Google Tasks MCP Server

Connect an MCP-compatible client to Google Tasks through a private server you run yourself. The server exposes compact tools for reading, searching, summarizing, creating, completing, updating, deleting, and moving Google Tasks. That is what the google tasks mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 2 tools. What each one is for:

• Group — Tools
• Tasklists — list_tasklists, create_tasklist, get_tasklist, update_tasklist, delete_tasklist

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: MCP_BEARER_TOKEN, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GOOGLE_OAUTH_KEYS_PATH, BIND_HOST, MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, MCP_OAUTH_SIGNING_SECRET. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

• Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Google Tasks MCP's toolset — Group, Tasklists — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ebmurha; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
