The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI tools interact with external services. Trilo’s MCP server gives your AI coding assistant direct access to your workspace — create tasks, read pages, send messages, and more without leaving your editor.

​
What You Can Do

Once connected, your AI tool can interact with your entire Trilo workspace:
CategoryExample Prompts
Tasks”Create a bug report for the login issue” / “What tasks are assigned to me?”
Pages”Write an implementation plan and save it as a page” / “Update the API docs page”
Messages”Send a status update to the backend channel” / “What did the team discuss today?”
Calendar”Schedule a design review for Friday at 2pm” / “What meetings do I have this week?”
Meetings”Summarize the standup transcript” / “Search meetings for discussion about auth”
Spreadsheets”Create a sprint tracking spreadsheet” / “Update the budget numbers”
Members”Who’s on the mobile project?” / “Add Sarah to the backend project”
Knowledge Base”Search our docs for the deployment guide” / “Find resources about onboarding”

​
Authentication

Trilo supports two authentication methods for MCP connections:
MethodBest ForSetup
OAuth 2.1Claude Code, Claude DesktopAuthorize in your browser — no token needed
Personal Access Token (PAT)All clients, CI/CD, scriptsGenerate in Trilo settings, pass as Bearer token
Use OAuth when available. It’s more secure (no token to manage) and easier to set up. Claude Code and Claude Desktop both support OAuth natively.

​
Token Scopes

When creating a PAT, you choose which scopes to grant:
ScopePermissions
mcp:readList and read workspaces, projects, tasks, pages, messages, members, events, meetings, resources, spreadsheets
mcp:writeEverything in mcp:read plus create and update tasks, pages, messages, events, spreadsheets, and project members
mcp:adminEverything in mcp:write plus administrative operations
For most development workflows, mcp:read and mcp:write together provide full access to all tools. Use mcp:read alone if you only want your AI tool to read data without making changes.
