MCP server for storing and retrieving knowledge/snippets via Trello
MCP server for storing and retrieving knowledge/snippets via Trello. The trello knowledge mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 6 defined tools rather than through you.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that uses Trello as a knowledge base for storing and retrieving code snippets, notes, and other information.
The server ships on npm as npm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Search — ** "Show me all my Docker-related snippets"Organize — ** Cards are automatically tagged and categorizedstore_knowledge — Save a new piece of informationsearch_knowledge — Find existing informationget_knowledge — Retrieve specific knowledge by IDlist_topics — Show all available topics/categoriesYou will need 3 environment variables: TRELLO_API_KEY, TRELLO_TOKEN, TRELLO_KNOWLEDGE_BOARD_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the planning and project tracking options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Trello Knowledge's toolset — Search, Organize, store_knowledge and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by pscheit; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
