Todoist MCP Server

Todoist MCP Server (Python)

A Todoist MCP server written in Python, using the Todoist Python API. I first created the server by using Claude to translate this TypeScript Todoist MCP server to Python. I'm gradually changing and adding functionality to suit my workflow as I experiment with using Claude to help with task management.

Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+
UV package manager (installation guide)
Todoist API token

Getting a Todoist API Token

Log in to your Todoist account
Go to Settings → Integrations
Find your API token under "Developer"

Configuration with Claude Desktop

Add the MCP server to your claude_desktop_config.json,

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "todoist": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/mikemc/todoist-mcp-server",
        "todoist-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TODOIST_API_TOKEN": "your_todoist_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or, to run from a local copy,

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "todoist": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "/absolute/path/to/todoist-mcp-server",
        "todoist-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TODOIST_API_TOKEN": "your_todoist_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
