Trello
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).
Setup
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.
