Todoist MCP server

Todoist × Claude

Use the Todoist MCP server
in Claude

Your Todoist tasks and projects, managed in plain language. This guide connects Todoist to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Live-probed · Security-scanned · OAuth sign-in

Setup: Todoist in Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect Todoist to it from the verified directory (one click).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something Todoist can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

What to ask once it’s connected

What's on my plate today?
Add 'book flights' to my travel project, due Friday.
Move all overdue tasks to tomorrow.
What did I get done this week?

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Todoist connection works in Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Todoist exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude did with Todoist — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Todoist passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
