uv tool install trello-mcp-server

# Using pip

```

### 2. Get API Key

Visit https://trello.com/power-ups/admin/new and create a Power-Up to get your API key (free, takes seconds).

### 3. Configure MCP Client

Add to your MCP settings configuration file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trello": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["trello-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TRELLO_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
