What the Trello connector can do

Trello organizes work as cards moving across lists on kanban boards. Linking it to type.com means Claude can set up a board for a new initiative, create cards from a thread's to-do list, leave comments that @mention teammates, and attach files or links to cards, keeping the board current without anyone copying notes over by hand.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Trello once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

What teams do with Trello in type.com

Turn action items into cards

After a planning thread, the agent creates a card for each task in the right list, so the board reflects what was agreed.

Try asking
Create a Trello card in the 'This Week' list for each action item in this thread, one card per owner.

Stand up a board for a launch

Create a new board with a name and preferences for a project, ready for the team to start moving cards.

Try asking
Create a Trello board called 'Spring Launch' for the marketing team and tell me its link.

Keep cards documented

Attach the latest spec link to a card and add a comment that tags the reviewer, so context lives on the card itself.

Try asking
Attach the spec doc URL to the 'Pricing page redesign' Trello card and comment '@sam ready for review'.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Trello

Can Claude create Trello cards from a conversation?

Yes. In a type.com Space with the Trello connection, ask Claude to turn a list of tasks into cards, and it adds them to the list you name. It can also comment on cards and attach links.

How do I authenticate Trello?

Trello uses an API key paired with a user token, and older setups can use OAuth 1. You add the credentials once to the type.com connection, then share it with the Spaces that need it.

Can the agent react to Trello activity?

Trello lists triggers such as a card being archived, new activity, and a new board. You can also schedule a type.com automation, like a Friday digest of cards still sitting in 'Doing'.

Is this the same as a Trello MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
