Trello is a visual project management tool that organizes work into boards, lists, and cards. The Trello MCP server lets you manage your boards, lists, cards, checklists, labels, and custom fields using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Manage boards with creation, updates, and member management
  • Organize lists and cards including creation, updates, and deletion
  • Track progress with checklists, labels, and comments
  • Read and write custom fields on cards, including dropdown options
  • Search across boards, cards, members, and organizations

​
Where to Use It

Add Trello as a tool to any agent. The agent can then manage your project boards conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Trello tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Create a card in the To Do list”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Add a comment to the latest card in To Do” will find the list, get cards, then add a comment. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
