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.

Why Use Cursor with the Miro MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Miro through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP — no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Miro + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Miro MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Miro + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Miro MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design — tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
