Tasks get created, found, updated, completed, and deleted by describing them in ordinary words, with due dates and priority levels handled the same way. Searching works on partial names, so you can say "the dentist one" rather than the exact title. Setup means copying an access key out of your Todoist settings into a short configuration block. Bear in mind the code has sat still since April 2025, roughly fifteen months, and the author has not pointed to a replacement.

Unmaintained · no code changes since April 2025; no successor named

todoist-mcp-server FAQ

Is this project still maintained?

No sign of it. The last code change was April 2025, about fifteen months ago, and no successor is named. The repository is not archived, so it still installs, but nobody appears to be fixing it.

Do I need a paid key?

No paid key. You copy a personal access key from Todoist's own settings, under Integrations, and paste it into your assistant's configuration.

Which apps does it work in?

Claude Desktop, plus other assistants that support MCP servers.

Can I use this to capture to-dos while I am on a call?

Yes — you describe the task in plain words, optionally with a due date and priority, and it lands in your Todoist inbox.

Do I need to know the exact task name to update something?

No. Partial names work, so a rough description is usually enough to find the right task.

How hard is setup?

Easy. Either run a single install command through Smithery or paste a five-line block with your access key into Claude Desktop's settings file.
