Miro Board Management

Trigger

Working with Miro whiteboards: creating boards, adding content, building diagrams, or running collaborative workflows like sprint planning or retrospectives.

Workflow

1. Discover boards — Call mirolistboards or mirofindboard to get the target board ID. Every subsequent operation needs a board ID.

1. Read existing content — Use mirogetboard for an overview, mirolistitems or mirolistallitems for specific content, or mirosearch_board to find items by text.

1. Create items — Use the appropriate creation tool:

- mirocreatesticky for sticky notes (colors: yellow, green, blue, pink, orange, red, gray, cyan, purple) - mirocreateshape for shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle, rhombus, star, hexagon) - mirocreatetext for text labels - mirocreateframe for grouping sections - mirocreateconnector to connect items (requires source and target item IDs) - mirocreatecard for structured cards with descriptions - mirocreatemindmapnode for mindmap branches - mirobulk_create when adding multiple items at once

1. Connect items — Save item IDs from creation responses. Use mirocreateconnector with start and end item IDs.

1. Organize — Use mirocreateframe to group related items, mirocreategroup to lock items together, or miroattachtag to categorize.

Workflow Templates

Sprint Board

Create a frame for each column (Backlog, In Progress, Review, Done), then add stickies for tasks.

Retrospective

Create three sections with colored stickies:

• Green: What went well
• Pink: What could improve
• Blue: Action items

Brainstorming

Create a central topic shape, then radiate stickies outward. Use connectors to show relationships.

Mermaid Diagrams

Use mirogeneratediagram to convert Mermaid syntax into visual diagrams on the board. Supports flowcharts and sequence diagrams.

Guardrails

• Always start with mirolistboards to get board IDs; never guess or hardcode them.
• Save returned item IDs for subsequent connection and update operations.
• Use mirobulkcreate for 3+ items instead of individual create calls.
• Keep confirmations short: "Added 3 stickies to Sprint Board" not lengthy descriptions.
• When updating items, read the current state first with mirogetitem.
