How do I get a Miro Access Token?

Go to [**Miro Developer Portal**](https://developers.miro.com/), create an app, and generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) or set up OAuth 2.0. PATs are simpler for personal use — go to your app settings and create a token under 'Personal Access Tokens'. Copy it immediately as it won't be shown again.

Can I create sticky notes programmatically?

Yes! Use `create_sticky_note` with the board ID and content text. Optionally set x,y coordinates on the canvas for precise positioning. The sticky note will appear on the board immediately and all collaborators will see it in real-time.

Can I manage board members via the API?

Yes! Use `list_board_members` to see who has access and their roles, and `add_board_member` to grant access to new users with a specific role (owner, admin, editor, commenter, viewer). The user must already have a Miro account.

Can I filter board items by type?

Yes! Use `list_board_items` with the type parameter to filter by: sticky_note, card, shape, text, connector, image, embed, frame, document, or mind_map. This is useful for finding specific widget types without loading all board content.

Miro + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Miro MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully — if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL — Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
