How to Use the Trello MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I find all available labels for Trello cards using Mastra AI?

First, call listlabels to get the list IDs. Then you pass those specific label IDs into the addlabeltocard tool. This ensures you're applying the right tags every time.

Q: Can Mastra AI help me search for Trello cards by keyword in my multi-step workflow?

Absolutely. Use searchcards. You give it a keyword and board context, and it returns matching card details. This is perfect for conditional branching: if the search finds X, then proceed to step B.

Q: If I need a full listing of lists (columns) on Trello using Mastra AI, what tool should I use?

Use listlists. This tells your workflow exactly which columns exist on the board. You can then iterate through these list names to process cards within them.

Q: Does Mastra AI support listing all members of a Trello board?

Yes, run listmembers. This pulls a roster of every user associated with the Trello board. Your workflow can then check permissions or notify specific people.

Automating Card Updates via Mastra AI

If a card needs changing, use `update_card` to adjust details like descriptions or due dates. The Mastra AI framework handles this update reliably, ensuring the change sticks even if there are network hiccups. You can also pull board context first using `get_board`. This lets your complex workflow know exactly which board it's modifying before committing any changes.

Creating and Archiving Trello Cards with Mastra AI

Need a new task? Run `create_card` to generate a card on the fly. If the task is done, don't delete it outright; instead, use `delete_card` while passing parameters that flag it as archived. This keeps your history clean. For a complete status check, run `list_cards`, which shows every card in a specified list.

Listing Trello Board Details with Mastra AI

The `get_card` tool lets you pull all the details for one specific card. It's crucial for complex workflows that need to verify content before proceeding. Want a full picture? Use `list_board_cards`. This gathers every single card across every list on the board, giving your workflow a total scope of work.

Setup guide

Set up Trello MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Trello tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "trello-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "trello-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Trello Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Trello tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Trello transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
