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, handling authentication, data transformation, and command processing. This is a Python version

- Task Creation: Create new tasks with required content and optional attributes
- Task Retrieval: Get task by ID or list tasks with filtering options
- Task Management: Update task attributes, mark tasks as complete, delete tasks

- Python 3.12
- uv
- A Todoist account and API token
- Login to your Todoist account
- Go to User Settings -> Integrations -> Developer
- Copy API token

You can run the server directly from GitHub using UVX:

uvx --from https://github.com/Johnxjp/todoist-mcp-python.git mcp-server-todoist

Then add this configuration to your Claude settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "todoist-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--from", "https://github.com/Johnxjp/todoist-mcp-python.git", "mcp-server-todoist" ], "env": { "TODOIST_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN" } } } }

If you prefer to clone the repository, use these commands:

git clone git@github.com:Johnxjp/todoist-mcp-python.git

{ "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" } } } }

The server provides the following tools for Claude to use:
- create_task: Create a new task in Todoist

- Required: content (title of the task)

- Optional:
- description, - due_date, - priority, - project_id, - section_id, - labels

- Optional:

- project_id, - project_name, - task_name, - priority, - labels, - is_overdue, - limit

- Required: task_id

- Optional:
- content, - description, - labels, - priority, - due_date (YYYY-MM-DD), - deadline_date (YYYY-MM-DD)

Here are some examples of how Claude can interact with Todoist through this MCP server:

- "Add a task to buy groceries"
- "Show me all my urgent tasks"
- "What tasks are due today?"
- "Mark the laundry task as done"
- "Change the priority of my dentist appointment to urgent"

- The server securely handles your Todoist API token through environment variables
- Never share your.envfile or expose your API token
- The server runs locally and communicates only with the Todoist API
