Todoist MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the Todoist API v1. Provides 44 tools with read-only/write annotations so Claude Desktop groups them correctly.
Install in Claude Desktop (recommended)
Download or build todoist-mcp-server.mcpb, then double-click it (or drag it into Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions). Claude Desktop will prompt for your Todoist API Token during install.
Get your API token from: https://app.todoist.com/app/settings/integrations/developer
Build the .mcpb from source
Requires just (brew install just):
just bundleThat installs deps, compiles, stages a clean dependency tree, and packs todoist-mcp-server.mcpb at the repo root. Other recipes: just build, just run, just clean. Run just with no args to list them all.

Notes
Filters: The Todoist API v1 does not expose filter CRUD. The
add-filters/update-filterstools return guidance to use the Todoist app. Usefind-taskswith parameters for filter-like behavior.Reminders: Require Todoist Pro plan. The tools work correctly but will return HTTP 403 on free accounts.
Tool annotations: All tools include
readOnlyHint/destructiveHintso Claude Desktop groups them into read-only, write, and destructive categories.
