Hello everyone,
I have run into two things today that I cannot resolve on my own, and I would be grateful for an answer from anyone who knows how this actually works — Miro staff or otherwise.
1. A paid subscription has not lifted the MCP call limit
I use Miro through the Model Context Protocol. On the Free plan there is a hard ceiling of one hundred tool calls per day per organisation. Once that ceiling is reached, every call is refused with:
"Your organization has reached its daily Miro MCP tool call limit of 100 calls on the Free plan. The limit resets tomorrow."
I hit the ceiling in the middle of a single editing operation, which left my board half-finished: the text was written, the images and the accompanying explanation were not. So I followed the upgrade link in the error message and bought a subscription.
The limit did not lift. Every call since then returns exactly the same message, still describing my organisation as being on the Free plan — including user_who_am_i, which does nothing at all. I have checked that the integration itself is healthy and connected, and I have tried repeatedly over several hours.
My questions:
- What has to happen for a purchased subscription to take effect for MCP access, and how long does it normally take?
- Is there an action required on my side — reconnecting the integration, re-authorising it, something else?
- If I bought the subscription on one team while the board lives on another team, would that produce exactly this symptom? The limit is described as being per organisation, so I suspect this may be the cause. How do I check which team the board belongs to, and how do I correct it if they do not match?
2. How do I stop board sharing from adding billable seats?
This is the second thing, and it is the reason I hesitated to subscribe again at all.
On previous occasions I have shared a board with someone and later discovered that my subscription had gone from one seat to two. I was never shown a prompt, a confirmation, or any approval step. The seat was simply added and the charge followed.
I do not want to run a team and I do not want to pay for anybody else. If someone wants to use Miro, they can hold their own subscription. I am happy to share boards; I just want that act to have no effect on the number of seats I am billed for.
My questions:
- Which exact setting prevents a person from being added to my team when I share a board with them? I would appreciate the full navigation path rather than a general description.
- Once that setting is in place, is it guaranteed that no sharing action can create an additional billable seat?
- What is the difference, in billing terms, between sharing a board with someone as a guest and having them become a team member — and which one does a normal share link produce?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on either of these.
Michel
