Miro

The Miro enables tools and to call Miro APIs  on behalf of a using OAuth 2.0 authentication.

Want to quickly get started with Miro in your or AI app? The pre-built Arcade Miro MCP Server is what you want!

What’s documented here

This page describes how to use and configure Miro auth with Arcade.

This is used by:

Configuring Miro auth

When using your own app credentials, make sure you configure your to use a custom user verifier. Without this, your end-users will not be able to use your app or in production.

In a production environment, you will most likely want to use your own Miro app credentials. This way, your will see your application’s name requesting permission.

Before showing how to configure your Miro app credentials, let’s go through the steps to create a Miro app.

Create a Miro app

To integrate with Miro’s API, you’ll need to create an app in the Miro Developer Platform:

Access the Miro Developer Platform

Navigate to the Miro Developer Platform  and sign in with your Miro or create a new one.

Create a new app

  1. Go to Your Apps  in your Miro profile settings
  2. Click on “Create new app”
  3. Fill in the required details:
    • App Name: Choose a descriptive name for your application
    • Description: Provide a brief description of your app

Configure OAuth settings

  1. After creating your app, navigate to the OAuth & Permissions section
  2. Set the Redirect URI to the redirect URL generated by Arcade (see configuration section below)
  3. Configure the required Scopes for your application:
    • boards:read - Read board information
    • boards:write - Create and modify boards
    • Add other scopes as needed for your use case

Obtain your credentials

  1. In your app’s settings, you’ll find your Client ID and Client Secret
  2. Copy both values for use in Arcade configuration

For detailed instructions, refer to Miro’s OAuth documentation .

Next, add the Miro app to Arcade.

Configuring your own Miro Auth Provider in Arcade

Configure Miro Auth Using the Arcade Dashboard GUI

Access the Arcade Dashboard

To access the Arcade Cloud dashboard, go to api.arcade.dev/dashboard . If you are self-hosting, by default the dashboard will be available at http://localhost:9099/dashboard . Adjust the host and port number to match your environment.

  • Under the OAuth section of the Arcade Dashboard left-side menu, click Providers.
  • Click Add OAuth Provider in the top right corner.
  • Select the OAuth 2.0 tab at the top.

Enter the provider details

  • Choose a unique ID for your provider (e.g. “arcade-miro”).
  • Optionally enter a Description.
  • Enter the Client ID and Client Secret from your Miro app.
  • Configure the OAuth 2.0 endpoints:
    • Authorization URL: https://miro.com/oauth/authorize
    • Token URL: https://api.miro.com/v1/oauth/token
  • Note the Redirect URL generated by Arcade. This must be set as your Miro app’s Redirect URI.

Create the provider

Hit the Create button and the provider will be ready to be used.

When you use tools that require Miro auth using your Arcade credentials, Arcade will automatically use this Miro OAuth provider. If you have multiple Miro providers, see using multiple auth providers of the same type for more information.

Using Miro auth in app code

Use the Miro in your own and AI apps to get a token for the Miro API. See authorizing agents with Arcade to understand how this works.

Use client.auth.start() to get a token for the Miro API:

Python
from arcadepy import Arcade client = Arcade() # Automatically finds the `ARCADE_API_KEY` env variable user_id = "{arcade_user_id}" # Start the authorization process auth_response = client.auth.start( user_id=user_id, provider="arcade-miro", scopes=["boards:read", "boards:write"] ) if auth_response.status != "completed": print("Please complete the authorization challenge in your browser:") print(auth_response.url) # Wait for the authorization to complete auth_response = client.auth.wait_for_completion(auth_response) token = auth_response.context.token # Do something interesting with the token...

Using Miro auth in custom tools

You can use the pre-built Arcade Miro MCP Server to quickly build and AI apps that interact with Miro.

If the pre-built tools in the Miro Server don’t meet your needs, you can author your own custom tools that interact with the Miro API.

Use the OAuth2() auth class to specify that a requires authorization with Miro. The context.authorization.token field will be automatically populated with the ’s Miro token:

Python
from typing import Annotated import httpx from arcade_tdk import ToolContext, tool from arcade_tdk.auth import OAuth2 @tool( requires_auth=OAuth2( provider_id="arcade-miro", scopes=["boards:read"] ) ) async def get_user_boards( context: ToolContext, ) -> Annotated[dict, "The user's boards."]: """ Retrieve the list of boards for the authenticated user. """ url = "https://api.miro.com/v2/boards" headers = { "Authorization": context.authorization.token, } async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client: response = await client.get(url, headers=headers) response.raise_for_status() return dict(response.json())

Available Scopes

Miro supports various OAuth scopes that determine the level of access your application has:

  • boards:read - Read board information
  • boards:write - Create and modify boards
  • team:read - Read team information
  • team:write - Manage team settings
  • organizations:read - Read organization information
  • organizations:teams:read - Read organization teams

For a complete list of available scopes, refer to the Miro Scopes documentation .
