Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_boardsA | List all Trello boards you can access. Returns compact {id, name, shortLink, url} — use this instead of dumping full board JSON. |
| list_custom_fieldsA | List the custom fields defined on a board, including the allowed options for list-type fields. Use this to discover field names and values before calling find_cards. |
| find_cardsA | Find cards on a board, optionally filtered by a custom field value, list name, and/or label. This is the main tool: e.g. fieldName='AI Ready', value='Claude kiosk'. Use |
| get_cardA | Get the full content of one card: description, custom field values, checklists, attachments, comments, members, due date. |
| add_commentA | Post a comment to a card (useful for asking a clarifying question or logging progress while solving a task). |
| set_custom_fieldA | Set (or clear) a custom field on a card — e.g. mark a task done by setting AI Ready to 'Done'. For list-type fields the value is matched to an existing option; pass createOption:true to add a new option. Leave value empty to clear the field. |

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: adding comments, searching cards, fetching card details, listing boards, listing custom fields, and setting custom fields. No overlap in functionality.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., add_comment, find_cards, list_boards), making them predictable and easy to distinguish.
With 6 tools, the server covers the essential operations for interacting with Trello boards and cards without being excessive or insufficient.
The set covers common workflows like searching, reading, and updating cards, and listing boards and custom fields. However, it lacks create_card and delete_card, which are basic CRUD operations.
