From Claude about the connector. Can you fix?

 

The gap isn't "I can't reach the tool" — it's "the tool exists, but its parameter list doesn't include due or member for a checklist item, or member/idMembers for a card at all." I checked this by pulling each tool's actual schema (not just the description) three separate times today. For example, trelloWriteChecklist's update_item action only accepts text, checked, and pos — there's no due or member field in its schema for me to even attempt to pass a value into. Same story on trelloWriteCard: it has create/update/move/archive/mark_done/attach_label/detach_label — no add_member action anywhere.

So the fix isn't a permission toggle on your end — it's that whoever built this specific Trello MCP connector didn't wire up the checkItem-due, checkItem-member, or card-member endpoints, even though Trello's own API supports all three (that's literally how your manual click-through works). That's a code change to the connector itself, not a settings change you can make from that panel.

Hi @Barry Tarter , there are a few 3rd party MCP connectors for Trello, it may be worth doing a search while Trello are continuing to work on theirs...

Hi @Barry Tarter, thanks for the feedback!

Yes, we need to add this capability to our MCP. It's on our roadmap! Will keep you posted once this capability is live in Trello MCP!

If you allow community support, I'll get the feature enabled in 1 day. Do you use GitHub? With the world moving toward MCPs for software, we'll only be able to use yours of it can connect to AI appropriately. 

 

Otherwise, we're better off building (vibe coding) our own project management software.

Thanks for the offering!

Unfortunately we currently don't have a way to allow community support for our product. Apology for the inconvenience.

No worries, when should I check back in to confirm you've completed this?  Can you share a specific date? Thx in advance for your cooperation!

Can you ask the developers? I know you just handle customer support, but they should know as it's on your roadmap! Thx for your prompt reply!

Our developers are currently working on some of the fundamental capabilities related to your request, such as reading members information from a card/board/workspace, etc. This one should be ready for release in the next two weeks.

Regarding checklist items related capabilities, they would be further out.
