- Store code snippets and notes as Trello cards
- Search across card titles, descriptions, and labels
- Organize knowledge by boards and lists
- Tag-based categorization using Trello labels
- Full CRUD operations on your knowledge base

Prerequisites: Make sure you havedirenvinstalled for environment variable management.

- First, create a Power-Up athttps://trello.com/power-ups/admin(required for API access)
- Go to your Power-Up's "API Key" tab and generate a new API key
- Generate a Token by clicking the Token link (its hidden in the text)
- Copy both your API Key and Token

# Edit .envrc with your Trello credentials # Make sure direnv is installed and allowed for this directory direnv allow

{ "mcpServers": { "trello-knowledge": { "command": "node", "args": ["src/index.js"], "cwd": "/path/to/your/trello-mcp-server", "env": { "TRELLO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here", "TRELLO_TOKEN": "your_token_here", "TRELLO_KNOWLEDGE_BOARD_ID": "your_board_id_here" } } } }

Windows PowerShell(if Node.js isn't in PATH):

{ "mcpServers": { "trello-knowledge": { "command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe", "args": ["C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\path\\to\\trello-mcp-server\\src\\index.js"], "env": { "TRELLO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here", "TRELLO_TOKEN": "your_token_here", "TRELLO_KNOWLEDGE_BOARD_ID": "your_board_id_here" } } } }

Alternative with direnv(if you want Claude Desktop to inherit your shell environment):

{ "mcpServers": { "trello-knowledge": { "command": "bash", "args": ["-c", "cd /path/to/your/trello-mcp-server && eval \"$(direnv export bash)\" && node src/index.js"], "cwd": "/path/to/your/trello-mcp-server" } } }

Restart Claude Desktopfor the changes to take effect.

Once connected to Claude Desktop, you can:

- Store knowledge:"Remember that in Symfony, to prettify JSON responses, I use..."
- Retrieve knowledge:"How did I handle JSON responses in Symfony?"
- Search:"Show me all my Docker-related snippets"
- Organize:Cards are automatically tagged and categorized

- store_knowledge- Save a new piece of information
- search_knowledge- Find existing information
- get_knowledge- Retrieve specific knowledge by ID
- list_topics- Show all available topics/categories
