# Trello Toolkit

> List boards and lists, create and update cards, and search Trello with an API key and token

The **Trello** toolkit lets agents work with Trello boards, lists, and cards: browse boards, read lists and cards, create and update cards, and search across the workspace. Authentication uses a Trello **API key** and **token** (not OAuth).

Add it on the agent **Toolkits** tab, connect credentials, then reference tools with `@` in the personality prompt.

## Prerequisites

* A Trello account with access to the boards the agent should use
* A Trello API key and token (see Setup)
* An agent you can edit

## Setup

1. In Trello, open [Power-Ups admin](https://trello.com/power-ups/admin), create a Power-Up if needed, then **Generate a new API key**.
2. Next to the key, choose **manually generate a Token**, authorize access, and copy the token.
3. Open the agent → **Toolkits** → add **Trello**.
4. Create or select a connection and enter the **API key** and **token**.
5. Save, `@`-mention Trello tools in the personality prompt, and test by listing boards.

## Available tools

| Tool                  | Description                                                                                          |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **List Boards**       | Lists boards the credentials can access (closed boards are excluded).                                |
| **Get Board Lists**   | Lists columns/lists on a board.                                                                      |
| **Get Cards in List** | Lists cards in a list.                                                                               |
| **Get Card**          | Returns details for one card.                                                                        |
| **Create Card**       | Creates a card in a list (name, optional Markdown description, position, due date, labels, members). |
| **Update Card**       | Updates a card (name, description, move to another list, due date, archive/unarchive).               |
| **Search**            | Searches cards and/or boards (default focuses on cards; result limit capped).                        |

## Use cases

* Create a card from a chat request and put it on the right list
* Move or update a card when status changes
* Find cards by keyword across boards
* Summarize what is on a board or in a specific list

## Tips

* Credentials can access only what that Trello token was authorized for.
* Prefer board, list, and card IDs when names are ambiguous.
* Card descriptions support Markdown.
* Keep the API key and token out of prompts, tickets, and screenshots.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom                       | What to check                                                          |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Auth / 401 errors             | Regenerate the token if revoked; confirm key and token belong together |
| Empty board list              | Token lacks access; authorize the correct Trello account               |
| Cannot create or update cards | Permissions on the board; confirm list ID                              |
| Search returns nothing        | Broaden the query; confirm boards vs cards filter                      |
