get-boards

Implementation Reference

• src/tools/boards.ts:19-81 (handler)

  The asynchronous handler function that executes the 'get-boards' tool. It constructs Trello API query parameters based on input, fetches the user's boards, applies limits, and returns a structured JSON response or error message.

  	async (params) => {
  		try {
  			// Default parameters to reduce response size
  			const fields = params.fields || 'id,name,url,closed,starred';
  			const filter = params.filter || 'open';
  			const limit = params.limit || 50;
  			const organization = params.organization !== false;
  			const lists = params.lists || 'none';
  
  			// Build query parameters
  			const queryParams = new URLSearchParams({
  				key: credentials.apiKey,
  				token: credentials.apiToken,
  				fields: fields,
  				filter: filter,
  				lists: lists,
  			});
  
  			// Add organization parameter if needed
  			if (organization) {
  				queryParams.append('organization', 'true');
  			}
  
  			const response = await fetch(
  				`https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?${queryParams}`
  			);
  			const data = await response.json();
  
  			// Apply client-side limit if needed
  			const limitedData = Array.isArray(data) ? data.slice(0, limit) : data;
  
  			return {
  				content: [
  					{
  						type: 'text',
  						text: JSON.stringify({
  							boards: limitedData,
  							count: Array.isArray(limitedData) ? limitedData.length : 0,
  							parameters_used: {
  								fields,
  								filter,
  								limit,
  								organization,
  								lists
  							},
  							note: 'Use fields parameter to customize response size. Available fields: id,name,desc,closed,starred,url,shortUrl,prefs,dateLastActivity,idOrganization'
  						}, null, 2),
  					},
  				],
  			};
  		} catch (error) {
  			return {
  				content: [
  					{
  						type: 'text',
  						text: `Error getting boards: ${error}`,
  					},
  				],
  				isError: true,
  			};
  		}
  	}
  );

• src/tools/boards.ts:12-18 (schema)

  Zod schema defining the input parameters for the 'get-boards' tool, including optional fields for customization.

  {
  	fields: z.string().optional().describe('Comma-separated list of fields to include (e.g., "id,name,url"). Default: "id,name,url,closed,starred"'),
  	filter: z.string().optional().describe('Filter boards by type: "open", "closed", "starred", "all". Default: "open"'),
  	limit: z.number().min(1).max(100).optional().describe('Maximum number of boards to return (1-100). Default: 50'),
  	organization: z.boolean().optional().describe('Include organization boards. Default: true'),
  	lists: z.string().optional().describe('Include lists: "open", "closed", "all", "none". Default: "none"'),
  },

• src/tools/boards.ts:10-81 (registration)

  Local registration of the 'get-boards' tool using server.tool(), including schema and handler, within the registerBoardsTools function.

  server.tool(
  	'get-boards',
  	{
  		fields: z.string().optional().describe('Comma-separated list of fields to include (e.g., "id,name,url"). Default: "id,name,url,closed,starred"'),
  		filter: z.string().optional().describe('Filter boards by type: "open", "closed", "starred", "all". Default: "open"'),

• src/index.ts:88-88 (registration)
