Full implementation of Todoist Rest API & support Todoist Sync API for MCP server
Full implementation of Todoist Rest API & support Todoist Sync API for 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.
The server ships on npm as 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.
The server publishes 10 tools. What each one is for:
Platform — ConfigCursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.jsonCodex — ~/.codex/config.toml or .codex/config.toml — see example belowUsage — The Usage tool exposed by this serverTasks — The Tasks tool exposed by this serverProjects — The Projects tool exposed by this serverSections — The Sections tool exposed by this serverComments — The Comments tool exposed by this serverLabels — The Labels tool exposed by this serverUtils — The Utils tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: 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.
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 — Platform, Cursor, Codex and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by stanislavlysenko0912; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
