Get all boards accessible to the current user. This is the starting point for exploring your Trello workspace.
get_board_details
Get information about a Trello board. IMPORTANT: Start with includeDetails=false (default) to get board metadata and lists only. Then use get_card or trello_get_list_cards to drill into specific cards. Only set includeDetails=true for small boards when you need a full overview.
get_card
Get detailed information about a specific Trello card, including its content, status, members, and attachments.
trello_get_card_by_number
Find a card on a board by its board-local number, the "#N" Trello shows on the card (its idShort). Use this to resolve a number a person quoted, such as "card #168", into a real card without needing its ID or URL. Card numbers are unique within a board but not across boards, so the board must be given.
create_card
Create a new card in a Trello list. Use this to add tasks, ideas, or items to your workflow.
update_card
Update properties of an existing Trello card. Use this to change card details like name, description, due date, or status.
move_card
Move a card to a different list. Use this to change a card's workflow status (e.g., from "To Do" to "In Progress").
trello_add_comment
Add a comment to a Trello card. Use this to add notes, updates, or discussions to cards.
trello_update_comment
Edit the text of an existing comment on a Trello card. Takes the action ID of the comment, which is the "id" field that trello_get_card_actions and trello_get_board_actions return for a commentCard action, and that trello_add_comment returns when the comment is created. Only comments can be edited, and only ones written by the authenticated member.
trello_delete_comment
Permanently delete a comment from a Trello card. Takes the action ID of the comment, the same "id" that trello_get_card_actions, trello_get_board_actions and trello_add_comment return for a commentCard action. Only comments can be deleted, and only ones written by the authenticated member. Trello offers no undo for this, so prefer trello_update_comment when the intent is to correct rather than remove.
