Trello Mcp Complete

Trello MCP Server — The Most Complete Trello Integration for AI

> Why this project? While several Trello MCP servers exist, none of them cover the full API surface. This project was built to change that — 147 tools mapped 1:1 to the Trello REST API, giving AI assistants complete control over boards, cards, lists, members, organizations, and more.

Quick Start

1. Get your Trello API credentials

Go to the Trello Power-Up Admin portal:

1. Click New → fill in any app name → Create.
2. Copy your API Key.
3. Click the Token link next to the key → Allow → copy the generated API Token.

2. Add to your MCP client

Paste this into your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trello": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "trello-mcp-complete@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TRELLO_API_KEY": "",
        "TRELLO_API_TOKEN": "",
        "TRELLO_ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_boards,get_board,get_lists,get_list_cards,get_cards,get_card,create_card,update_card,comment_on_card,search"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your client. Done.

Tool Management

With 147 tools available, you most likely only need a subset for your daily workflow. Use the TRELLO_ENABLED_TOOLS environment variable to specify exactly which tools to expose — comma-separated by tool name.

If TRELLO_ENABLED_TOOLS is omitted, these 10 core tools are enabled by default:

get_boards, get_board, get_lists, get_list_cards, get_cards,
get_card, create_card, update_card, comment_on_card, search

Any tool not listed in TRELLO_ENABLED_TOOLS will be hidden from the AI and blocked at execution time.
