The Todoist MCP Server connects your Todoist workspace directly to any AI agent through BusinessMCP's unified hosted MCP endpoint, turning task management into something Claude, GPT, or Gemini can act on rather than just discuss. Instead of manually copying action items into Todoist after a meeting or standup, an agent with access to this server can create, update, complete, and organize tasks in real time — assigning labels, priorities, due dates, and project placement exactly as a team member would, but triggered by natural-language instructions from any connected AI model.
This MCP server for Todoist task management is built for teams and solo operators who already live inside Todoist for personal productivity or lightweight team coordination, and who want AI agents to read and write tasks without brittle Zapier chains or custom API glue code. Because BusinessMCP exposes it through a single /api/mcp endpoint secured with a Bearer mcph_* key, you connect Todoist once and every downstream agent — whether it's a customer-support bot triaging follow-ups, a sales assistant logging next steps, or an internal ops agent managing recurring checklists — gets consistent, governed access to the same task data. There's no per-agent integration to maintain, and no vendor lock-in to a single AI provider since the setup is fully model-agnostic.
Beyond task creation, the Todoist integration supports label-based and priority-based organization, letting agents triage inbound requests into the right project, tag urgent items, and reorganize backlogs based on shifting priorities. Paired with BusinessMCP's business-intelligence dashboard, task activity flowing through the hosted MCP server becomes visible alongside your other connected tools — so you can see, for example, how many tasks an agent generated from support tickets, or how task completion trends correlate with campaign timing pulled from your ad platforms. That cross-tool visibility is the core of BusinessMCP's pitch: one hosted MCP server unifying your tools, databases, and revenue data, rather than a dozen disconnected point integrations.
Teams often pair this Todoist MCP server with project and knowledge tools already in the catalog — Linear or ClickUp for engineering-heavy workflows, Notion or Obsidian for documentation that feeds task creation, and Zapier when you need to bridge into apps outside the MCP ecosystem. Because the server is cookieless and GDPR-friendly by design, it's suitable for regulated teams that still want agentic task automation without compromising on data handling. Whether you're automating recurring personal to-dos, giving a support agent the ability to spin up follow-up tasks automatically, or building a lightweight team management layer on top of Todoist's existing structure, this integration turns your task list into an actionable surface for AI agents rather than a passive list humans have to maintain by hand.
Set up takes minutes: authenticate your Todoist account through BusinessMCP, and the task management capabilities become instantly available to any AI agent hitting your hosted MCP endpoint — no separate API keys or SDKs to manage per model provider.
Just say it in a thread
No configs, no docs. Once connected, these are the kinds of messages your agents act on.
"Create a new todoist task with an optional project, due date, label, and priority — and give me the highlights."
"Modify an existing task's title, due date, priority, or labels for me, then post a summary in the thread."
"Mark a specified todoist task as completed and flag anything that needs my approval."
What teams use it for
- Auto-create and prioritize Todoist tasks from AI-processed support tickets or emails
- Let a sales or ops agent log follow-up tasks with due dates during live conversations
- Reorganize and relabel a team's Todoist backlog based on shifting project priorities
- Sync meeting-note action items directly into Todoist projects without manual entry
- Surface task completion trends in the BusinessMCP BI dashboard alongside other connected tools

Frequently asked questions
Can any AI model use this Todoist integration, not just one provider?
Yes, BusinessMCP is model-agnostic, so Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible agent can access Todoist through the same hosted /api/mcp endpoint.
Do I need to build a custom integration for each AI agent I use?
No, you connect Todoist once through BusinessMCP and every agent authenticated with your mcph_* Bearer key gets the same task management access.
Does this integration support task organization beyond simple creation?
Yes, agents can update tasks, apply labels, set priorities and due dates, and reorganize items across projects, not just add new to-dos.
