Miro Automation Skill for Cursor

Miro Automation via Rube MCP

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

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/miro

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
2. Find board by name in results
3. Extract id field

Item lookup on board:

1. Call MIRO_GET_BOARD_ITEMS with board_id and optional type filter
2. Find item by content or position
3. 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
