Todoist MCP

Add multiple comments to tasks or projects, optionally notifying collaborators. Each comment must specify either taskId or projectId.

Add one or more new personal filters. Filters are saved custom views using query syntax to organize tasks.

Add one or more new personal labels.

Add one or more new projects.

Add reminders to tasks. Supports three types: "relative" (minutes before due), "absolute" (specific date/time), or "location" (geofence-triggered). Each reminder must specify a taskId.

Add one or more new sections to projects.

Add one or more tasks to a project, section, or parent. Supports assignment to project collaborators.

Trigger a new health analysis for a project. Use this when the health data is stale or you want a fresh assessment. The analysis may take time to complete — use get-project-health afterward to see updated results.

Complete one or more tasks by their IDs.

Delete a project, section, task, comment, label, filter, reminder, or location_reminder by its ID. Projects can be deleted whether active or archived (find archived ones via find-projects with archivedStatus); note a workspace project must be archived before it can be deleted, while personal projects can be deleted regardless.

Export an existing project as a Todoist template, either as CSV content or as a shareable URL. Use it to duplicate a project, share its structure, or hand the CSV to import-project-template. To read a project rather than export it, use find-tasks instead — it returns structured tasks rather than raw CSV. Nothing is modified.

Fetch the full contents of a task or project by its ID. The ID should be in the format "task:{id}" or "project:{id}".

Fetch a single task, project, comment, or section by its ID. Use this when you have a specific object ID and want to retrieve its full details. Set includeChildren to also get its direct subtasks or sub-projects.

Retrieve activity logs to monitor and audit changes in Todoist. Shows events from all users by default (use initiatorId to filter by specific user). To answer what someone completed in a period, including recurring task occurrences, use objectType "task", eventType "completed", and dateFrom/dateTo. For a first-person question ("what did I get done"), also set initiatorId to the current user from user-info, or the answer includes collaborators' completions. Track task completions, updates, deletions, project changes, and more with flexible filtering. Activity history availability and retention depend on the user plan.

Find comments by task, project, or get a specific comment by ID. Exactly one of taskId, projectId, or commentId must be provided.

Get completed tasks in a date range. For "what did I complete/get done" questions, use find-activity instead — it reports completion events, including every occurrence of a recurring task, which this tool does not. since/until are optional and default to a 7-day window when omitted. Includes all collaborators by default. Person-specific queries (summaries, plans, reports) require responsibleUser.

List all personal filters or search for filters by name. Filters are saved custom views that use query syntax to organize tasks (e.g. "today & p1", "#Work & overdue").

List personal labels and shared labels. Personal labels have full metadata (id, name, color, order, isFavorite) and support pagination and name search (partial, case insensitive). Shared labels are labels used on tasks shared with you — they are returned as names only (no IDs or metadata). When searching, all matching personal labels are fetched across all pages and returned as a single result set (limit and cursor are ignored). When not searching, personal labels are returned with pagination.

Find Todoist users (collaborators, teammates) by name or email to look up their user ID. Use this whenever the user asks to find, look up, or identify a person — e.g. "find Carrie's user ID", "who is Ernesto", "look up a user". When projectId is omitted, searches across the collaborators of every shared project the authenticated user has access to, plus the authenticated user themselves — an empty result means the person is not a collaborator on any project you share with them, not necessarily that they do not exist in Todoist. When projectId is provided, searches only that project. Partial, case-insensitive match on name and email.

List all projects or search for projects by name. By default only active projects are returned; use archivedStatus ('archived' or 'all') to include archived projects. When searching or when archivedStatus is 'all', all matching projects are returned (pagination is ignored). Otherwise projects are returned with pagination.

Find reminders by task ID (returns all reminder types), or get a specific reminder by its ID. Use reminderId for time-based reminders and locationReminderId for location reminders.

Search for sections by name or other criteria in a project. When searching, uses server-side search to avoid fetching all sections.

Find tasks by text search, project/section/parent container, responsible user, labels, a raw Todoist filter string, or a saved filter by ID or name (filterIdOrName). At least one filter must be provided.

Get tasks by date range. startDate='today' includes overdue items. Default responsibleUserFiltering='unassignedOrMe' excludes others' tasks.

Get a Markdown overview. If no projectId is provided, shows all projects with hierarchy and sections (useful for navigation). If projectId is provided, shows detailed overview of that specific project including all tasks grouped by sections.

Get comprehensive productivity statistics including daily/weekly completion breakdowns, goal streaks (current, last, max), karma score and trends, and historical karma data. Useful for productivity analysis and tracking goal progress. Reports counts, streaks and karma only, never the tasks themselves — for "what did I complete", use find-activity.

Get daily and optional weekly task completion counts for a project over a configurable time window (1-12 weeks). Useful for identifying completion trends and patterns.

Get a comprehensive health assessment for a project including completion progress, health status (EXCELLENT, ON_TRACK, AT_RISK, CRITICAL), and optional detailed context with project metrics and task-level data. Use includeContext=true for that full detail.

Get aggregated health and progress insights across all projects in a workspace. Accepts workspace name or ID, with optional project ID filtering. Useful for a cross-project health overview.

Import a template into an existing project, adding its tasks, sections and comments to whatever is already there. Source it by template ID/URL or by passing CSV content from export-project-template. To start a new project from a template, create the project with add-projects first, then import into it. This writes immediately and cannot be undone, so only run it against a project the user named.

Get all workspaces for the authenticated user. Returns workspace details including ID, name, plan type (STARTER/BUSINESS), user role (ADMIN/MEMBER/GUEST), link sharing settings, guest permissions, creation date, and creator ID.

Bulk assignment operations for multiple tasks. Supports assign, unassign, and reassign operations with atomic rollback on failures.

Archive or unarchive a project by its ID.

Move a project between personal and workspace contexts.

Reorder sibling projects or sections, and optionally move projects to a new parent. For projects: set order to reorder siblings, and/or set parentId to move under a new parent (use "root" for top level). For sections: set order to reorder within a project.

Reschedule tasks to new dates while preserving recurring schedules. Unlike update-tasks (which replaces the entire due string and can wipe recurrence), this tool changes only the date, keeping recurrence patterns intact. Use this when moving recurring tasks to a different date without altering their repeat pattern.

Search across tasks and projects in Todoist. Returns a list of relevant results with IDs, titles, and URLs.

Uncomplete (reopen) one or more completed tasks by their IDs.

Update multiple existing comments with new content.

Update one or more existing personal filters with new values.

Update one or more existing labels. Personal labels (identified by ID) can have their name, color, order, and favorite flag updated. Shared labels (identified by name) can only be renamed.

Update multiple existing projects with new values.

Update existing reminders. Each reminder must specify its type ("relative", "absolute", or "location") and ID. Only include fields that need to change.

Update multiple existing sections with new values.

Update existing tasks including content, dates, priorities, and assignments. Send only the fields that change.

Get comprehensive user information including user ID, full name, email, timezone with current local time, week start day preferences, current week dates, daily/weekly goal progress, and user plan (Free/Pro/Business).

View a file attachment from a Todoist comment. Pass the fileUrl from a comment's fileAttachment field. Supports images (returned inline), text files (returned as text), and binary files like PDFs (returned as embedded resources).
