SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Trello users often need to reorganize boards, create cards, update descriptions, and archive items, but doing it manually is slow and hard to repeat consistently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Board, List, and Card Discovery: Find boards, list IDs, and card IDs through Trello’s REST API and return key fields like names and IDs for downstream actions.
  • Card Lifecycle Management: Create cards, move cards between lists, add comments, and archive cards to match your workflow stages.
  • Practical Workflow Example: When running a weekly project review, list the relevant boards and lists, create new “To Do” cards from your notes, move completed items to “Done,” and archive cards that are no longer needed.

Quick Start

Configure TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_TOKEN as environment variables, then list your Trello boards with an API call using curl and jq.
