Scored across 11 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action on a specific Trello entity (board, list, card, comment). There is no overlap; for example, read_board reads a board's contents while list_boards lists all boards, and move_card vs archive_card are clearly different.
All tool names consistently use snake_case with a verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_card, archive_list, update_card_name). The verbs (add, archive, create, delete, list, move, read, update) are descriptive and uniformly applied across the tool set.
With 11 tools, the set covers the core operations for managing Trello boards, lists, and cards. The count is well-balanced—not too few to be incomplete and not too many to be overwhelming—suitable for a focused Trello MCP server.
The server provides essential operations for boards (list, read, delete), lists (create, archive, rename), and cards (create, archive, move, rename, comment). However, it lacks board creation and card deletion, which are common lifecycle operations, leaving notable gaps for a full Trello workflow.
