Use the Todoist MCP server
in VS Code

Your Todoist tasks and projects, managed in plain language. This guide connects Todoist to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) 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 VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. 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 VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use Todoist — logged and governed through your gateway.

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, Cursor 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 VS Code 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.
