“Trello MCP with workspace-aware tooling: workspace and board discovery, list and card lifecycle, checklist management, and recent activity. 9 commits on main in the last 30 days. 3 releases shipped (last in October 2025); the cadence runs from main now. Picks the slot for Atlassian-adjacent task management where Jira is too heavy.”

8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 9 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- Workspace-aware: workspace and board discovery before list and card operations.
- Checklist management tools (added in recent versions).
- Recent activity tool surfaces a feed of board operations.
- MIT licence.
- Multiple distribution channels: npx, Bun, npm, Smithery, Docker.
- Submitted to the official MCP Registry.
- 3 tagged releases over 16 months; release cadence is sparse despite active main commits.
- Latest tagged release 6 months old (v1.6.1, 2025-10-16); operators wanting version pinning rely on commit-pin or npm dist-tag.
- Trello API rate limits are conservative and apply to the agent token.
- Two credentials required (API key plus token) raises the configuration surface.
Requires TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_TOKEN. The token is user-scoped; mint a dedicated agent token where possible. Scope the token to the boards the agent should access. Trello rate limits hit at 100 requests per 10 seconds per token; agents that fan out across many cards will need batching logic on the client side.
Teams running Trello for kanban boards and project tracking; Atlassian-light workflows where Jira is heavier than the team needs; workflows where the agent reads recent board activity and acts on cards.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
