Overview
What is Todoist MCP Server?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates Claude with Todoist, enabling natural language task management. It allows Claude to create, read, update, complete, and delete Todoist tasks using everyday language rather than direct API calls.
How to use Todoist MCP Server?
Install globally via npm: npm install -g @abhiz123/todoist-mcp-server. Then add a todoist entry to your claude_desktop_config.json with the command npx -y @abhiz123/todoist-mcp-server and provide your Todoist API token in the TODOIST_API_TOKEN environment variable. After configuration, you can interact with tasks using natural language commands through Claude.
