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_, anddoc_, 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.
What was removed, and what to use instead
| Removed tool | Use instead |
|---|---|
board_list_items | canvas_search plus canvas_read_as_svg |
context_explore | canvas_search with result_mode="overview" |
context_get | canvas_search plus canvas_read_as_svg |
layout_get_dsl | canvas_get_canvas_composer_skill |
layout_create | canvas_create_from_svg |
layout_read | canvas_read_as_svg |
layout_update | canvas_update_from_svg |
diagram_get_dsl | canvas_get_canvas_composer_skill plus canvas_load_format_skill |
diagram_create | canvas_create_from_svg |
diagram_get_mermaid_instructions | canvas_get_canvas_composer_skill plus canvas_load_format_skill |
diagram_create_mermaid | canvas_create_from_svg |
diagram_update_mermaid | canvas_update_from_svg |
doc_get | canvas_read_as_svg |
doc_create | canvas_create_from_svg |
doc_update | canvas_update_from_svg |
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_svgreturns 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_svgreplaces the entire document body. There is no
find-and-replace equivalent todoc_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.
