Questions
Can I connect two Trello accounts to Cursor?
Yes. Connect each one in Manyplug under its own name, for example Work and Personal. Cursor can use one of them or all at once.
Will Cursor change anything in Trello without asking?
By default these actions wait for your approval before they run: “Delete a card”. Other changes follow your rules, which you can make stricter per account.
Do I need an official Trello MCP server for this?
No. Manyplug connects to Trello itself with a key or app password you paste into its form, and gives Cursor the tools through one MCP address, together with your other services.
Is it free to connect Cursor to Manyplug?
Yes. New workspaces get 14 days of Pro free, then the free plan keeps going with 150 actions a month and up to 3 connected accounts. No card needed. Paid plans start at $5 a month.
Does Cursor see my passwords or API keys?
No. Keys are entered on Manyplug’s own pages, stored encrypted with a separate key per account, and the AI only receives tool results.
