Trello MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with the Trello API.

Credentials are stored securely in your OS credential manager, not in plaintext files.

Features

  • Secure Credential Storage: Credentials stored in OS credential manager (Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain, or Linux libsecret)

  • No Plaintext Secrets: No .env files, no environment variables for credentials

  • Trello Integration: Complete access to Trello boards, lists, cards, and more

  • Comprehensive API Coverage: Support for all major Trello operations

  • Type Safety: Full TypeScript support with proper typing for Trello objects

  • Error Handling: Robust error management throughout the codebase

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18 or higher

  • npm

  • Trello API key and token (see below)

Linux only: Install libsecret

# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev

# Fedora
sudo dnf install libsecret-devel

# Arch
sudo pacman -S libsecret

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/v4lheru/trello-mcp-server.git
    cd trello-mcp-server
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install
  3. Build the project:

    npm run build
  4. Set up your credentials securely:

    npm run setup-credentials

    This will prompt you for your Trello API key and token, then store them in your OS credential manager.

    To get your credentials:

    1. Go to https://trello.com/app-key

    2. Copy your API Key

    3. Click "Generate a Token" and copy the token

Usage

Start the MCP server:

npm start

Migrating from .env Files

If you have existing credentials in a .env file, the setup script will automatically detect them:

npm run setup-credentials

You'll see:

📁 Found existing credentials in: /path/to/.env
   Both API Key and Token found.

Migrate these credentials to secure storage? (Y/n):

After migration, you can optionally remove the credentials from your .env file.

Managing Credentials

  • Set/update credentials: npm run setup-credentials

  • Delete credentials: npm run delete-credentials

Credentials are stored in:

  • Windows: Credential Manager → Windows Credentials → trello-mcp-server

  • macOS: Keychain Access → trello-mcp-server

  • Linux: GNOME Keyring / KDE Wallet → trello-mcp-server

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trello": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/trello-mcp-server/build/index.js"]

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Tool has no description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

D1.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have unclear boundaries due to singular/plural pairs that create ambiguity (e.g., add-comment vs add-comments, create-card vs create-cards). An agent cannot reliably determine when to use the singular vs plural version since descriptions are missing, making tool selection confusing. However, core actions like archive-card, move-card, and get-boards are distinct in purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb-noun pattern with hyphen-separated lowercase words (e.g., add-comment, get-boards, move-card). There are no deviations in style or convention, making the naming predictable and readable throughout the set.

Tool Count4/5

With 15 tools, the count is reasonable for a Trello server that needs to manage boards, lists, cards, labels, and comments. It is slightly on the higher side but well-scoped for the domain, covering key operations without being excessive.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers core CRUD operations for cards, labels, and comments, but there are notable gaps. For example, there are no tools for updating or deleting cards/labels/comments, and operations for managing board settings or user permissions are missing. This limits full lifecycle coverage in the Trello domain.

Unclaimed servers have limited discoverability.
