How to Connect Todoist to ChatGPT

Connect the Todoist REST API to ChatGPT via MCP. Query tasks, projects, and productivity data with natural language using AnythingMCP.

Manage Your Tasks with ChatGPT

Todoist has no dedicated MCP connector. With AnythingMCP, you can convert Todoist's REST API into an MCP server and let ChatGPT query your tasks, analyze productivity, and manage projects.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Deploy AnythingMCP

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 2: Get Todoist API Token

Go to Todoist Settings → Integrations → Developer. Copy your API token.

Step 3: Create a REST Connector

Create a REST connector with base URL https://api.todoist.com/rest/v2. Set Bearer token authentication.

Step 4: Expose Key Endpoints

GET /tasks — All active tasks
GET /projects — All projects
GET /sections — Sections within projects
GET /labels — All labels
GET /comments — Task comments

Step 5: Connect ChatGPT

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "todoist": {
      "url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Step 6: Talk to Your Tasks

"What tasks are due today?"
"How many overdue tasks do I have?"
"Show me all high-priority tasks across all projects"
"Which project has the most open tasks?"
"What did I complete last week?"
