# Trello MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Trello MCP lets you control your boards, lists, and cards directly through your AI agent. It handles everything from creating new tasks and updating status to searching for specific cards and managing your workspace members. Stop jumping between tabs and let your agent manage the project management heavy lifting. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_bxbRgRtxn68tpG3Qa9O6ybDvBZGMXWDfoSwf4Kod/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** kanban, task-tracking, agile-management, workflow-automation, board-management, team-collaboration ## Description You can connect your Trello workspace to your AI agent to turn your project management into a conversation. Instead of manually moving cards or digging through nested lists, you just tell your agent what needs to happen. It can pull your active boards, show you exactly what's in a specific list, or find that one card you can't remember the name of. If you need to create a new task, add a checklist, or tag a team member, the agent does it for you instantly. It's like having a dedicated project manager who knows every detail of your kanban boards. Because Vinkius makes it easy to manage these connections, you can get your workspace synced up in minutes. You'll spend less time clicking and more time actually finishing the work. ## Tools ### delete_card Permanently remove a card from your board.

They tell the agent to create_card for 'Fix Header Bug' on the 'To Do' list immediately. ### Quick sprint status checks A project manager needs a status update. They ask the agent to list_board_cards for the 'Sprint 1' board to see what is done. ### Verifying team permissions An agency lead wants to know who is on a board. They use list_members to see the current team list and roles. ### Categorizing high-priority tasks A user needs to categorize a task. They ask the agent to use add_label_to_card to mark a card as 'High Priority' for the team. ## Benefits - Stop tab-switching by using list_boards to see your entire project structure in one place without leaving your editor. - Update task statuses instantly with update_card instead of manual dragging between columns. - Keep your team informed by using add_comment to leave notes directly from your chat as you work. - Organize your backlog faster with create_card to turn ideas into actionable tasks in seconds. - Find any task in seconds using search_cards to avoid digging through dozens of nested lists. - Track sub-tasks easily with add_checklist to break down complex projects into manageable steps. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a hands-free way to manage your project boards without leaving your primary workspace. 1.

You just tell your agent what the card should be called and which list it belongs in. **Does this work with my existing Trello account?** Yes, it connects directly to your existing organizational account using your API credentials. You won't need to move your data anywhere. **Can I use this to manage my team's tasks?** Absolutely. You can list members, update card descriptions, and move tasks between lists to keep everyone on the same page. **Can I search for old tasks?** You can use the search tool to find cards by keyword across your boards, making it easy to find old project details without manual scrolling. **How do I add comments to cards?** You can just ask your agent to leave a comment on a specific card, and it will post it to the activity feed for the team to see. **Can I see all my boards at once?** Yes, the Connector can fetch a full list of every board in your account so you can quickly switch between projects in your conversation. **Can my AI automatically gather details of a specific card by its ID?** Yes! Use the `get_card` tool with exactly the Card ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, standard labels, and precise notes within seconds. **How do I move a card from 'To Do' to 'Done' seamlessly?** Simply ask the agent to run the `update_card` tool. Provide the Card ID and set the destination List ID (which you can find using `list_lists` first). The card will be moved across columns instantly. **Does the integration allow completely destructive operations like deleting my entire board?** No. The agent is limited to safe mutations related to Cards—creating, updating, and removing cards. It does not contain tools to delete large configurations like Boards or Columns, protecting your company’s structure.
