Full read-write Claude connector for Trello
Let Claude create cards and move them across lists in Trello
Stop dragging cards by hand to keep the board honest. Claude creates cards in the right list, moves them as work progresses, sets due dates and members, and applies labels, all on the board where the work already lives.
Trello is a visual project tool where teams track work as cards moving across lists on a board. People want Claude to do more than read those boards: to create cards, move them between lists, and keep the board current on their behalf.
What is a Trello MCP server?
A Trello MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes Trello's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can tasks, projects, and docs inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.
What can Trello's current connector do today?
Today, Trello's available Claude connections tend to be read-leaning or cover a thin slice of the API, so Claude can often look up boards and cards but cannot reliably create cards, move them between lists, or set due dates. A custom Trello connector adds those write actions with scoped, human-in-the-loop controls.
What does full read-write Trello access unlock?
Full read-write Trello access lets Claude create cards in the right list, move them between lists as work progresses, set due dates and members, apply labels, and add checklists or comments once you approve. The board upkeep that used to mean dragging cards by hand happens where the work already lives.
- Create a card in a chosen list with a description, due date, and members
- Move a card between lists as it progresses through the workflow
- Apply or remove labels to categorize and triage cards
- Add a checklist or check off items to track subtasks on a card
- Post a comment on a card to capture context from a discussion
- Set or change the due date and assigned members on existing cards
Can Claude create cards and move them between lists in Trello?
Yes. Creating cards and moving them between lists are core write actions a custom Trello connector exposes, so Claude can add a card to the right list with a description, due date, and members, then move it forward as the work progresses. Routine card edits can run directly while you stay in control.
Can Claude apply labels and add checklists to Trello cards?
Yes. Claude can apply or remove labels to triage cards, add a checklist and check off items to track subtasks, and post a comment to capture context from a discussion. These edits keep the board current as work moves, matching what your own Trello account already permits on those boards.
Will Claude archive or delete Trello cards without my approval?
No. Archiving or deleting a card is a separate, gated action that runs only after you confirm it. Creating cards, moving them between lists, and editing due dates can flow directly, while anything irreversible waits for a human, so nothing leaves the board by surprise.
How a Trello connector works
We build a small MCP server that authenticates to Trello with OAuth and the narrowest scopes the work needs. Read tools (search boards, look up cards and lists) and write tools (create card, move card, comment) are separated, and destructive actions like archiving or deleting a card are gated behind your confirmation. Claude only ever has the access your own Trello account already has.
