Todoist MCP server & Claude connector

Does Todoist have an official MCP server or Claude connector?

Official

As of October 2026, Doist, the maker of Todoist, publishes an official MCP server in its github.com/Doist/todoist-mcp repository, hosted at ai.todoist.net/mcp. Anthropic's connector directory lists it as Anthropic verified and made by Doist. It signs in with OAuth; the repository also supports a local mode with an API token. No read-only mode was found.

    "mcpServers": {
        "todoist": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://ai.todoist.net/mcp"]
        }

VS Code

Command Palette > MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP.

Safety check

  • Pass

    Publisher verified

    Repository is under the Doist GitHub organization (Doist makes Todoist); the README names https://ai.todoist.net/mcp as the hosted URL, and Anthropic's directory lists the connector as made by Doist with the same URL.

  • Pass

    Auth model

    Remote server uses OAuth. The same repo can run locally with a TODOIST_API_KEY token, which is a long-lived account token.

  • Flag

    Write and delete access

    Exposes add, update, complete and delete-object tools (marked destructiveHint in source); no read-only mode was found in the README or source reviewed.

  • Pass

    Tool-description injection scan

    Read the source of the delete-object tool and the README, and screened all 99 files under src/tools with Jev (highest score 0.04); nothing addressed to an AI that changes its behavior. The hosted server's live descriptions were not inspected.

  • Pass

    Repo maintenance

    Last push 2026-10-16; not archived; 559 stars; MIT (gh api, 2026-10-18). Repository was renamed from todoist-ai; README says early stages.
