What is it?

Todoist is a simple, popular task manager. Doist's official hosted connector lets Claude manage your list, so at the end of a working session you can say "add follow-ups for everything we didn't finish" and they appear.

Sign-in happens in your browser the first time Claude touches a task. There is also an official Claude Code plugin if you prefer that route.

What Claude can do once it's connected

  • Add tasks with dates, projects and priorities
  • Show what is due today or this week
  • Complete, move and reschedule tasks
  • Turn a brain-dump into an organised project

Install in Claude Code

Open your terminal in the project folder and run:

Command
claude mcp add --transport http todoist https://ai.todoist.net/mcp

You'll be asked to sign in or paste an API key the first time you use it.

Who it's for

People who run their day from Todoist and want Claude keeping it current.

Best for

  • Daily planning
  • Capturing follow-ups
  • Reviewing the week

Why it made the list

It is the official connector, it is free, and it is the simplest personal task tool to hook up.
