Removed

Legacy MCP board tools have been removed

The fifteen legacy board tools announced in Legacy MCP Board tools to be deprecated are now removed. They can no longer be called. If your skills, prompts, or automations still reference them, those calls will fail.

🚧

Calls failing after the removal?

Search your skills, prompt files, custom instructions, and automations for board_list_items, context_, layout_, diagram_, and doc_, then swap each name using the table below. After that, fully disconnect and reconnect the Miro MCP server. Some clients cache the tool list at the connector level, and refreshing may not be enough.

Tables are not affected

The table_* tools are still available and were not part of this removal. They will be deprecated at a later date.

Working with documents on the canvas tools

Two things to plan for if you are migrating document workflows:

  • canvas_read_as_svg returns a document's full body, but Markdown comes back
    with escape characters, and a GFM pipe table is returned on a single line.
    Expect to normalize the text if you parse it.
  • canvas_update_from_svg replaces the entire document body. There is no
    find-and-replace equivalent to doc_update, so read the current body first
    and send back the complete text.

For the current tool list and the format spec, see the
Miro MCP tools reference.
