Todoist MCP Server: Let AI Manage Your Tasks

Why Connect AI to Todoist?

Task management is repetitive: triaging new items, reviewing what's overdue, reorganizing priorities after meetings, creating follow-up tasks from notes. An MCP server turns Todoist into a set of tools your AI agent can use directly.

Instead of opening Todoist to check what's due today, ask your AI: "What tasks are due today and which are highest priority?"

What You Can Do

Once your Todoist MCP server is live, your AI agent can:

• List tasks by project, priority, due date, or label
• Create tasks with descriptions, due dates, and priority levels
• View projects and their task counts
• Check overdue items and suggest re-prioritization
• Search across all tasks by keyword or filter
• Mark tasks complete when you confirm they're done

How to Build It

Go to DataFaucet and enter https://app.todoist.com. The cloud browser opens your Todoist dashboard.

Browse normally for 30-60 seconds:

1. View your Today list
2. Open a project and scroll through tasks
3. Click into a few task details
4. Check your upcoming view

DataFaucet captures every API call behind these actions and converts them into MCP tools. Click "Deploy" and your server goes live.

Example Prompts

Daily review: "What's due today? List by priority with project names."

Overdue check: "Which tasks are overdue? How many days past due for each?"

Project status: "How many open tasks in the 'Product Launch' project? What's the next due?"

Batch create: "Create follow-up tasks for: email client about timeline, update project brief, schedule design review. All due next Friday, high priority."

Weekly planning: "Show me everything due this week grouped by project. What can I defer to next week?"

Combine With Other MCP Servers

Todoist gets more powerful paired with your other tools:

• Todoist + Google Calendar MCP: "Cross-reference my calendar with due tasks. Am I double-booked on any deadline days?"
• Todoist + Slack MCP: "Post my top 3 priorities for today to #standup."
• Todoist + Notion MCP: "For each task in the 'Content' project, check if there's a matching draft in Notion."
• Todoist + Jira MCP: "Which Jira tickets have matching Todoist tasks? Sync status."
