miro_create_group to lock items together, or miro_attach_tag to categorize.

Workflow Templates

Sprint Board

Create a frame for each column (Backlog, In Progress, Review, Done), then add stickies for tasks.

Retrospective

Create three sections with colored stickies:

• Green: What went well
• Pink: What could improve
• Blue: Action items

Brainstorming

Create a central topic shape, then radiate stickies outward. Use connectors to show relationships.

Mermaid Diagrams

Use miro_generate_diagram to convert Mermaid syntax into visual diagrams on the board. Supports flowcharts and sequence diagrams.

Guardrails

• Always start with miro_list_boards to get board IDs; never guess or hardcode them.
• Save returned item IDs for subsequent connection and update operations.
• Use miro_bulk_create for 3+ items instead of individual create calls.
• Keep confirmations short: "Added 3 stickies to Sprint Board" not lengthy descriptions.
• When updating items, read the current state first with miro_get_item.
