Todoist MCP Server

A TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Todoist task management capabilities to AI assistants. This MCP server is built for use with Claude Desktop and operates over stdio.

Note: This MCP server is tailored to my specific workflow with Todoist and may not align with how others use the tool.
