mirocli v1.0.6

Miro CLI

Miro CLI is a robust command-line interface (CLI) tool designed for working with the Miro Platform API. It enables users to view and manage their boards, teams, and resources, as well as access enterprise features such as Content Logs, Board Export, and Audit Logs.

The tool securely manages app credentials and sessions, ensuring safe and convenient access to Miro's powerful API capabilities. By leveraging Miro CLI, teams and developers can streamline workflows, automate tasks, and gain deeper insights into their Miro environments—all from the comfort of the command line.

Introduction

Miro CLI allows developers and teams to interact with Miro's RESTful APIs (developers.miro.com) directly from the command line.
With Miro CLI, you can:

• View and manage boards, teams, and resources.
• Access enterprise-level features such as Content Logs, Board Export, and Audit Logs.
• Securely manage credentials and maintain session persistence for seamless access.

By integrating Miro CLI into your development and operational workflows, you can automate and simplify tasks that would otherwise require manual interaction through the Miro web interface.

For more information on Miro's API capabilities, refer to the Miro REST API Introduction.

Install from Source

Prerequisites for Source Installation

• pnpm: Ensure pnpm is installed globally on your system. If not, install it using npm:

npm install -g pnpm

Steps to Install from Source

Getting Started

To use Miro CLI, you need to configure at least one context, which represents a registered Miro app (client). A context stores the credentials and details required to interact with the Miro API.

Adding a Context

You can add a new context using the following command:

mirocli context add

The interactive prompt will guide you through the configuration process. Below is an example of the prompt and the expected inputs:

? How do you want to call the new context? (Default value: default) default
? Which organization do you want to use? [Enter your organization ID] 1234567890
? What is your app's client ID? **********
? What is your app's client secret? ******

Once you've completed the prompts, the context will be saved, and you can start using Miro CLI commands to interact with your Miro resources.

Login

To authenticate with the Miro Platform, use the following command:

mirocli auth login

This will open your default web browser to complete the authentication process. Log in using your Miro account, and once successful, simply close the browser window.

Verifying Login

After completing the login process, you can verify your authentication status by running:

mirocli auth whoami

This command will display information about the authenticated user, such as the user's name and organization associated with the current session.

With successful authentication, you're ready to use Miro CLI to manage your Miro resources and access its features.

Examples

Here are some common examples of how to use Miro CLI:

View the Current Organization

To view the details of the current organization, use:

mirocli organization view

Search for Teams

To search for teams within the organization, use:

# display results in table view
mirocli teams list --name "Marketing"

# display results in raw json
mirocli teams list --name "Marketing" --json

This will list the teams whose names match the filter "Marketing."
