Todoist MCP connector

The Todoist connector brings your Todoist projects, tasks, comments, and labels to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can review, add, and close work in Todoist by asking in plain language.

Connect on Elaichi How to connect

  • How it connects. OAuth or API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Todoist to Claude?

Connecting Todoist to Claude takes two steps. In Elaichi, choose Todoist and either sign in with your Todoist account or paste an API key from your Todoist settings, whichever your organization prefers. Then in Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.

Does Todoist work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Todoist is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Todoist once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Todoist data?

With Todoist connected, an AI agent can list your projects and tasks, create new tasks in a specific project, update due dates and labels, close tasks you have finished, and reopen ones that were closed too soon. It can also read and add comments on tasks, create or archive projects, and manage the personal labels you sort work with. Because Todoist has many things it can do, short concrete asks such as "close the design review task in the launch project" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Todoist give the AI all of my projects and shared workspaces?

No. When you connect Todoist through Elaichi you sign in as yourself, so the AI can only see the Todoist projects, tasks, and comments your own account can see, including shared projects you have already been invited to. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reading only, but it can never widen access beyond what your Todoist account already has.

Can my team share one Todoist connection?

Yes. One person connects Todoist in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles a Todoist API key or password. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every task created or closed in Todoist is recorded in the audit log under the name of the person who did it.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Todoist?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow an agent to read and create Todoist tasks while blocking it from deleting tasks, projects, or comments. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a Todoist connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Todoist through every connected client ends at once. A Todoist connection they shared with a team keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want to remove Todoist entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client in the same step.
