Todoist MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to your Todoist account. Once it is set up, you can just talk to your AI in normal words and it will look up, add, change or tick off things in Todoist for you. It is handy for anyone who lives in their to-do list and would rather type a sentence than click around.

What this MCP server does

You type a normal request, like asking what is due today or asking to add a task. Your AI reads that request and decides which action to use. It passes the request to this helper, which talks directly to Todoist using your account. Todoist sends back the answer, and the helper hands it to your AI, which explains it to you in the chat. If you asked for a change, the change is made in your Todoist right away.

What it gives back to you

You get answers in plain chat text. For a question like what is due today, your AI gives you a short list of tasks with their names and dates. When you ask it to add, change or complete something, it tells you what it did. For bigger things like a list of projects, it may show a simple list or table.
