How do I connect my Trello account?

You need to provide your Trello API Key and Token during the setup process. Vinkius manages the connection so it is ready to use in your AI client immediately.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I delete cards using the agent?

Yes, the agent has a capability to permanently delete cards, though it is often better to use the archive function by updating the card status.

Does this work with my existing Trello boards?

Yes, once you authenticate, the agent can see and interact with all boards and lists in your account.

Can I add comments to cards?

Yes, you can instruct your agent to add comments, which will appear in the card activity feed and notify watchers.

Can my AI automatically gather details of a specific card by its ID?

Yes! Use the get_card capability 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 capability. 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 capabilities to delete large configurations like Boards or Columns, protecting your company’s structure.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Trello to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Trello works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Trello to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 16 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Trello, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Trello. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
