Trello MCP: Notably Absent From Atlassian's Official Server

Here's a detail worth knowing if you're evaluating Atlassian's MCP offerings: the official Atlassian remote MCP server (github.com/atlassian/atlassian-mcp-server), GA since February 2026, covers five products — Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Bitbucket, and Compass. Trello is not among them, despite Trello being an Atlassian-owned product.

What's Actually Available for Trello

In the absence of an official server, community-built options exist for connecting Trello to AI clients — a "Trello Desktop MCP" style integration that lets Claude Desktop interact with boards, cards, lists, and team members through natural language. These are third-party projects wrapping Trello's REST API, not an Atlassian-published product.

Building a Minimal One Yourself

Trello's REST API is straightforward enough that a minimal custom server covering the common operations is a reasonable weekend project:

// list_boards()
// get_board_cards(board_id)
// create_card(list_id, name, description)
// move_card(card_id, target_list_id)

Authenticate with a Trello API key + token pair scoped to the specific boards your agent actually needs, following the same least-privilege principle covered across this site's other integration guides.

Worth Revisiting

Given Atlassian has been actively expanding its official MCP coverage — GA in February 2026, protocol version updates since — Trello being excluded from the current product list may simply reflect where Atlassian's rollout is at this point in time rather than a permanent decision. Worth checking back periodically rather than assuming today's gap is final.
