# Todoist MCP server > Manage Todoist tasks, projects and labels from your AI assistant, with OAuth sign-in to your own account. - Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/todoist - Connect: use the server's own URL `https://ai.todoist.net/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint. - Type: remote (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth sign-in - Category: [Productivity & Projects](https://mcp.tc/c/productivity) - Vendor: Doist - Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe. - Homepage: - Repository: - Package: npm `@doist/todoist-mcp` ## About Connects an AI assistant to a Todoist account so it can read and modify tasks, projects and related data on the user's behalf. The tools are designed around complete workflows rather than single atomic actions. It also includes search and fetch tools that follow the OpenAI MCP specification, and MCP Apps widgets that show task lists inline in supporting clients. Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://ai.todoist.net/mcp with OAuth sign-in (scope data:read\_write). It can also be run locally with npx @doist/todoist-mcp using a TODOIST\_API\_KEY, or imported as a library into other projects. ## What it can do - Read and modify tasks in a Todoist account - Work with projects and labels - Search and fetch items through OpenAI-compatible tools - Show task lists as inline widgets via MCP Apps - Reuse the tools as a library in other AI SDKs ## Example prompts - "Add a task to buy groceries tomorrow at 6pm in Todoist" - "What tasks do I have due this week?" - "Create a new Todoist project for the website redesign" - "Show my tasks labeled urgent" ## Install ### Claude Code 1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http todoist https://ai.todoist.net/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **todoist** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Doist sign-in. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Todoist** and paste this URL: ```url https://ai.todoist.net/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Doist asks. Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too. ### claude.ai 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://ai.todoist.net/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Doist asks. Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**. ### ChatGPT 1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**. 2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server. 3. Paste `https://ai.todoist.net/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Doist to sign in. Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. ### Cursor [Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "todoist": { "url": "https://ai.todoist.net/mcp" } } } ``` Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"todoist","type":"http","url":"https://ai.todoist.net/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "todoist": { "type": "http", "url": "https://ai.todoist.net/mcp" } } } ``` VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts. ### Devin Desktop 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "todoist": { "serverUrl": "https://ai.todoist.net/mcp" } } } ``` 2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked. Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers. ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add todoist --url https://ai.todoist.net/mcp codex mcp login todoist ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.todoist] url = "https://ai.todoist.net/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http todoist https://ai.todoist.net/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth todoist` to sign in. This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere. ### Any client Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file. ```json { "mcpServers": { "todoist": { "type": "http", "url": "https://ai.todoist.net/mcp" } } } ``` Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE. Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://ai.todoist.net/mcp`. ## Details - Server version: 1.0.0 - Last checked: 2026-10-03 (reachable, asks for credentials) - Listed: 2026-10-03 - Updated: 2026-10-04 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/todoist (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
