trello-mcp-server
This server provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface for comprehensive Trello API integration with secure credential management.
Security: Stores Trello API credentials in OS credential managers (Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain, Linux libsecret) instead of plaintext files, with support for migrating existing .env credentials.
Board & List Management: Retrieve all boards, get board members and labels, create/update/delete/close/reopen boards, manage lists, archive/unarchive lists, and move lists between boards.
Card Operations: Create, retrieve, update, delete, and archive cards; move cards between lists with optional positioning; set due dates; add comments and attachments; get cards by list with optional limits.
Label System: Create, update, and delete labels on boards (10 color options); add and remove labels from cards.
Checklist Functionality: Create, update, and delete checklists on cards; manage checkitems within checklists.
Member Management: Get authenticated user information, retrieve specific members, access member boards and cards, and search for members.
Batch Operations: Efficiently create multiple cards, move multiple cards, add multiple comments, create and add multiple labels, and archive multiple cards in single operations.
Integration Ready: Configure with Claude Desktop for AI-assisted Trello management.
Provides complete access to Trello boards, lists, cards, members, labels, and checklists through a comprehensive set of tools for interacting with the Trello API

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 libsecretInstallation
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/v4lheru/trello-mcp-server.git cd trello-mcp-serverInstall dependencies:
npm installBuild the project:
npm run buildSet up your credentials securely:
npm run setup-credentialsThis will prompt you for your Trello API key and token, then store them in your OS credential manager.
To get your credentials:
Copy your API Key
Click "Generate a Token" and copy the token
Usage
Start the MCP server:
npm startMigrating from .env Files
If you have existing credentials in a .env file, the setup script will automatically detect them:
npm run setup-credentialsYou'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-credentialsDelete credentials:
npm run delete-credentials
Credentials are stored in:
Windows: Credential Manager → Windows Credentials →
trello-mcp-servermacOS: Keychain Access →

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.
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.
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.
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.
