Safety notes

Trello MCP Server can create, read, update, move, archive, and delete board data depending on token permissions and requested tools., Card, checklist, label, due-date, start-date, comment, attachment, board, list, workspace, and active-board changes can affect real team workflows., File attachments are added from URLs; review source URLs and destination cards before allowing an agent to attach files., Use `TRELLO_ALLOWED_WORKSPACES` to limit workspace access, especially when a token can see personal, client, or production boards., Require confirmation before creating boards, adding attachments, deleting or archiving cards, changing due dates, moving cards between lists, or posting comments on behalf of a user.

Privacy notes

Trello API keys, tokens, board IDs, workspace IDs, card IDs, member names, labels, comments, checklists, attachments, due dates, and activity logs can be exposed to the MCP client., Active board and workspace selections may persist locally in Trello MCP configuration., Card descriptions, comments, attachments, and activity histories can contain private customer, roadmap, incident, or operational data., Proxy settings, Trello credentials, and workspace allowlists should be kept out of shared MCP configs, logs, screenshots, and transcripts., Response previews reduce some large card-description exposure, but full-card and activity tools can still return sensitive Trello content.

Safety notes	✓Trello MCP Server can create, read, update, move, archive, and delete board data depending on token permissions and requested tools. Card, checklist, label, due-date, start-date, comment, attachment, board, list, workspace, and active-board changes can affect real team workflows. File attachments are added from URLs; review source URLs and destination cards before allowing an agent to attach files. Use `TRELLO_ALLOWED_WORKSPACES` to limit workspace access, especially when a token can see personal, client, or production boards. Require confirmation before creating boards, adding attachments, deleting or archiving cards, changing due dates, moving cards between lists, or posting comments on behalf of a user.	✓Todoist MCP Server can create, update, delete, complete, reopen, reorder, archive, and bulk-modify tasks, subtasks, projects, sections, labels, comments, reminders, filters, shared labels, and collaboration state. Bulk create, bulk update, bulk delete, bulk complete, project deletion, section deletion, label deletion, reminder changes, and duplicate merge operations can alter many Todoist records at once. Dry-run mode simulates mutation operations but still queries real Todoist data for validation. Pro and Business features such as reminders, filters, shared labels, collaboration, backups, and workspace operations may expose or modify team data. Require confirmation before deleting tasks or projects, changing due dates in bulk, completing groups of tasks, modifying shared projects, creating reminders, downloading backups, or changing collaboration state.	✓Memory Bank MCP can read, create, and update files inside the configured memory-bank root. Do not point `MEMORY_BANK_ROOT` at a home directory, source repository root, cloud-sync folder, or any directory containing secrets. Avoid auto-approving write and update tools until the expected file structure and naming rules are established. The path validator rejects path traversal and slash-containing file/project names, but users should still keep the root directory narrow and dedicated. Docker mode requires a bind mount for the memory bank; review the host path and container path before granting write access.	✓Anki MCP Server can create, update, delete, move, tag, rate, and sync cards and notes through AnkiConnect. Destructive tools include note deletion, media deletion, unused-tag clearing, deck moves, tag replacement, model styling changes, and review rating actions that affect scheduling. The server supports read-only mode that blocks exposed write actions, but users should still review tool calls before enabling unrestricted study or collection-management workflows. Media tools can store files from local paths, URLs, or base64 data and can retrieve media as base64 content. GUI tools can open Anki windows, select cards, edit notes, show answers, and undo the last Anki action. Remote tunnel or ngrok-style setups expose local Anki to cloud-hosted AI clients and require careful authentication, origin, and URL-sharing controls.
Privacy notes	✓Trello API keys, tokens, board IDs, workspace IDs, card IDs, member names, labels, comments, checklists, attachments, due dates, and activity logs can be exposed to the MCP client. Active board and workspace selections may persist locally in Trello MCP configuration. Card descriptions, comments, attachments, and activity histories can contain private customer, roadmap, incident, or operational data. Proxy settings, Trello credentials, and workspace allowlists should be kept out of shared MCP configs, logs, screenshots, and transcripts. Response previews reduce some large card-description exposure, but full-card and activity tools can still return sensitive Trello content.	✓Todoist API tokens, task IDs, project IDs, section IDs, label IDs, reminder IDs, comment IDs, user IDs, collaborator details, activity logs, completed tasks, backups, and productivity statistics can be exposed to the MCP client. Task names, descriptions, comments, due dates, deadlines, labels, reminders, attachments, project notes, and completed-task history can contain private work or personal planning data. Bulk and filter tools may reveal larger slices of a Todoist workspace than a single-task request. Backup download tools can expose a broad historical snapshot of Todoist data. Keep Todoist tokens in local MCP configuration only, and avoid sharing MCP logs, dry-run traces, or transcripts that include private task or project data.	✓Memory-bank files can contain project plans, architecture notes, decisions, credentials accidentally pasted into notes, customer context, meeting details, or personal information. Tool calls may expose project names, file names, memory contents, root-path assumptions, and update text to the MCP client and model provider. Multi-project listing can reveal all projects stored under the memory-bank root. Auto-approved memory tools can persist model-generated statements as project memory without human review. Back up important memory-bank directories and review retention expectations before sharing them across clients or machines.	✓Tool calls can expose deck names, note fields, card contents, tags, review history, media filenames, base64 media, selected notes, collection stats, scheduling metadata, and AnkiConnect errors. Flashcards may contain medical, language-learning, school, work, personal, customer, or confidential study material. Sync can send Anki collection changes to AnkiWeb according to the user's Anki account and sync settings. Local media file paths, URLs imported into cards, and GUI-selected note IDs can enter MCP client context and model logs. Remote tunnel providers and hosted clients may process connection metadata or traffic according to their own policies.
Prerequisites	Trello API key and token with access to the boards and workspaces Claude may use. Bun-compatible published package runtime or an MCP client that can launch the packaged stdio server through npx. Optional `TRELLO_BOARD_ID` or `TRELLO_WORKSPACE_ID` when a default board or workspace should be selected at startup. Optional `TRELLO_ALLOWED_WORKSPACES` to constrain the token to specific approved Trello workspaces.	Todoist API token from Todoist integrations developer settings. Node.js 18 or newer for the npm stdio server. Review of whether the token has access to personal, shared, Pro, Business, or workspace features. Optional `DRYRUN=true` for simulating mutation tools while still validating against real Todoist data.	Node.js and npm available for `npx`. A dedicated memory-bank root directory, separate from source repositories and secrets. Project-specific subdirectories created under `MEMORY_BANK_ROOT`. MCP client approval rules reviewed before allowing write or update operations.	Anki Desktop installed and running. The AnkiConnect add-on installed in Anki. Node.js 22.12 or newer for the npm package path. Review of which decks, cards, tags, media files, and note types the MCP client may access.
