Companion Skill: miro-workflow

[](https://getskillcheck.com)

For Claude clients that support skills (Claude Code, Claude Desktop), this repo includes a [miro-workflow](skills/miro-workflow/) skill that describes how to assemble a few common board layouts from the atomic create-item tools.

Five layouts are covered:

| Workflow | Trigger phrase examples | |----------|------------------------| | Sprint Board | "set up a sprint board for sprint 42" | | Retrospective | "create a retro board for our team" | | Brainstorm | "brainstorm board for [topic]" | | Story Map | "map the user journey for [product]" | | Kanban | "kanban for our backlog" |

Each one specifies frame sizes, gap math, sticky placement, color conventions (the Miro API takes hex for frame fills and named values for stickies; two different vocabularies), and the tool-call order to follow. For single-tool calls ("add one sticky") or read-only inspection, the atomic tools are usually enough on their own.

The skill is new and likely needs adjustment as more layouts get exercised against real boards. Files live under [skills/miro-workflow/](skills/miro-workflow/). Claude Code auto-discovers skills from ~/Projects/claude-code-config/skills/; for other hosts, follow your client's skill installation docs.

The badge above is awarded by SkillCheck Pro; this skill currently scores 92/100 with zero Critical issues and zero Warnings. Skills in this repo earn the badge at ≥90/100 with zero Critical and zero Warnings; below that bar, the badge is dropped until the skill passes again.

Companion CLI: miro-cli

For shell-first usage, this server has a sibling: miro-cli. Same author, same Miro API coverage, different runtime. One verb per endpoint, JSON in and out, plus a local SQLite mirror for offline search. Reach for it when you're scripting Miro in CI, bulk-migrating stickies between boards, or querying boards offline without burning API quota.

The MCP server and the CLI overlap deliberately. Use the MCP server when an agent runtime is in the loop (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor). Use the CLI when bash, Makefiles, or CI are. Use both if you want.

Install:

brew install olgasafonova/tap/miro-cli
# or
go install github.com/olgasafonova/miro-cli/cmd/miro-cli@latest

Companion MCP Apps server: miro-mcp-apps

If you want Miro data to render as interactive UI in the chat (cards, tables, color clusters, SVG graphs) instead of streamed JSON, there's a TypeScript sibling: miro-mcp-apps. Six tools built on the MCP Apps extension (SEP-1865), reusing the same MIRO_ACCESS_TOKEN. The two servers run side-by-side: this one for the 92-tool CRUD surface, that one for visual at-a-glance views.

| You want… | Use | |---|---| | Programmatic control: create/update/move/connect items, generate diagrams | miro-mcp-server (this repo) | | Visual board summaries, sticky color clusters, connector graphs rendered inline | miro-mcp-apps | | Same in bash, CI, or a Makefile | miro-cli |

The MCP Apps pattern is TypeScript-only today (Go SDK has no ext-apps helpers), which is why this companion lives in a separate repo instead of bolting onto the Go server.

Token Efficiency

The full tool surface (92 tools) costs roughly 15.5K tokens of preload — about 7.8% of a 200K Claude context. For sessions where that footprint matters, set MIRO_TOOLS_PROFILE=essentials in your client config; the server then registers a curated 15-tool subset (boards, list/find/search, sticky/text/frame/connector creation, list/get/update/delete items) plus one discovery meta-tool. Agents reach the rest via miro_tool_search on demand.

| Profile | Tools | Preload tokens (est.) | % of 200K context | |---|---|---|---| | full (default) | 92 | ~15,500 | 7.8% | | essentials | 15 | ~2,400 | 1.2% |

Savings: ~13,100 tokens (84.5% reduction) when you opt into essentials. Description tokens are exact (JSON-marshaled); schema cost is estimated at 200 bytes per tool. Reproduce locally with go run ./cmd/token-count/.

miro_tool_search(query?, category?, limit?) is registered in both profiles. It searches tool names, titles, descriptions, and categories with weighted keyword scoring (name 3×, title 2×, category 2.5×, description 1×), returns up to 50 matches, and never recommends itself. Use it when you don't know which tool to reach for, or to scope to a category before browsing. Empty query plus a category returns the category's tools alphabetically.
