Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

Todoist MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that integrates Claude with Todoist, allowing users to manage tasks using natural language commands.

To use Todoist MCP Server, install it via npm and configure it with your Todoist API token. You can then issue commands using natural language to create, update, complete, or delete tasks.

  • Natural Language Task Management: Easily manage tasks using everyday language. - Smart Task Search: Find tasks with partial name matches. - Flexible Filtering: Filter tasks by due date, priority, and other attributes. - Rich Task Details: Support for various task properties like description and due date. - Intuitive Error Handling: Provides clear feedback for a better user experience.
  1. Creating tasks like 'Add task 'Review PR' due tomorrow'.
  2. Updating existing tasks using natural language prompts.
  3. Marking tasks as complete through spoken commands.
