Miro
Shared visual canvas for diagrams, whiteboards and planning, with AI generation, workflows and an MCP server.
Miro is an online visual workspace where teams draw diagrams, run workshops and plan projects on one shared canvas. Miro combines whiteboards with docs, tables, slides, kanban boards and timelines, and its AI features generate diagrams, tables and summaries. Miro also offers an MCP server so assistants such as Claude, Cursor or Copilot can exchange context with boards.
Best for Product, design and engineering teams that plan, diagram and run workshops together and want AI generation on the same board.

What is Miro?
Miro is a collaborative visual workspace built around an infinite canvas that many people can edit at once. Beyond freehand whiteboarding, a board can hold structured formats such as docs, data tables, slides, kanban boards, timelines and diagrams, so a plan can move from sticky notes to tracked work without leaving the page. The AI layer generates diagrams, tables and summaries, clusters sticky notes, and runs repeatable workflows that the whole team can see; higher plans add agents and prototype generation from screenshots, code or prompts. An MCP server passes board content to and from tools like Claude, Cursor and Copilot. The site lists more than 250 app integrations and a library of several thousand templates. Plans range from a free tier limited to three editable boards up to an Enterprise tier with security and governance controls.

AI Workflows
Chains AI steps into a repeatable flow that sits on the canvas, where teammates can inspect and adjust it.
MCP Server
Shares board context with external AI tools, for example to turn a board into code or render Mermaid diagrams on the canvas.
