What is the Gtasks MCP MCP server?

Gtasks MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. MCP server for interacting with Google Tasks.

What you get

This MCP server integrates with Google Tasks to allow listing, reading, searching, creating, updating, and deleting tasks.

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What the assistant can call

Once Gtasks MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • search — Search for tasks in Google Tasks
  • Input — query (string): Search query
  • list — List all tasks in Google Tasks
  • create — Create a new task in Google Tasks
  • update — Update an existing task in Google Tasks
  • delete — Delete a task in Google Tasks
  • clear — Clear completed tasks from a Google Tasks task list
  • Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server
  • Resources — The Resources tool exposed by this server
  • Authentication — 1. Run the server with the auth argument: npm run start auth 2. This will open an authentication flow in your system browser 3. Complete the

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 10 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Gtasks MCP.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the gtasks mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Gtasks MCP's toolset — search, Input, list and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by zcaceres; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Gtasks MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
