Miro MCP server

The MIRO Whiteboard MCP Server allows you to connect Claude to MIRO whiteboard applications, enabling board manipulation, sticky creation, bulk operations, and more. Simply provide your OAuth key as an environment variable or using the "--token" argument to get started.

1. Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file:

   • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the server configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-miro": {
      "command": "/path/to/node-or-npx",
      "arguments": [
        "/path/to/mcp-miro/build/index.js",

Features and Usage

Available Resources

• Board Contents: Access and read information from MIRO boards

Tool Capabilities

• Create Elements: Add stickies and shapes to your boards
• Read Board Data: Access frames, contents, and other board elements
• Bulk Operations: Create multiple items at once

Usage Tips

• Taking a photo of physical sticky notes and asking Claude to recreate them in MIRO works exceptionally well
• Claude can understand board coordinates and spatial relationships when manipulating elements

Board Manipulation

The server provides various commands to interact with MIRO boards. Claude will automatically use the appropriate commands based on your requests to:

• Create new elements
• Organize content

When working with the MIRO connector, simply describe what you want to accomplish in natural language, and Claude will leverage the available tools to execute your requests.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
