Full read-write Claude connector for Todoist
Have Claude create, reschedule, and complete tasks in Todoist
Stop switching apps to capture and triage work by hand. Claude adds tasks to the right project, shifts due dates and priorities, assigns to teammates, and closes items once you approve, all where your tasks already live.
Todoist is a task and project manager teams use to capture work, organize it into projects, and track what is due. People want Claude to do more than list tasks: to create them, reschedule due dates, and close items inside the right project.
What is a Todoist MCP server?
A Todoist MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes Todoist's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can tasks, projects, and docs inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.
What can Todoist's current connector do today?
Today, Todoist offers an official integration directory and a public API, and Claude can connect through them to read tasks and projects. Coverage of write actions like creating tasks, changing due dates, and completing items varies by setup and may be limited. A custom Todoist connector adds those writes with scoped, human-in-the-loop controls.
What does full read-write Todoist access unlock?
Full read-write Todoist access lets Claude add tasks to the right project, set or shift due dates and priorities, assign tasks to teammates, add labels and comments, and complete items once you approve. The capture and triage that used to mean switching apps happen where your tasks already live.
- Create a task in a specific project with a due date and priority
- Reschedule or shift due dates across a set of overdue tasks
- Assign tasks to teammates and apply labels for triage
- Add a comment or sub-task to break down a larger item
- Move tasks between projects or sections as priorities change
- Complete or reopen tasks after you approve the change
Can Claude create tasks in the right Todoist project?
Yes. With a full read-write Todoist connector, Claude can create a task in a specific project with a due date and priority, add labels for triage, and assign it to a teammate. It works within the projects you connect, scoped to what your own account can already reach.
Can Claude reschedule overdue tasks in Todoist?
Claude can reschedule overdue tasks by shifting due dates across a set of items, changing priorities, and moving tasks between projects or sections as things change. Rescheduling is a write action available through a purpose-built connector, since read-only setups can only list what already exists.
Will Claude complete or delete Todoist tasks without approval?
No. Completing and deleting tasks are gated write actions in Todoist. Claude can prepare the change and show you exactly which tasks it affects, but the action runs only after you confirm it. Creating tasks and adding comments flow freely while destructive changes wait for a human.
How a Todoist connector works
We build a small MCP server that authenticates to Todoist with OAuth or a scoped API token and requests only the access the work needs. Read tools (list tasks, list projects) and write tools (create, reschedule, complete) are separated, and destructive actions like deleting or completing tasks require your confirmation. Claude never has more access to your Todoist than your own account already has.
