Trello MCP Server
Trello boards, lists, and cards management via natural language AI assistants.
Data last scanned today · Reviewed today
Overview
The official Trello MCP server creates a bridge between your Trello account and compatible AI assistants. It enables you to search, list, and interact with your boards, tasks, and checklists directly through natural language commands, reducing the need for constant app-switching. Built by Atlassian, this server leverages OAuth 2.0 to authenticate your connection. While currently limited to a single workspace per installation, it provides a functional interface for managing project data and workflow organization within supported AI environments.
Our verdict
With a security score of 66/100, this server is rated at a medium risk level. The score reflects a solid foundation, including active maintenance by Atlassian and zero direct dependencies. However, users should be aware that the current implementation provides full write access to your Trello boards without a read-only mode, meaning AI agents have broad permissions upon installation. It is suitable for users comfortable with OAuth-based integrations who need to actively manage task data through AI, though those prioritizing least-privilege security should monitor their permissions closely.

Frequently asked questions
›Can I connect multiple Trello workspaces to a single MCP connection?
At launch, each Trello MCP connection supports exactly one workspace. Multi-workspace support is currently planned for a future release.
›What authentication method does the Trello MCP server use?
The server uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication and access control.
›Can the AI assistant permanently delete my Trello data?
No, destructive delete operations are not supported. While the AI can archive cards and lists, it cannot perform permanent deletions.
›What happens if I need to change my permissions later?
If you need to use a feature that requires a permission not initially granted, you must disconnect the Trello MCP and reconnect it while selecting the updated permissions.
›What is the purpose of the trello-use agent skill?
The trello-use skill provides guidance to AI agents on using Trello MCP tools, such as the required ARI id formats and proper UTC date handling, to help avoid common errors.
›How do organization admins manage Trello MCP usage?
Organization admins can use Atlassian Administration to block or allow specific MCP server domains and configure server permissions.
