Todoist and AI: Is there an MCP server for Todoist?

Todoist is a task manager for individuals and teams. If you want an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to work with tasks and projects, the first question is: is there an MCP server for it?

In short

Yes. Todoist runs an official MCP server at https://ai.todoist.net/mcp. The source code is open. The assistant reads, creates and updates tasks and projects. The source code also has a delete tool. According to its privacy policy, Todoist processes data in the U.S.

What Todoist offers itself

The MCP server. According to the Todoist help centre, it runs at https://ai.todoist.net/mcp. Any assistant that supports MCP can connect. Sign-in uses OAuth, and the assistant asks for the data:read_write scope. Todoist lists guides for Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex and others. According to Todoist, connecting to Claude, ChatGPT, the MCP server, the CLI and the API is available to everyone. The help articles on Claude and ChatGPT list all plans (Beginner, Pro, Business).

Source code and tools. The repository Doist/todoist-mcp uses the MIT license, copyright “Doist”. Todoist Inc. names itself as the contracting party in its privacy policy and terms of service. The tools in the src/tools folder cover tasks, projects, sections, labels, filters, comments, reminders and reports. The folder also holds delete-object. According to its description, it deletes projects, sections, tasks, comments, labels, filters and reminders. The hosted server asks only for the data:read_write scope; the API documentation lists data:delete and project:delete as separate scopes. The repository calls itself “in its early stages”.

What the help articles say. The articles on Claude and ChatGPT describe reading, creating and updating. The Claude guide warns that you can prompt Claude to add, edit “or delete” tasks. It also lists sections, labels, comments and filters as supported. The help does not explicitly name deleting projects, labels, filters or comments. We did not check the hosted server while signed in and cannot say which version runs there.

An API. The Todoist API v1 offers REST endpoints, a Sync endpoint, webhooks and OAuth. Todoist writes that the API is free to use, but some features may be restricted depending on the plan.

AI in the product. Todoist bundles its AI features as Todoist Assist: Ramble (tasks by voice), Task Assist, Filter Assist and Email Assist. According to the pricing page, Beginner includes Filter Assist and a limited number of Ramble sessions. Task Assist and Email Assist come with Pro and Business. According to Todoist, the AI runs on its own infrastructure, and partner providers have committed not to train on the data. For Ramble, Todoist writes that input is not shared with third parties or used for training. Todoist may store usage data temporarily. The trust center names Google Cloud as a service provider for Ramble session data; it stays cached there for up to 24 hours.

Data location. According to the privacy policy, Todoist’s employees and service providers process data in the U.S. Todoist names Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud as storage providers. The security page says Todoist hosts all user data on AWS servers. The trust center lists AWS as hosting provider and does not list Azure. The sources we read name no EU region. For transfers from the EEA, Todoist refers to standard contractual clauses.

What the community offers

Many unofficial servers exist, for example abhiz123/todoist-mcp-server. We did not test their features one by one. They are not products of Todoist. Zapier and viaSocket offer hosted MCP servers for Todoist. We did not check whether Todoist supports these servers.

What this means for your company

• The official server changes data and, according to the source code, can also delete. Review the tools after the first sign-in and make the assistant ask before it changes anything.
• Tasks, comments and project names can contain personal data. Todoist processes them in the U.S. Clear this with your data protection lead.
• Todoist names Settings > Integrations as the place to review and revoke access. According to Todoist, what reaches the AI assistant also falls under the privacy policy of the assistant provider.
