Trello MCP servers: which one to use
Use Trello's official hosted server for simple sign-in and no API keys. Use delorenj's server if you need comments, attachments or custom fields.

Trello now has an official MCP server, hosted by Atlassian. You sign in with your Trello account and choose which permissions to grant, so there are no API keys to manage. It connects one workspace at a time and does not yet cover comments, attachments or custom fields. Community servers fill those gaps, but they run on your machine with your own Trello API key and token.
Good for
- Trello users who want Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to read boards and create or move cards
- Teams who need an assistant to read and write card comments, attachments and custom fields
- People who want an assistant to look at boards without changing them
- Admins who want to control which AI tools can reach Trello
Which Trello MCP server to use
Start with the official server unless you need comments, attachments or custom fields, which delorenj's server covers. Pick avhn's trello-mcp if you want a server-side read-only mode.

Questions
What is the Trello MCP server URL?
The official server is at https://mcp.trello.com/v1. Add that address to your AI client's MCP settings and approve the sign-in screen, or use the listing for ChatGPT or Claude.
Is there an official Trello MCP server?
Yes. Atlassian hosts it, and it signs in with OAuth 2.0 on your Trello account. It works on any Trello plan.
Does the official server work with Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor?
Yes. The README links a ChatGPT listing, a Claude connector listing and a one-click Cursor install. It also names Visual Studio Code, Gemini CLI and Antigravity.
Can the official server delete cards?
No. Permanent deletes are not supported. The assistant can archive cards and lists, and it can only do what your own Trello permissions allow.
How do I make Trello read-only for an assistant?
With the official server, approve only the permissions you want at sign-in, and reconnect to change them. Admins can also set the allowed level in Atlassian Administration. avhn's trello-mcp has a server-side read-only mode.
Which server handles comments and attachments?
delorenj's mcp-server-trello covers comments, attachments and custom fields. The official server lists all three as coming later, so check its README for updates.
Can I use more than one workspace?
The official server connects one workspace per connection for now. delorenj's server lets you switch boards and workspaces without restarting, and can limit access to listed workspaces.
Do I need a Trello API key?
Not for the official server, which uses sign-in. delorenj's and trello-desktop need an API key and a token from Trello's app-key page.
Is anything paid?
The official server needs a Trello account on any plan. Creating focus-time events in its Planner needs Trello Premium or an enterprise plan.
