MCP Server Trello

delorenj/mcp-server-trello

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents full access to your Trello boards — cards, lists, checklists, attachments, comments, custom fields, and workspaces — with built-in rate limiting, type safety, and workflow-level tools you won't find in a plain API wrapper, like acceptance-criteria extraction and checklist dependency queries.

Features

  • Acceptance criteria, natively: get_acceptance_criteria pulls a card's AC checklist straight into your agent's context — no competitor offers it.

  • Watch anything: watch_card and watch_list route card and list activity into your Trello notifications.

  • Full list management: create, update, reorder (update_list_position), and archive lists.

  • Board and workspace switching on the fly: no restarts, no config edits.

  • Rate limiting handled for you: respects Trello's API limits automatically (300 req/10s per key, 100 req/10s per token).

  • Bun-powered: fast startup and a 2.8-4.4x performance boost over the old Node build. npx and npm work too.
