## Configuration

You'll need a Todoist API token to use this MCP server.

### Getting a Todoist API Token

1. Log in to your Todoist account
2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations
3. Find your API token under "Developer"

### Usage

Add to `mcpServers` in your platform config:

```json
"todoist": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "todoist-mcp"],
    "env": { "API_KEY": "your_todoist_api_token" }
}
```

| Platform | Config |
|----------|--------|
| Claude Desktop | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS), `%APPDATA%\Claude\` (Windows) |
| Claude Code | `.mcp.json` — `claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project --env API_KEY=token todoist -- npx -y todoist-mcp` |
| Cursor | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or `.cursor/mcp.json` |
| Codex | `~/.codex/config.toml` or `.codex/config.toml` — see example below |
| Gemini CLI | `~/.gemini/settings.json` — `gemini mcp add -e API_KEY=token todoist npx -y todoist-mcp` |

**Codex** — CLI:

```bash
codex mcp add todoist --env API_KEY=your_token -- npx -y todoist-mcp
```

Or add to `config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.todoist]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "todoist-mcp"]

[mcp_servers.todoist.env]
API_KEY = "your_todoist_api_token"
```
