MCP Dev Loop: Trello → Cursor → GitHub

Human-in-the-loop AI development — Trello tickets drive analysis, implementation, commits, and board sync in Cursor.

❌ Not autonomous AI — the agent suggests, you approve, the agent executes.
✅ Human-in-the-loop — no surprise commits, pushes, or Trello updates.

Clone this repo, connect Trello via MCP, and run a repeatable dev loop your whole team can use.

Repo structure

Path

Purpose

trello-mcp-server/

Core engine — Trello API + MCP tools

cursor-rules/

Agent rules, skill, approval hooks

workflows/

Command system (analyze ticket, implement ticket, …)

examples/

End-to-end session walkthroughs

docs/

Setup, MCP, safety model, example prompts

bin/

install.sh, sync-global-cursor.sh

.cursor/

Ready-to-use Cursor config (MCP + rules + hooks)

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/Mih-Nig-Afe/MCP-Dev-Loop-Trello-Cursor-GitHub.git
cd MCP-Dev-Loop-Trello-Cursor-GitHub
./bin/install.sh
./bin/sync-global-cursor.sh

  1. Edit .env with Trello API credentials

  2. npm run test-api — verify connection + full card extraction

  3. Cursor Settings → MCP → confirm trello is connected (Refresh if needed)

  4. In chat: analyze my assigned tasks

Full guide: docs/setup.md

Daily workflow

Step

You say

Agent does

1. Pull

analyze my assigned tasks

Lists your Trello queue

2. Plan

analyze ticket <id>

Full card extraction → PLAN (no code)

3. Approve

proceed

—

4. Build

implement ticket <id>

Edits codebase

5. Commit prep

prepare commit for ticket <id>

Shows diff + draft message

6. Commit

commit this change

Creates commit (you approve via hook)

7. Sync

update trello ticket <id>

Comment + attach commit URL

Command reference: workflows/README.md
Example sessions: examples/

Commands

analyze my assigned tasks
analyze ticket <cardId>
implement ticket <cardId>
fix issue in ticket <cardId>
prepare commit for ticket <cardId>
commit this change
update trello ticket <cardId>
mark in progress
mark done

Slash aliases: /analyze-ticket, /implement-ticket, /prepare-commit, /update-trello

Safety (enforced)

Action

Protection

git commit

Cursor hook → asks your approval

git push

Hook → asks approval (main/master extra gate)

Trello comment / move

Hook → blocked unless you said update trello or mark done

Agent rules

Analyze phase = no code; commit/sync only on explicit command

Details: docs/safety-model.md

MCP tools

get_my_cards · get_card (full extraction) · get_card_comments · add_comment · update_card · move_card · attach_commit · get_boards · get_board_cards · get_board_lists · mark_in_progress · mark_done

get_card returns description, all comments, attachments, checklists, custom fields, stickers, activity, and list/board context in one call.

Use in another project

  1. ./bin/sync-global-cursor.sh — registers MCP globally + copies skill

  2. Copy cursor-rules/ into your app's .cursor/

  3. Keep .env in this repo (global MCP cwd points here)

Guide: docs/cursor-setup.md

Stay up to date

git pull
./bin/sync-global-cursor.sh
npm run install:mcp   # if dependencies changed

Then Refresh MCP in Cursor Settings.

Roadmap

  • Auto-task prioritization

  • Codebase memory layer

  • PR auto-review

  • Test runner integration before commit

  • Slack/Telegram notifications
