Core Features

Automatic Creation and Management of Cards

Create Trello cards using natural language instructions, supporting setting titles, descriptions, due dates, and positions. It can automatically add checklists and checklist items, supports batch operations, and can create multiple cards in a single conversation.

Board and List Operations

Browse and view all Trello boards to retrieve board details, lists, members, and label information. The AI automatically handles name-to-ID conversions, so you don’t need to manually look up complex board IDs.

Intelligent Search and Assignment

Supports cross-board card searches to quickly locate tasks by keywords. Automatically assigns members to cards, adds comments and attachments, and moves cards to different lists—enabling end-to-end workflow automation.

FAQs

What prerequisites are needed for the Trello Automation skill?

Connect to a Rube MCP server (https://rube.app/mcp) and complete Trello account authorization in Rube. On first use, the AI will guide you through configuring the Trello connection, and the entire process requires no API keys.

Why can’t I find the card I just created when searching?

Trello search indexing has a delay of a few minutes. Newly created or updated cards may take 3–5 minutes to appear in search results. If you need to act on the new card immediately, the AI will use the card ID returned at creation time to operate on it directly.

How can I avoid Trello API rate limiting?

Trello API limits requests to 300 per 10 seconds. For batch operations, the skill automatically uses the batch read interface (TRELLO_GET_BATCH) to reduce the number of requests. For large-scale operations, the AI automatically controls request frequency.
