FAQ from MCP Server Trello

What environment variables are required?

TRELLO_API_KEY (from https://trello.com/app-key), TRELLO_TOKEN (generate using your API key), and TRELLO_BOARD_ID (found in the board URL).

How does rate limiting work?

The server uses a token bucket algorithm to comply with Trello’s limits: 300 requests per 10 seconds per API key and 100 requests per 10 seconds per token. Requests are queued if limits are reached.

What runtime dependencies are needed?

Node.js 16 or higher and npm or yarn.

What transport or authentication does the server use?

It uses Trello’s REST API with an API key and token provided via environment variables. The MCP transport is handled by the Model Context Protocol SDK.

Are there any known limitations?

The server requires a single board ID; it does not support switching boards dynamically. Rate limits are enforced automatically.
