Using Connectors (MCP) to turn Visual Workflows into Real Code

In this Bolt.new Premium Customer Workshop, we explore how connectors and Miro can make your app logic visible, editable, and easier to reason about. If you are a visual builder or want a clearer way to understand what is happening under the hood, this session shows how to map workflows in Miro and sync those changes back into your Bolt project. We also break down what MCP is, how Bolt connectors work, and how to connect both preconfigured and custom tools so your agent can read from and write to external services. Along the way, we use Miro to visualize an onboarding flow, improve it visually, and send those updates back into the app. *What we’re building:* We’ll work with a meal planning app and create a visual onboarding workflow that captures household size, dietary preferences, allergies, and cooking habits. Using the Miro connector, we’ll turn that flow into a diagram, rearrange the steps on the board, and then use Bolt to update the app so the onboarding experience matches the new logic. *Skills:* Miro, MCP connectors, Model Context Protocol, OAuth connectors, Custom MCP setup, Visual workflows, Onboarding flows, Flowcharts, Site maps, Entity relationship diagrams, Prompt planning, Bolt workflows. *What You’ll Learn:* - What MCP is and why it matters for connecting AI tools to external services - How to connect preconfigured Bolt connectors like Miro in just a few clicks - How to add a custom MCP connector and authenticate it - How to map an onboarding flow from your Bolt app into a Miro flowchart - How to visually edit the flow in Miro and bring those changes back into Bolt - Why planning your steps first helps reduce logic mistakes and improves output quality - How to use Miro to create site maps and entity relationship diagrams for your app - How connectors like Notion, GitHub, and screen recording tools can bring more useful context into Bolt - Why this workflow is especially helpful for visual learners and less technical builders *Timestamps:* 00:00 Workshop Kickoff 01:34 Agenda Overview 05:03 MCP Connectors Explained 07:34 Connect Miro in Bolt 14:40 Add a Custom MCP 18:32 Meal Planner App Setup 21:58 Why Visual Flows Matter 28:04 Onboarding Flow Walkthrough 31:20 Review Onboarding Map 35:14 Sync Changes Back to Bolt 39:31 ER Diagram in Miro 54:47 Wrap Up and Thanks *About Bolt* Bolt turns ideas into production software in minutes, entirely in your browser.
