Todoist

Drive Todoist (personal/team task manager) from any AI agent: projects, tasks, comments, labels, sections. 12 tools, Bearer token auth, REST API v2.

Setup

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://todoist.com → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → Developer → API token → Copy.
  2. Set TODOIST_API_TOKEN to it.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${TODOIST_API_TOKEN}. The token is per-user; everything done with it appears as that user's actions. Personal API tokens never expire.

Hierarchy: Project → Section (optional) → Task → Sub-task. Tasks can also live directly in a project without a section. The Inbox is a special project (inbox_project=true).
