If you already use Todoist MCP Python, the todoist mcp python mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows clients like Claude to interact with Todoist, enabling task management capabilities through natural language. The server acts as an intermediary between clients and the Todoist API.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Required — content (title of the task)Optional — - description,Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Configuration is passed through the environment: TODOIST_API_TOKEN, YOUR_API_TOKEN. 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 MCP Python's toolset — Required, Optional — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Johnxjp; 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.

Then add to your Claude config file:
```
{
"mcpServers": {
"todoist-server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--with",
"mcp[cli]",
"--with",
"todoist_api_python",
"mcp",
"run",
"/full/path/to/todoist_server.py"
],
"env": {
"TODOIST_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| TODOIST_API_TOKEN | Credential the server authenticates with. | Yes |
| YOUR_API_TOKEN | Credential the server authenticates with. | Yes |
