Integrates Todoist with Large Language Models (LLMs) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Todoist MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Integrates Todoist with Large Language Models (LLMs) via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Connect this Model Context Protocol server to your LLM to interact with Todoist.
Once Todoist is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Collaboration — The Collaboration tool exposed by this serverSmithery — Install Todoist MCP on Claude Desktop using Smithery:Glama — The Glama tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: TODOIST_API_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
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.
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. Todoist's toolset — Collaboration, Smithery, Glama — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by miottid; 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.
