# Todoist MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with
Todoist, enabling AI assistants to manage tasks, projects, labels, sections, and
comments through the Todoist API.

## Configuration

This server requires a Todoist API token to function.

1. **Get your API token:**
   - Go to
     [Todoist Settings](https://app.todoist.com/app/settings/integrations/developer).
   - Scroll down to the "API token" section.
   - Copy your personal API token.

2. **Configure your MCP client:** Add the server to your MCP client
   configuration, making sure to include your API token. For Claude Desktop, you
   would add one of the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

   #### Docker

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "todoist": {
         "command": "docker",
         "args": [
           "run",
           "-i",
           "--rm",
           "-e",
           "TODOIST_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here",
           "ghcr.io/ganievs/todoist-mcp-server:latest"
         ]
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   #### NPX

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "todoist": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "-y",
           "@ganiev/todoist-mcp-server"
         ],
         "env": {
           "TODOIST_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

## Usage

Once configured, you can use natural language to interact with Todoist through
your MCP client:

- "Create a task to buy groceries with high priority"
- "List all my projects"
- "Add a comment to the task about the meeting"
- "Create a new project for my vacation planning"
- "Show me all tasks with the 'urgent' label"

## Development

1. **Clone the repository:**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/ganievs/todoist-mcp-server.git
   cd todoist-mcp-server
   ```

2. **Install dependencies:**

   ```

3. **Run the linter:**

TDQS

B3.1/5.0

Scored across 27 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action. There is no overlap in purpose; for example, add_task and add_project operate on different resources, and get_task vs list_tasks are clearly separated.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., add_task, delete_comment, list_projects). The verbs and nouns are standardized, making it easy to predict the naming for any missing operation.

Tool Count4/5

27 tools is on the higher end but appropriate given the number of resource types (task, project, section, label, comment) with full CRUD plus extras like close/reopen and collaborators. It could potentially be trimmed but is still well-scoped.

Completeness4/5

The set covers all major CRUD lifecycle for tasks, projects, sections, labels, and comments, plus close/reopen for tasks. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no move_task or assign_task) but the core workflows are complete.
