Trello MCP: how to connect Trello to ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor

By Andrei Finogeev, founder of Weft · Checked against Trello’s docs on 11 November 2026

Trello has its own official MCP server, separate from Atlassian’s Rovo server, at https://mcp.trello.com/v1. It signs in with OAuth 2.0 — API tokens are not supported — and works on every Trello plan, Free included. In ChatGPT it is in the Plugin directory, in Claude in the connectors directory, and Cursor has a one-click install. The assistant can create and move cards, manage checklists and comments, and archive — but not permanently delete — cards and lists.

Trello MCP at a glance

Server URL	https://mcp.trello.com/v1 (remote HTTP)
Sign-in	OAuth 2.0. “Trello does not currently support API token-based authentication”
Free plan	Yes — “works with all Trello plans”
Rate limits	Not stated
Deletes	No — cards and lists can only be archived
Paid plans	Standard $5/user a month yearly ($6 monthly); Premium $10 ($12.50); Enterprise $17.50

“Not stated” means Trello does not say. Prices are list prices in US dollars per seat; taxes and regional prices differ.

How to set up Trello MCP in each assistant

ChatGPT

Open Plugins in the ChatGPT sidebar, find Trello and press Connect, then sign in. Trello does not say which ChatGPT plans can use it; OpenAI says Connect may be greyed out by region, workspace settings or plan.

Claude (web and desktop)

Customize → Connectors → “+”, pick Trello from the directory and sign in. On Team and Enterprise an Owner enables the connector first.

Claude Code

Trello does not document Claude Code; Anthropic’s generic command works with the Trello URL, then run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http trello https://mcp.trello.com/v1

Cursor

Use the one-click deeplink in Trello’s README (github.com/atlassian/trello-mcp-server), or add the URL as an HTTP server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trello": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.trello.com/v1" }
  }
}

VS Code, Gemini CLI, Antigravity

Listed as supported by Trello; add https://mcp.trello.com/v1 as a remote server in the client’s MCP settings. Antigravity: agy plugin install https://github.com/atlassian/trello-mcp-server.

What your AI can do in Trello

Boards, lists and cards: view, create, update, move, archive, mark done, labels.
Checklists and comments (read, add, edit); custom fields (Standard and up).
Search, activity history, the Trello Inbox and Planner (focus time needs Premium or Enterprise).
Several workspaces in one connection; attach web links to cards.

Limits worth knowing

“Destructive delete operations are not supported” — cards and lists are archived, never deleted.
Local file upload is not supported; only links can be attached.
Coming later, per Trello: checklist-item assignees, label management, board edit and archive, copying cards, member management.
Trello’s GitHub README is older than its support page (it still says one workspace per connection); we follow the support page.
No tool for an agent to claim a card or report progress — the AI moves cards, it does not work a queue.

Trello or Weft for working with AI?

Pick Trello if you want the simplest shared kanban, cheap seats, and an AI that can tidy and move cards. The server is free on every plan and cannot delete anything, which some teams will like.

Pick Weft if the AI should do the work on the board, not only move cards. Weft is Scrumban — backlog, sprints and a work-in-progress limit — and its assistant tools claim a task before starting, report progress, ask you a question that waits in your Inbox, and record decisions. It works in ChatGPT on every plan, Free included, and in Claude, Cursor, Codex and 30+ other clients.

Weft board on a phone, Doing column: three tasks an AI assistant picked up, each marked AI — Assistants pick up the next task; each card shows who is working on it.

A finished Weft task created by AI, with the outcome the assistant recorded: what it fixed and that 40 test runs passed — When an assistant finishes, it leaves a receipt: what it did and how it checked.

Questions

Does Trello have an official MCP server?

Yes — https://mcp.trello.com/v1, run by Atlassian. It is separate from the Atlassian Rovo MCP server used for Jira and Confluence, though it shares the same admin controls.

Is Trello MCP free?

Yes. Trello says it works with all plans. Custom fields need Standard or above, and Planner focus time needs Premium or Enterprise.

Can I use a Trello API key with the MCP server?

No. The official server uses OAuth 2.0 only. Community servers such as delorenj/mcp-server-trello use an API key and token instead.
