Description

This MCP server exposes a set of tools for interacting with Trello boards (cards, lists, and recent activity) while handling Trello API details such as authentication and rate limits. It is implemented in TypeScript with input validation and comprehensive error handling to make integrations more robust and predictable. The server implements automatic rate limiting (token-bucket) to respect Trello limits and provides convenience methods for common operations like adding, updating, and archiving cards or lists. It is intended to be run as an MCP server (e.g., integrated into Claude Desktop) and configured with your Trello API key, token, and board ID.
