Frequently asked questions

What are the prerequisites for MCP Todoist?

Python 3.11+, Astral UV, a Todoist account with an API token, and Claude Desktop.

How do I get my Todoist API token?

Obtain it from the Todoist Integrations settings page at https://app.todoist.com/app/settings/integrations/developer.

Can MCP Todoist be run without Claude Desktop?

The server itself can be started via command line, but it is designed for use with Claude Desktop as an MCP server.

How is the API token configured?

Set the `TODOIST_API_TOKEN` environment variable — either in your shell, in a `.env` file for local development, or inside a startup script used by Claude Desktop.

What should I do if the server is not available?

Ensure the server is running in a separate terminal or via a startup script, verify your API token is valid, and check that Astral UV is installed and in your PATH.
