Miro Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Miro whiteboard operations through Composio's Miro toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

Active Miro connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit miro

Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds

Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit miro

If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Miro OAuth

Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. List and Browse Boards

When to use: User wants to find boards or get board details

Tool sequence:

MIRO_GET_BOARDS2 - List all accessible boards [Required]

MIRO_GET_BOARD - Get detailed info for a specific board [Optional]

Key parameters:

query: Search term to filter boards by name

sort: Sort by 'default', 'last_modified', 'last_opened', 'last_created', 'alphabetically'

limit: Number of results per page (max 50)

offset: Pagination offset

board_id: Specific board ID for detailed retrieval

Pitfalls:

Pagination uses offset-based approach, not cursor-based

Maximum 50 boards per page; iterate with offset for full list

Board IDs are long alphanumeric strings; always resolve by search first

2. Create Boards and Items

When to use: User wants to create a new board or add items to an existing board

Tool sequence:

MIRO_CREATE_BOARD - Create a new empty board [Optional]

MIRO_CREATE_STICKY_NOTE_ITEM - Add sticky notes to a board [Optional]

MIRO_CREATE_FRAME_ITEM2 - Add frames to organize content [Optional]

MIRO_CREATE_ITEMS_IN_BULK - Add multiple items at once [Optional]

Key parameters:

name / description: Board name and description (for CREATE_BOARD)

board_id: Target board ID (required for all item creation)

data: Content object with content field for sticky note text

style: Styling object with fillColor for sticky note color

position: Object with x and y coordinates

geometry: Object with width and height

Pitfalls:

board_id is required for ALL item operations; resolve via GET_BOARDS2 first

Sticky note colors use hex codes (e.g., '#FF0000') in the fillColor field

Position coordinates use the board's coordinate system (origin at center)

BULK create has a maximum items-per-request limit; check current schema

Frame items require geometry with both width and height

3. Browse and Manage Board Items

When to use: User wants to view, find, or organize items on a board

Tool sequence:

MIRO_GET_BOARD_ITEMS - List all items on a board [Required]

MIRO_GET_CONNECTORS2 - List connections between items [Optional]

Key parameters:

board_id: Target board ID (required)

type: Filter by item type ('sticky_note', 'shape', 'text', 'frame', 'image', 'card')

limit: Number of items per page

cursor: Pagination cursor from previous response

Pitfalls:

Results are paginated; follow cursor until absent for complete item list

Item types must match Miro's predefined types exactly

Large boards may have thousands of items; use type filtering to narrow results

Connectors are separate from items; use GET_CONNECTORS2 for relationship data

4. Share and Collaborate on Boards

When to use: User wants to share a board with team members or manage access

Tool sequence:

MIRO_GET_BOARDS2 - Find the board to share [Prerequisite]

MIRO_SHARE_BOARD - Share the board with users [Required]

MIRO_GET_BOARD_MEMBERS - Verify current board members [Optional]

Key parameters:

board_id: Board to share (required)

emails: Array of email addresses to invite

role: Access level ('viewer', 'commenter', 'editor')

message: Optional invitation message

Pitfalls:

Email addresses must be valid; invalid emails cause the entire request to fail

Role must be one of the predefined values; case-sensitive

Sharing with users outside the organization may require admin approval

GET_BOARD_MEMBERS returns all members including the owner

5. Create Visual Connections

When to use: User wants to connect items on a board with lines or arrows

Tool sequence:

MIRO_GET_BOARD_ITEMS - Find items to connect [Prerequisite]

MIRO_GET_CONNECTORS2 - View existing connections [Optional]

Key parameters:

board_id: Target board ID

startItem: Object with id of the source item

endItem: Object with id of the target item

style: Connector style (line type, color, arrows)

Pitfalls:

Both start and end items must exist on the same board

Item IDs are required for connections; resolve via GET_BOARD_ITEMS first

Connector styles vary; check available options in schema

Self-referencing connections (same start and end) are not allowed

Common Patterns

ID Resolution

Board name -> Board ID:

1. Call MIRO_GET_BOARDS2 with query=board_name
Find board by name in results

Extract id field

Item lookup on board:

1. Call MIRO_GET_BOARD_ITEMS with board_id and optional type filter
Find item by content or position

Extract item id for further operations

Pagination

Boards: Use offset and limit (offset-based)

Board items: Use cursor and limit (cursor-based)

Continue until no more results or cursor is absent

Default page sizes vary by endpoint

Coordinate System

Board origin (0,0) is at the center

Positive X is right, positive Y is down

Items positioned by their center point

Use position: {x: 0, y: 0} for center of board

Frames define bounded areas; items inside inherit frame position

Known Pitfalls

Board IDs:

Board IDs are required for virtually all operations

Always resolve board names to IDs via GET_BOARDS2 first

Do not hardcode board IDs; they vary by account

Item Creation:

Each item type has different required fields

Sticky notes need data.content for text

Frames need geometry.width and geometry.height

Position defaults to (0,0) if not specified; items may overlap

Rate Limits:

Miro API has rate limits per token

Bulk operations preferred over individual item creation

Use MIRO_CREATE_ITEMS_IN_BULK for multiple items

Response Parsing:

Response data may be nested under data key

Item types determine which fields are present in response

Parse defensively; optional fields may be absent
