Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcpfortrello CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

MCPforTrello

Public Trello MCP server at mcpfortrello.com. Open source (MIT).

Status: Trello shipped an official MCP server at https://mcp.trello.com/v1. The landing page in src/index.ts and the README direct users there by design — don't "fix" them back to promoting this server. This server still runs for existing connections; no shutdown date is set.

Architecture

  • Cloudflare Workers with @cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider for OAuth 2.1
  • McpAgent Durable Object from agents package for MCP sessions
  • OAuth 2.1 bridges to Trello's /1/authorize token flow
  • Trello credentials stored in encrypted OAuth grant props

Development

pnpm install
pnpm dev          # wrangler dev on localhost:8787
pnpm typecheck    # tsc --noEmit
pnpm test         # vitest
pnpm run deploy   # wrangler deploy — plain `pnpm deploy` hits pnpm's own subcommand and fails

Secrets

Stored in 1Password Claude vault, set via wrangler secret put:

  • TRELLO_API_KEY — from Trello Power-Up registration
  • COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEYopenssl rand -hex 32

Local development: copy .dev.vars.example to .dev.vars and fill in values.

Key Files

  • src/index.ts — OAuthProvider config, landing page, route handlers
  • src/trello-mcp-agent.ts — McpAgent DO, registers all tools
  • src/trello-client.ts — Typed Trello REST API client
  • src/auth/ — OAuth authorize + Trello callback handlers
  • src/tools/ — 13 tool modules, ~43 tools total

Security Rules

  • NEVER commit .dev.vars, API keys, or real Trello data
  • All tool inputs validated with Zod
  • Callback page uses strict CSP + X-Frame-Options: DENY
  • workers_dev: false in wrangler.jsonc — all traffic through custom domain

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
