MCP ServerFree** - Trello integration for working with boards, lists in boards and cards in lists.
Capabilities7 decomposed
board-state-retrieval-and-caching
Medium confidenceFetches and caches Trello board hierarchies (boards → lists → cards) via the Trello REST API, maintaining a local representation of board structure that can be queried without repeated API calls. Implements MCP resource protocol to expose boards as queryable entities with lazy-loading of nested lists and cards, reducing API rate-limit pressure for frequent state checks.
Exposes Trello's hierarchical structure (board → list → card) as MCP resources with lazy-loading, allowing LLM agents to query board state without reimplementing Trello API pagination and rate-limit logic
Simpler than building custom Trello API wrappers because MCP handles protocol negotiation and resource discovery; more efficient than direct API calls because caching reduces redundant requests
card-creation-with-list-targeting
Medium confidenceCreates new cards in specified Trello lists by accepting card name, description, and list ID, then calling Trello's POST /cards endpoint with proper payload formatting. Supports optional parameters like due dates, labels, and assignees, with validation to ensure list exists before card creation to prevent orphaned cards.
Integrates card creation as an MCP tool that validates list existence before creation, preventing silent failures when targeting non-existent lists and providing structured error feedback to LLM agents
More reliable than raw Trello API calls because it adds validation layer; more discoverable than direct API integration because MCP exposes it as a named tool with schema documentation
card-property-mutation-with-validation
Medium confidenceUpdates card properties (name, description, due date, labels, position, list membership) via Trello's PUT /cards/{id} endpoint with field-level validation and conflict detection. Implements optimistic updates with rollback capability if the API rejects changes due to concurrent modifications or invalid state transitions.
Provides field-level validation before mutation and optional conflict detection, preventing invalid state transitions (e.g., moving card to non-existent list) that would silently fail in raw API calls
More robust than direct Trello API calls because validation prevents malformed updates; more flexible than batch operations because it supports granular property updates without full card replacement
list-enumeration-and-filtering
Medium confidenceRetrieves all lists within a Trello board and exposes them as queryable resources with optional filtering by list name, ID, or status (open/closed). Uses Trello's GET /boards/{id}/lists endpoint with caching to avoid repeated enumeration, enabling agents to discover target lists dynamically without hardcoding list IDs.
Exposes list enumeration as a discoverable MCP resource with optional filtering, allowing agents to dynamically resolve list names to IDs without hardcoding or external lookup tables
More agent-friendly than raw Trello API because it abstracts pagination and filtering; more efficient than querying board state repeatedly because it caches list metadata separately
card-search-and-retrieval-by-criteria
Medium confidenceSearches for cards across a board or within specific lists using criteria like card name, description content, labels, assignees, or due date ranges. Implements client-side filtering on top of Trello's GET /boards/{id}/cards endpoint since Trello API lacks server-side search, with optional caching to reduce API calls for repeated queries.
Provides multi-criteria card search with client-side filtering, enabling agents to locate cards by name, label, assignee, or due date without requiring hardcoded card IDs or manual board navigation
More flexible than Trello's native search because it supports programmatic filtering by multiple criteria; more agent-friendly than raw API because it abstracts filtering logic into a named tool
label-management-and-application
Medium confidenceRetrieves available labels on a board and applies or removes labels from cards via Trello's PUT /cards/{id}/idLabels endpoint. Supports label creation if labels don't exist, with color and name validation to ensure labels conform to Trello's constraints.
Abstracts label application and retrieval as MCP tools with support for label discovery and creation, allowing agents to apply semantic tags to cards without pre-configuring label IDs
More discoverable than raw Trello API because labels are exposed as named tools; more flexible than hardcoded label IDs because it supports dynamic label creation and lookup
board-and-list-metadata-exposure
Medium confidenceExposes board and list metadata (name, description, creation date, member list, permission settings) as MCP resources with read-only access. Implements caching to avoid repeated metadata fetches, enabling agents to understand board context and member structure without querying Trello API repeatedly.
Exposes board and list metadata as cached MCP resources, providing agents with structural context (members, permissions, descriptions) without requiring separate metadata queries
More efficient than repeated API calls because metadata is cached; more agent-friendly than raw API because it provides structured context in a single resource

Trello MCP
** - Trello Desktop MCP server that enables Claude Desktop to interact with Trello boards, cards, lists, and team members through natural language commands.
Best For
- ✓LLM agents that need to understand task hierarchies before taking action
- ✓automation workflows that poll board state periodically
- ✓developers building Trello-aware chatbots or assistants
- ✓automation workflows that ingest tasks from email, Slack, or other sources and create Trello cards
- ✓LLM agents that generate action items and need to persist them to Trello
- ✓batch import tools that convert CSV or JSON task lists into Trello cards
- ✓LLM agents that refine task details based on conversation context
- ✓automation workflows that update card status based on external triggers (e.g., Slack reactions, email replies)
Known Limitations
- ⚠Caching strategy not specified in source — may serve stale data if board is modified externally
- ⚠No real-time synchronization — changes made outside the MCP server are not reflected until next refresh
- ⚠Nested card properties (attachments, checklists, custom fields) may not be fully exposed depending on API response depth
- ⚠No bulk card creation endpoint — each card requires a separate API call, scaling poorly for >100 cards
- ⚠Custom field support depends on Trello board configuration; no validation of custom field values
- ⚠Attachments and cover images cannot be set at creation time; require separate API calls post-creation
