made by hot spot not by boundary line
Mauna Loa is not located on a plate boundary. Mauna Loa is caused by a stationary hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
No, Mauna Loa is not located on a transform boundary. It is a shield volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii and is primarily formed by hotspot volcanism, where magma rises from deep within the Earth's mantle.
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.

The tectonic plate that Mauna Loa sits on is moving northwestward over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle, creating a chain of volcanic islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. As the plate moves, new lava erupts on Mauna Loa, adding to its size and height. The volcano periodically erupts, releasing pressure from the magma chamber beneath it.

It isn't on a plate boundary. It's on a hotspot.

What type of magma is produced in mauna loa?

Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii are a couple of examples.
Mauna Loa is a mountain in Hawaii that is made of volcanic stone. The mountain continues to grow as lava is added to its lava fields.
