--- name: trello-automation-14831f5e794d description: "Automate Trello boards, cards, and workflows via Rube MCP (Composio). Create cards, manage lists, assign members, and search across boards programmatically." risk: unknown source: community date_added: "2026-02-27" --- # Trello Automation via Rube MCP Automate Trello board management, card creation, and team workflows through Composio's Rube MCP integration. ## Prerequisites - Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) - Active Trello connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `trello` - Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas ## Setup **Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works. 1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds 2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `trello` 3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Trello auth 4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows ## Core Workflows ### 1. Create a Card on a Board **When to use**: User wants to add a new card/task to a Trello board **Tool sequence**: 1. `TRELLO_GET_MEMBERS_BOARDS_BY_ID_MEMBER` - List boards to find target board ID [Prerequisite] 2. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_LISTS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get lists on board to find target list ID [Prerequisite] 3. `TRELLO_ADD_CARDS` - Create the card on the resolved list [Required] 4. `TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_CHECKLISTS_BY_ID_CARD` - Add a checklist to the card [Optional] 5. `TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_CHECKLIST_CHECK_ITEM_BY_ID_CARD_BY_ID_CHECKLIST` - Add items to the checklist [Optional] **Key parameters**: - `idList`: 24-char hex ID (NOT list name) - `name`: Card title - `desc`: Card description (supports Markdown) - `pos`: Position ('top'/'bottom') - `due`: Due date (ISO 8601 format) **Pitfalls**: - Store returned id (idCard) immediately; downstream checklist operations fail without it - Checklist payload may be nested (data.data); extract idChecklist from inner object - One API call per checklist item; large checklists can trigger rate limits ### 2. Manage Boards and Lists **When to use**: User wants to view, browse, or restructure board layout **Tool sequence**: 1. `TRELLO_GET_MEMBERS_BOARDS_BY_ID_MEMBER` - List all boards for the user [Required] 2. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get detailed board info [Required] 3. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_LISTS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get lists (columns) on the board [Optional] 4. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_MEMBERS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get board members [Optional] 5. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_LABELS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get labels on the board [Optional] **Key parameters**: - `idMember`: Use 'me' for authenticated user - `filter`: 'open', 'starred', or 'all' - `idBoard`: 24-char hex or 8-char shortLink (NOT board name) **Pitfalls**: - Some runs return boards under response.data.details[]—don't assume flat top-level array - Lists may be nested under results[0].response.data.details—parse defensively - ISO 8601 timestamps with trailing 'Z' must be parsed as timezone-aware ### 3. Move Cards Between Lists **When to use**: User wants to change a card's status by moving it to another list **Tool sequence**: 1. `TRELLO_GET_SEARCH` - Find the card by name or keyword [Prerequisite] 2. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_LISTS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get destination list ID [Prerequisite] 3. `TRELLO_UPDATE_CARDS_BY_ID_CARD` - Update card's idList to move it [Required] **Key parameters**: - `idCard`: Card ID from search - `idList`: Destination list ID - `pos`: Optional ordering within new list **Pitfalls**: - Search returns partial matches; verify card name before updating - Moving doesn't update position within new list; set pos if ordering matters ### 4. Assign Members to Cards **When to use**: User wants to assign team members to cards **Tool sequence**: 1. `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_MEMBERS_BY_ID_BOARD` - Get member IDs from the board [Prerequisite] 2. `TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_ID_MEMBERS_BY_ID_CARD` - Add a member to the card [Required] **Key parameters**: - `idCard`: Target card ID - `value`: Member ID to assign **Pitfalls**: - UPDATE_CARDS_ID_MEMBERS replaces entire member list; use ADD_CARDS_ID_MEMBERS to append - Member must have board permissions ### 5. Search and Filter Cards **When to use**: User wants to find specific cards across boards **Tool sequence**: 1. `TRELLO_GET_SEARCH` - Search by query string [Required] **Key parameters**: - `query`: Search string (supports board:, list:, label:, is:open/archived operators) - `modelTypes`: Set to 'cards' - `partial`: Set to 'true' for prefix matching **Pitfalls**: - Search indexing has delay; newly created cards may not appear for several minutes - For exact name matching, use TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_CARDS_BY_ID_BOARD and filter locally - Query uses word tokenization; common words may be ignored as stop words ### 6. Add Comments and Attachments **When to use**: User wants to add context to an existing card **Tool sequence**: 1. `TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_ACTIONS_COMMENTS_BY_ID_CARD` - Post a comment on the card [Required] 2. `TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_ATTACHMENTS_BY_ID_CARD` - Attach a file or URL [Optional] **Key parameters**: - `text`: Comment text (1-16384 chars, supports Markdown and @mentions) - `url` OR `file`: Attachment source (not both) - `name`: Attachment display name - `mimeType`: File MIME type **Pitfalls**: - Comments don't support file attachments; use the attachment tool separately - Attachment deletion is irreversible ## Common Patterns ### ID Resolution Always resolve display names to IDs before operations: - **Board name → Board ID**: `TRELLO_GET_MEMBERS_BOARDS_BY_ID_MEMBER` with idMember='me' - **List name → List ID**: `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_LISTS_BY_ID_BOARD` with resolved board ID - **Card name → Card ID**: `TRELLO_GET_SEARCH` with query string - **Member name → Member ID**: `TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_MEMBERS_BY_ID_BOARD` ### Pagination Most list endpoints return all items. For boards with 1000+ cards, use `limit` and `before` parameters on card listing endpoints. ### Rate Limits 300 requests per 10 seconds per token. Use `TRELLO_GET_BATCH` for bulk read operations to stay within limits. ## Known Pitfalls - **ID Requirements**: Nearly every tool requires IDs, not display names. Always resolve names to IDs first. - **Board ID Format**: Board IDs must be 24-char hex or 8-char shortLink. URL slugs like 'my-board' are NOT valid. - **Search Delays**: Search indexing has delays; newly created/updated cards may not appear immediately. - **Nested Responses**: Response data is often nested (data.data or data.details[]); parse defensively. - **Rate Limiting**: 300 req/10s per token. Batch reads with TRELLO_GET_BATCH. ## Quick Reference | Task | Tool Slug | Key Params | |------|-----------|------------| | List user's boards | TRELLO_GET_MEMBERS_BOARDS_BY_ID_MEMBER | idMember='me', filter='open' | | Get board details | TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_BY_ID_BOARD | idBoard (24-char hex) | | List board lists | TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_LISTS_BY_ID_BOARD | idBoard | | Create card | TRELLO_ADD_CARDS | idList, name, desc, pos, due | | Update card | TRELLO_UPDATE_CARDS_BY_ID_CARD | idCard, idList (to move) | | Search cards | TRELLO_GET_SEARCH | query, modelTypes='cards' | | Add checklist | TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_CHECKLISTS_BY_ID_CARD | idCard, name | | Add comment | TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_ACTIONS_COMMENTS_BY_ID_CARD | idCard, text | | Assign member | TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_ID_MEMBERS_BY_ID_CARD | idCard, value (member ID) | | Attach file/URL | TRELLO_ADD_CARDS_ATTACHMENTS_BY_ID_CARD | idCard, url OR file | | Get board members | TRELLO_GET_BOARDS_MEMBERS_BY_ID_BOARD | idBoard | | Batch read | TRELLO_GET_BATCH | urls (comma-separated paths) | ## When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. --- ## AGI Framework Integration > **Adapted for [@techwavedev/agi-agent-kit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@techwavedev/agi-agent-kit)** > Original source: [antigravity-awesome-skills](https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills) ### Memory-First Protocol Cache workflow configurations and automation patterns. Retrieve prior pipeline designs to avoid re-building similar flows from scratch. ```bash # Check for prior workflow/automation context before starting python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "automation patterns and workflow configurations for Trello Automation" ``` ### Storing Results After completing work, store workflow/automation decisions for future sessions: ```bash python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \ --content "Workflow: automated data pipeline with retry logic, dead-letter queue, and Slack alerts on failure" \ --type technical --project \ --tags trello-automation workflow ``` ### Multi-Agent Collaboration Share workflow state with other agents so they can trigger, monitor, or extend the automation. ```bash python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \ --agent "" \ --action "Workflow automation deployed — pipeline processing 1000+ events/day with 99.9% success rate" \ --project ``` ### Playbook Engine Combine this skill with others using the Playbook Engine (`execution/workflow_engine.py`) for guided multi-step automation with progress tracking. --- Source attribution: techwavedev Original project: https://github.com/techwavedev/agi-agent-kit/blob/58f5d95434a1adc8b41a4f391d32d95311e54936/templates/skills/extended/workflow/trello-automation/SKILL.md License: Apache-2.0 License information: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004 http://www.apache.org/licenses/ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION 1.
