-### Docker Installation (Recommended)
+### Quick Start with pnpx (Recommended)
 
-The easiest way to run the server is using Docker:
+The easiest way to use the Trello MCP server is with `pnpx`, which doesn't require a global install:
 
-1. Clone the repository:
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/delorenj/mcp-server-trello
-cd mcp-server-trello
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "trello": {
+      "command": "pnpx",
+      "args": ["@delorenj/mcp-server-trello"],

+        "TRELLO_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
+        "TRELLO_TOKEN": "your-token"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
 ```
 
-2. Copy the environment template and fill in your Trello credentials:
+Or if you're using mise:
+
+```json

+  "mcpServers": {
+    "trello": {
+      "command": "mise",

+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Don't have pnpm?
+
+The simplest way to get `pnpm` (and thus `pnpx`) is through [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/):
+
 ```bash
-cp .env.template .env
+# Install mise (if you don't have it)
+curl https://mise.run | sh
+
+# Install pnpm with mise
+mise install pnpm
 ```
 
-3. Build and run with Docker Compose:
+### Installing via npm
+
+If you prefer using npm directly:
+
 ```bash
-docker compose up --build
+npm install -g @delorenj/mcp-server-trello
 ```
 
+Then use `mcp-server-trello` as the command in your MCP configuration.

+Starting with version 0.3.0, the MCP server supports multiple ways to work with boards:
+
+1. **Multi-board support**: All methods now accept an optional `boardId` parameter
+   - Omit `TRELLO_BOARD_ID` and provide `boardId` in each API call
+   - Set `TRELLO_BOARD_ID` as default and optionally override with `boardId` parameter
 
-- The `TRELLO_BOARD_ID` in your `.env` file is used as the initial board ID when the server starts
-- You can change the active board at any time using the `set_active_board` tool
-- The selected board persists between server restarts (stored in `~/.trello-mcp/config.json`)
-- Similarly, you can set and persist an active workspace using `set_active_workspace`
+2. **Dynamic board selection**: Use workspace management tools
+   - The `TRELLO_BOARD_ID` in your `.env` file is used as the initial/default board ID
+   - You can change the active board at any time using the `set_active_board` tool
+   - The selected board persists between server restarts (stored in `~/.trello-mcp/config.json`)
+   - Similarly, you can set and persist an active workspace using `set_active_workspace`

+## Integration Examples
+
+### 🎨 Pairing with Ideogram MCP Server
+
+The Trello MCP server pairs beautifully with [@flowluap/ideogram-mcp-server](https://github.com/flowluap/ideogram-mcp-server) for AI-powered visual content creation. Generate images with Ideogram and attach them directly to your Trello cards!
+
+![Ideogram + Trello Integration Example](https://ss.delo.sh/hosted/20250717-0619.png)
+
+#### Example Workflow
+
+1. **Generate an image with Ideogram:**
+```typescript
+// Using ideogram-mcp-server
+{
+  name: 'generate_image',
+  arguments: {
+    prompt: "A futuristic dashboard design with neon accents",
+    aspect_ratio: "16:9"
+  }
+}
+// Returns: { image_url: "https://..." }
+```
+
+2. **Attach the generated image to a Trello card:**
+```typescript
+// Using trello-mcp-server
+{
+  name: 'attach_image_to_card',
+  arguments: {
+    cardId: "your-card-id",
+    imageUrl: "https://...", // URL from Ideogram
+    name: "Dashboard Mockup v1"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Setting up both servers
+
+Add both servers to your Claude Desktop configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "trello": {
+      "command": "pnpx",
+      "args": ["@delorenj/mcp-server-trello"],
+      "env": {
+        "TRELLO_API_KEY": "your-trello-api-key",
+        "TRELLO_TOKEN": "your-trello-token"
+      }
+    },
+    "ideogram": {
+      "command": "pnpx",
+      "args": ["@flowluap/ideogram-mcp-server"],

+        "IDEOGRAM_API_KEY": "your-ideogram-api-key"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now you can seamlessly create visual content and organize it in Trello, all within Claude!
