Mila

Mila is a collaborative platform for documents, spreadsheets, and slide presentations. This skill teaches you how to interact with Mila's REST API and MCP tools to manage content programmatically.

Get started at https://mila.gg -- create an account, generate an API key, and start building.

Authentication

All requests require a Mila API key. Keys use the format mila_sk_*.

Create individual keys at mila.gg/api-keys
Create team keys at mila.gg/team-api

API keys have scopes that control access (e.g. documents:read, documents:write, sheets:read, sheets:write, slides:read, slides:write).

REST API authentication

Include the API key as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here

Base URL: https://api.mila.gg/v1

MCP authentication

The MCP server uses the same API keys. Include the key in the Authorization header when connecting to the MCP endpoint.

MCP endpoint: https://mcp.mila.gg

MCP setup

If the user wants to connect Mila to an AI client via MCP, use these configurations:

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mila": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mila.gg",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mila": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mila.gg",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code Copilot (.vscode/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "mila": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.mila.gg",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Quick start

Create a document

curl -X POST https://api.mila.gg/v1/documents \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Meeting Notes", "content": "<h1>Meeting Notes</h1><p>Discussed roadmap.</p>"}'

MCP tool: create_document with title and content (HTML string).

Create a spreadsheet

curl -X POST https://api.mila.gg/v1/sheets \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Budget", "cells": {"A1": {"value": "Item"}, "B1": {"value": "Cost"}, "A2": {"value": "Hosting"}, "B2": {"value": 99}}}'

MCP tool: create_sheet with title and cells (A1 notation object).

Create a presentation

curl -X POST https://api.mila.gg/v1/slides \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mila_sk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Demo", "data": [{"html": "<div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;height:100%\"><h1 style=\"font-size:48px\">Hello</h1></div>", "background": "#ffffff", "notes": "Title slide"}]}'

MCP tool: create_slide_presentation with title and data (array of slide objects).

API conventions

IDs

All resource IDs are opaque strings (e.g. "xK9mP2wQ"). Use them as-is in URLs and parameters.

Pagination

List endpoints accept limit (1-100, default 50) and offset (default 0). Responses include a pagination object:

{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": { "total": 42, "limit": 50, "offset": 0 }
}

Sorting

List endpoints accept sort (created_at, updated_at, last_edited_at, title) and order (asc, desc).

Server filtering

Content can belong to a server (workspace) or to personal files.

Omit server_id: returns all content
server_id=personal: returns only personal files
server_id=<id>: returns content in that server

Pass server_id in the request body when creating content to place it in a server. Omit for personal files.

Response format

All responses use this structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... }
}

Errors return:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": { "message": "Description of the error" }
}

Content formats

Documents: HTML strings (headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, images, links). <script> tags are stripped.
Sheets: Cell data in A1 notation (e.g. {"A1": {"value": "Name"}, "B1": {"value": 42}}). Formulas start with =.
Slides: Free-form HTML on a 960x540px canvas. Each slide has html, background, and notes fields.
