Best for
  • Individuals or teams already using Trello for task management who want to manipulate cards and lists conversationally via Claude Desktop or Cursor
  • Developers who want quick Trello access from Claude Desktop or any SSE-capable MCP client
  • Individuals who want to talk to Claude from their personal WhatsApp number
  • Developers comfortable configuring from a terminal and using the Claude Code development flag
  • Automation scenarios needing remote tool approval from a phone
Not for
  • Users who need to create, rename, or delete entire boards (not supported)
  • Users without a Trello API Key/Token or without access to the Trello Power-Up admin page
  • Scenarios requiring official Trello/Atlassian support or enterprise-grade security auditing
  • Compliance scenarios requiring the official WhatsApp Business API or a Meta developer account
  • Teams needing officially hosted, multi-tenant, or cloud multi-instance deployment
  • Environments unable to guarantee only one client instance at a time
  • Users expecting voice transcription without setting up mlx-whisper themselves
Required permissions
  • A Trello API Key and Token (account-level access to read/write boards, lists, cards, and checklists the account can access)
  • Local .env file storing credentials in plaintext
  • Network access to call the Trello API, and (in SSE mode) an open local HTTP port
  • Read and send WhatsApp messages as your personal number
  • Access the local runtime state directory ~/.whatsapp-channel/ (auth, allowlists, group configs, inbox)
  • Read and write local repository files and run scripts (e.g. bun scripts/access.ts, scripts/watchdog.sh)
  • Optional local voice transcription (ffmpeg and an mlx-whisper environment)
Risks and side effects
  • API Key and Token are stored in plaintext in the .env file — leakage grants full control over the Trello account
  • Delete/archive operations on lists, cards, checklists, and checklist items are irreversible
  • SSE mode exposes a local HTTP endpoint; the README does not mention any built-in authentication for it
  • This is a community-maintained third-party server, not reviewed or endorsed by Trello/Atlassian
  • Messages Claude sends appear from your own number and are indistinguishable to recipients
  • WhatsApp allows one linked-device session per account; running two servers makes them kick each other off
  • Access-control commands are deliberately not MCP tools (terminal-only); exposing them to the message side risks prompt injection
  • Session waking depends on the Claude Code channel extension; other clients get no push
  • A known Claude Code client bug (#37933) may cause messages not to arrive, a client-side issue
  • Launching with --dangerously-load-development-channels carries risk, so verify the source is trustworthy
