Trello MCP: Atlassian's official server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor
Lets your AI assistant search, create, move and update Trello cards, lists and checklists after you sign in.
This is Atlassian's own hosted server for Trello. It lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other assistants find your cards, move them between lists, add checklists and comments, and triage your Inbox. You sign in with your Atlassian account and pick which workspaces it can reach, on any Trello plan, with nothing to install. It can archive cards but never permanently delete anything, and it does not accept API keys, so use a community server if you need key-based access.
Good for
- People who want Claude or ChatGPT to tell them what is due and what is overdue
- Teams who plan sprints on Trello boards and want cards moved and updated from chat
- Anyone who dumps ideas into the Trello Inbox and wants them sorted onto boards
- Developers using Cursor or VS Code who track work in Trello
- Enterprise admins deciding whether to allow AI access to Trello

What people say
People use it to have agents write and update cards, and report a few rough edges in what card reads and updates return.
What people like
- Atlassian raised the card description limit to Trello's full size two days after a user asked.
- Agents can write long handoff cards for another agent or a teammate to pick up.
Common complaints
- One user's connection signs in and then times out in Claude Code and on claude.ai.
- Reading a card did not return its checklist in one report.
- Card update replies can leave out members and checklists that are still on the card.
In their words
“A common use for this MCP server is **agents writing handoff cards**”PatucaGitHub issueSep 2026
“We have pushed a quick fix for the tool schema. Now, `desc` is set to the limit of 16384.”atlassian-jinhuanleiGitHub issueOct 2026
“OAuth flow and `initialize` succeed, but the next request in the handshake (`notifications/initialized` with the returned Mcp-Session-Id) never gets a response and every client times out after 30s.”arthurvieira2003
Questions
What is the Trello MCP server URL?
https://mcp.trello.com/v1. Add it as a remote server in your assistant, then sign in and pick the workspaces it may use.
Do I need a paid Trello plan?
No. It works on every Trello plan. Creating focus time in Planner needs Premium or Enterprise, and custom fields need Standard or higher.
Can it delete my boards or cards?
No. It can archive cards and lists, which you can restore, but it cannot permanently delete anything.
Can I connect with a Trello API key or token?
No. The official server only accepts signing in with your account. Community servers such as mcp-server-trello use an API key and token instead.
How do I make it read-only?
Grant only Read on the sign-in screen and leave Write unticked. To change it later, disconnect and connect again with the permissions you want.
Is Trello part of the Atlassian Rovo MCP server?
No. Rovo MCP covers Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian products, while Trello has its own server. Atlassian says Trello may join Rovo MCP later.
Why does it say "Access to this domain is restricted"?
Your organization admin has blocked the server's domain. Ask them to allow it in Atlassian Administration.
Why does it say no Trello workspaces were found?
You probably signed in with a different Atlassian account than the one you use for Trello, or you no longer belong to a workspace. Sign in with your Trello account and try again.
How do admins turn it off for everyone?
In Atlassian Administration, open the Rovo MCP server permissions and untick Trello read or write access. Admins can also allow or block specific MCP domains there.
Trello MCP vs mcp-server-trello?
Use Trello MCP for a quick, safe setup with sign-in and no permanent deletes. Use mcp-server-trello if you need an API key setup or files attached to cards, and are fine running it on your own computer.
