TaskMaster Todoist MCP becomes available to MCP clients through the taskmaster todoist mcp mcp server. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Todoist integration, specifically developed for Cursor AI. This server allows Cursor AI assistants to interact with your Todoist tasks directly from your coding environment.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Todoist integration, specifically developed for Cursor AI. This server allows Cursor AI assistants to interact with your Todoist tasks directly from your coding environment.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverSetup — 1. Clone this repository: bash git clone https://github.com/mingolladaniele/todoist-mcp.git cd todoist-mcpget_tasks_tool — The get_tasks_tool tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: TODOIST_API_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Productivity servers pay off through capture: the tasks and notes that never get filed are the ones where opening the app is more friction than the thought is worth. TaskMaster Todoist MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Prerequisites, Setup, get_tasks_tool — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other productivity servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
