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.
