Connect Miro to your AI client once. From then on, your agent can see everything on your boards and write summaries for you.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI read my Miro boards?

Yes. Your AI uses this MCP to pull all text, shapes, and items from a specific board. It then processes that data to give you a structured text summary. You get a clear breakdown of your visual workspace without manual typing.

The outcomes

What you get from your board data

The AI turns visual objects into organized text.

TEXT

Clean text lists

The AI pulls text from sticky notes and text boxes. You get a readable list of all the ideas written on the board.

STRUCTURE

Shape and layout maps

It identifies shapes and their contents. This helps you understand how different ideas are grouped or connected.

ACTION

Task extraction

The AI finds action items hidden in your brainstorm. It pulls these out so you can move them into a task manager.

HUMAN

Review and refine

The AI provides the raw summary. You decide which parts are actually useful and how to apply them to your project.

The workflow

What your AI does when the board arrives.

The AI moves from seeing the board to understanding its contents.

  1. Scan the board

    The AI first identifies every single object present on the Miro board.

    list_board_items

  2. Read item details

    It looks at each specific shape or text box to pull out the actual words and data.

    get_board_item

  3. Organize data

    The agent groups the text and shapes into logical categories based on your instructions.

    get_board_item

  4. Write summary

    The AI converts the organized data into the final text format you requested.

    get_board_item
