FAQ from Trello MCP Server by CData

Is Trello MCP Server by CData read-only?

Yes, this server is explicitly read-only. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a separate free beta server.

What are the runtime requirements?

You need Java (JDK or JRE), Maven for building, and the CData JDBC Driver for Trello (requires a license or trial key). The server runs on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Where does my Trello data live?

Your data remains in Trello. The server queries it live over the internet using OAuth authentication configured during setup.

How does the server connect to Trello?

It uses the JDBC connection string you provide in the .prp file, which includes OAuth credentials. The driver handles authentication and data retrieval.

What transport protocol does the server use?

The server uses stdio (standard input/output) transport, so it must run on the same machine as the MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop).
