List every Trello board the configured token can see, including archived (closed) ones. Returns id, name, url and closed for each. Start here: the board ids returned feed get_lists, get_cards, get_labels and get_board_activity.

Get the open (non-archived) lists on a Trello board, in board order. board_id comes from list_boards. Returns id, name and position — the list ids are what create_card and move_card need.

Get cards on a board, optionally narrowed to one list or one label. board_id comes from list_boards; list_id (optional) comes from get_lists; label (optional) is a label NAME as shown by get_labels, matched case-insensitively. include_archived defaults to false, limit defaults to 50. Each card comes back trimmed: id, name, list, labels, due, url and a shortened description — call get_card for the full card with comments and checklists.

Get a single card with everything worth reading: full description, labels, due date, assigned members, a per-checklist done/total summary, and the most recent comments. card_id comes from get_cards, search_cards or a Trello card URL.

Search Trello cards with Trello's own search syntax (plain words, or operators like "due:week", "label:urgent", "@me", "is:open"). Pass board_id to scope the search to one board, otherwise it covers every board the token can see. Returns up to 25 trimmed card summaries.

List the labels defined on a board, with id, name and colour. Use this before create_card or add_label to turn a human label name into the label id those tools require. board_id comes from list_boards.

Recent activity on a board — cards created, moved, archived, commented on — newest first, as one readable line per action plus the raw action type. days defaults to 7. Good for "what changed this week" without diffing card state. board_id comes from list_boards.

Create a card at the bottom of a list. list_id comes from get_lists. desc is Markdown. due is an ISO 8601 date or datetime (e.g. 2026-08-20 or 2026-08-20T17:00:00Z). label_ids are label ids from get_labels — names will not work. Returns the created card including its id and url.

Update a card's title, description or due date. Only the fields you pass are changed; omitted fields are left alone. Pass due as an ISO 8601 date to set it, or null to clear it. To move a card between lists use move_card; to archive it use archive_card.

Move a card to a different list on the same board. list_id comes from get_lists. position is optional: "top" or "bottom" (default "bottom") within the destination list.

Post a comment on a card as the authenticated Trello user. text is Markdown. Comments are the right place for context and decisions — they are preserved in the card history.

Attach an existing board label to a card. label_id comes from get_labels — label names are not accepted. Adding a label the card already has is a no-op error from Trello, so check get_card first if unsure.

Detach a label from a card. This removes the label from that one card only — the label itself stays on the board. label_id comes from get_labels or from get_card.

Archive a card — Trello's reversible "remove". The card leaves the board view but keeps its comments, checklists and history, and unarchive_card brings it back. This server has no delete tool on purpose: Trello deletion is permanent and unrecoverable, so archiving is always the correct move.

Restore an archived card to its list. Find archived cards with get_cards using include_archived: true, or with search_cards.
