Why This Server?
| Feature | This Server | TypeScript alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Single binary | Requires Node.js |
| Size | ~14MB | 100MB+ with node_modules |
| Startup | ~50ms | 500ms-2s |
| Memory | ~10MB idle | ~50MB idle |
| Diagram generation | Built-in Mermaid parser | AI-based |
| Rate limiting | Automatic with backoff | Manual |
| Caching | 2-minute TTL | None |
| Circuit breaker | Yes | No |
Official vs Community
Miro released their official MCP server in February 2026. Here's how they compare:
| Feature | This Server | Official Miro MCP |
|---|---|---|
| Last updated | February 2026 | February 2026 |
| Tools | 88 | 15 (13 tools + 2 prompts) |
| Transport | stdio + HTTP | HTTPS only (hosted) |
| Self-hosting | Yes | No |
| Offline mode | Yes | No |
| Auth | Token + OAuth2 | OAuth 2.1 (admin approval) |
| Diagram generation | Mermaid syntax | Custom DSL (flowchart, UML, ER) |
| AI context | No | Yes (exploration, summaries, code workflows) |
| Bulk operations | Yes | No |
| Mindmaps | Yes | No |
| Tags & Groups | Yes | No |
| Connectors CRUD | Yes | No |
| Export | Yes (PDF/SVG) | No |
| MCP Resources | 3 | No |
| MCP Prompts | 5 workflows | 2 (code-focused) |
| Runtime | Single Go binary | TypeScript (hosted) |
| Rate limiting | Adaptive | N/A (hosted) |
| Caching | Built-in (2min TTL) | N/A |
| Metrics | Prometheus | No |
When to use the official server: You want zero-setup via plugin marketplace, OAuth 2.1 enterprise security, AI-powered board context extraction, or code-to-board workflows.
When to use this server: You need full API coverage (88 vs 15 tools), offline/self-hosted operation, bulk ops, mindmaps, tags, connectors, export, or a lightweight binary.
Both can coexist — use different MCP server names in your config.
Performance
- Caching: 2-minute TTL reduces API calls
- Rate limiting: Adapts to Miro's rate limit headers
- Circuit breaker: Isolates failing endpoints
- Parallel bulk ops: Creates items concurrently
- Token validation: Fails fast on startup with clear error
- Transient error retry: Auto-retries 502/503/504 with backoff
See PERFORMANCE.md for optimization tips and benchmarks.
HTTP Mode Endpoints
When running with -http :8080:

Debugging with MCP Inspector
Test and debug the server interactively with MCP Inspector:
# Install and run (no setup required)
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector miro-mcp-server
# With environment variables
MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector miro-mcp-server
Open http://localhost:6274 to:
- Browse all 88 tools with their schemas
- Test tool calls interactively
- View raw JSON-RPC messages
- Debug parameter validation
