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 + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Miro MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
