Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server for the Trello REST API that lets an assistant browse boards, lists and cards, and create, move, comment on and attach files to cards.

What you can do
  • List and inspect boards, lists and the authenticated member's profile
  • Read cards, card comments, attachments, checklists and card action history
  • Create lists, cards, labels and checklists, and add checklist items
  • Update card fields, move cards between lists or boards, and archive cards
  • Add comments, upload file attachments, attach URLs and delete attachments
  • Search cards and boards
When to use it
Useful when you keep project work in Trello and want an assistant to read board state, summarize or search cards, and make routine updates such as creating cards, moving them, commenting or attaching files without switching to the Trello UI.
Requirements
Runs locally as a Python package (trello-mcp) via uvx or pip, so a Python environment is needed. Requires a Trello API key and user token, supplied through the TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_TOKEN environment variables; the key comes from the Trello Power-Up admin page. Network access to the Trello API.
Before you install
The server holds Trello credentials (TRELLO_API_KEY, TRELLO_TOKEN) that grant access to the authenticated member's boards, so store them carefully. Many tools write to Trello: creating and updating cards, moving and archiving cards, adding comments, uploading attachments and deleting attachments. Uploaded files and card data are sent to Trello.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Trello MCP Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
