🚀 Trello MCP Server: AI-Powered Project Management

Transform your Trello boards into a living workspace for AI agents. This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server allows LLMs (like Gemini, Claude, and GPT-4) to see, organize, and manage your projects with natural language.

🔍 Overview

This project bridges the gap between AI and your Trello workflow. Instead of manually moving cards, you can tell your AI: "Move all 'To Do' cards with the 'Urgent' label to 'In Progress' and assign them to me."

Global Usage: You can save this project anywhere on your computer. Once registered, your AI will be able to start the server automatically whenever needed—no manual terminal execution required.
