How to Use the Miro MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Cascade read existing Miro items to help me code in Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade uses listboarditems to pull text and context directly from your visual boards. It reads the requirements your product manager left on stickies and translates them into functional code blocks.

Let Windsurf and its Cascade agent build, read, and manage your Miro boards directly during your coding sessions.

Auto-generate Miro boards from code structure

Visualizing your system architecture becomes automatic when Cascade uses `create_board` to spin up a fresh Miro canvas. By scanning your local directory structure, the Windsurf agent maps out dependencies and instantly creates the Miro board without you lifting a finger. Once the Miro board exists, Cascade uses `create_sticky_note` to populate the canvas with your actual component names and connection lines. Dragging shapes manually becomes a thing of the past because the Windsurf agent handles the initial Miro layout while you focus on writing code.

Sync Windsurf tasks directly to visual stickies

Managing project tasks gets easier when Windsurf executes `create_sticky_note` via the MCP server based on your open files and TODO comments. Cascade sweeps through your current workspace, identifies pending refactors, and drops those tasks as stickies directly onto your team's shared Miro board. To prevent duplicate notes, the Windsurf agent uses `list_board_items` to check what tasks are already on the Miro canvas. Everyone stays aligned on what is actually in flight without requiring manual Miro status updates.

Map board collaborators using the Windsurf MCP Server

Tracking team access happens instantly when Cascade runs `list_board_members` to audit who has access to your Miro design files. The Windsurf agent pulls the complete list of collaborators directly into your IDE sidebar so you always know who is working on the assets. By combining this with `list_organizations`, Cascade maps your Miro workspace layout to your corporate structure in seconds. An immediate view of team alignment appears inside Windsurf without opening a browser tab.

Setup guide

Set up Miro MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Miro MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Miro payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Miro tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Miro MCP in Windsurf

Cascade talks directly to the Miro API through the server to perform actions on your behalf. You give Cascade a goal, like mapping out a database schema, and it chains tools like `create_board` and `create_sticky_note` in sequence.

Yes, Cascade uses `list_board_items` to pull text and context directly from your visual boards. It reads the requirements your product manager left on stickies and translates them into functional code blocks.

No, you configure your access token once in your MCP configuration file. Windsurf handles the authentication handshake behind the scenes so your agent can run tools instantly.

The tool runs immediately if Cascade determines that a board is no longer needed and you have authorized the action. You can restrict write or delete permissions in your configuration if you want to keep your boards safe.

Your board details and sticky note content remain inside your local runtime environment. Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your API tokens and board contents are never stored or exposed to external third parties.
