SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of manually keeping Trello and Dex aligned by connecting board movement, task status, and daily planning into one synced workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Trello Account Connection: Guides the user through generating an API key and token, then wiring Trello into Dex through the local MCP configuration.
  • Kanban Task Sync: Keeps Dex tasks and Trello cards in sync so moving cards between lists updates task status consistently.
  • Board Health and Planning Context: Surfaces board status, assigned cards, blocked work, and overdue items for daily plans, project health, and meeting prep.
  • Reconfiguration and Troubleshooting: Supports remapping boards and lists, changing trust levels, re-authenticating, and fixing common sync issues.

Quick Start

Ask me to set up Trello for Dex and I will connect your board, map your lists, and configure sync behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions about trello-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync Trello boards with Dex tasks?▼

Trello board syncing with Dex tasks connects card movement to task status updates. It requires generating a Trello API key and token, configuring a local MCP server using mcp-server-trello on Bun, and mapping board lists into the Dex config file.

What do I need to set up Trello Kanban task sync in Dex?▼

Kanban task sync requires a Trello API key and token for authentication, a local Bun runtime environment, and the mcp-server-trello package configured within your MCP server setup to enable on-demand status synchronization.

Can I use Trello board status for daily plan context and meeting prep?▼

Trello board status can be surfaced for daily planning and meeting preparation by syncing assigned cards, blocked work, and overdue items into Dex. This provides immediate visibility into project health and daily task priorities.

How do I remap Trello lists and boards when my workflow changes?▼

Remapping Trello lists and boards is supported through the reconfiguration workflow. You can change board selections, remap lists to new task statuses, adjust trust levels, and re-authenticate your API token if synchronization breaks.

Why is my Trello and Dex task sync not working?▼

Trello and Dex task sync often fails due to expired API tokens, incorrect MCP server configuration, or unmapped board lists. Troubleshooting involves re-authenticating your Trello credentials and verifying the local mcp-server-trello connection on Bun.

Does Trello Kanban integration support project health monitoring?▼

Trello Kanban integration supports project health monitoring by syncing board status, assigned cards, and blocked work into Dex. This surfaces overdue items and workflow bottlenecks for daily plan context and meeting preparation.
