Can AI agents automate Todoist?

Doist · saas · productivitywork-management

Todoist is automatable today through its REST API. This record is Todoist personal and team task management (tasks, projects, and related workflow data), including the first-party hosted MCP at https://ai.todoist.net/mcp and the Doist/todoist-mcp repository. It is not Asana, Linear, ClickUp, monday.com, or Wrike. The API at https://api.todoist.com/api/v1 is documented as mostly REST for tasks, projects, sections, and comments, plus a /sync batch endpoint. Callers send Authorization Bearer with a personal token from Settings → Integrations → Developer, or obtain a user token through OAuth 2. Some features follow the authenticated user's plan. Official Python and TypeScript SDKs are published. The official CLI installs as @doist/todoist-cli; td auth login opens a browser and td supports JSON output and agent skills. The hosted MCP uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth scope data:read_write so an assistant can read, create, edit, and complete tasks and projects. Managed work or school accounts may block third-party connections. Developer docs also document webhooks. Beginner keeps 7 days of activity history; Pro and Business keep full history. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API and MCP each score 8. API is the best path because a personal token works without an MCP client.
