Architecture
MCP Protocol

The server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which provides:

  • Standardized tool discovery and invocation
  • Type-safe parameter validation
  • Structured error handling
  • Automatic credential management
Security
  • API credentials are stored locally in Claude Desktop's config
  • No credentials are transmitted over the network
  • All Trello API calls use HTTPS
  • Rate limiting is respected with automatic retry logic
Technical Stack
  • TypeScript for type safety
  • MCP SDK for protocol implementation
  • Zod for schema validation
  • Fetch API for HTTP requests

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
  1. "No Trello tools available"

    • Ensure Claude Desktop is fully restarted after configuration
    • Check that the path in config points to dist/index.js
    • Verify the file exists and is built
  2. "Invalid credentials"

    • Double-check your API key and token
    • Ensure token has read/write permissions
    • Regenerate token if needed
  3. "Rate limit exceeded"

    • The server includes automatic retry logic
    • Wait a few minutes if you hit limits
    • Consider reducing request frequency
