Trello + ChatGPT
Drive Trello (Kanban boards) from any AI agent: boards, lists, cards, members, labels, checklists, attachments-by-URL. 13 tools. API key + user token query-string auth (Trello-specific).
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
TRELLO_API_KEY, TRELLO_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Setup:
- Sign in to Trello → go to https://trello.com/power-ups/admin → + New to create a Power-Up (this is just the modern way to mint API keys).
- After creation, open the Power-Up → API key section → copy the API key.
- Below it, click Token → authorize the Power-Up → copy the generated user Token.
- Set:
TRELLO_API_KEY= the Power-Up key (a long alphanumeric)TRELLO_TOKEN= the user token (much longer)
Authentication: query-string ?key=${TRELLO_API_KEY}&token=${TRELLO_TOKEN} on every request. The token is per-user — actions are attributed to that user. To act as a different user, mint a separate token via their Trello account.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
ChatGPT supports MCP servers via the Connectors feature (Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise plans). The free tier does not support custom connectors.
- Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors (or click the 🔧 icon in the composer → Manage connectors).
- Click "Add custom connector".
- Fill in:
- Name:
Trello - MCP server URL:
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp - Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
- Name:
- Click Connect to authorize.
