The official Todoist MCP server
The official Todoist MCP server. That is what the todoist mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Library for connecting AI agents to Todoist. Includes tools that can be integrated into LLMs, enabling them to access and modify a Todoist account on the user's behalf.
The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:
Cursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverThe server ships on npm as @doist/todoist-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Configuration is passed through the environment: TODOIST_API_KEY. 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.
Among the planning and project tracking options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Todoist's toolset — Cursor — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Todoist's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
