MCP server

Trello MCP server

Trello has no official MCP server yet; these community servers are maintained and in use. Below is the server with the setup for 13 clients: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and more. Checked 2026-10-24 against each project's own repo, docs and the official MCP Registry.

FAQ

Is there an official Trello MCP server?+

Not from Trello itself (checked 2026-10-24). The community servers on this page are the maintained ones: Trello.

How do I connect Trello to Claude?+

In Claude Code, run the claude mcp add command shown above. In Claude Desktop, add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings > Developer > Edit Config) and restart the app.

How do I use the Trello MCP server in Cursor or VS Code?+

Open the Cursor or VS Code tab on the server above: it has the exact mcp.json entry and a one-click install link. The same server also works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Codex.

Is it safe to give an AI agent access to Trello?+

Start with the official server, a read-only or test account and approval prompts on for anything that writes. Content the agent reads from Trello (tickets, messages, pages) can carry prompt-injection instructions, so don't auto-approve actions.
