Use the Todoist MCP server
in Cursor

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

Setup: Todoist in Cursor

Cursor adds MCP servers via MCP settings or install deep links. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Todoist to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to Cursor' — Cursor opens and asks to install the gateway.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Todoist's tools are now available to Cursor's agent, governed by your rules.

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, Claude Code, ChatGPT, 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 Cursor 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.
