Connect Todoist to Claude
Search, read and write Todoist from Claude. Arlet links the two through one MCP connection and takes care of keys and authentication.
Arlet makes Todoist's official MCP server available from the AI client you already use. Signing in completes the connection.
The AI can search, add, complete and reschedule tasks, manage projects and sections, add comments and reminders, and read productivity stats. The available tools are those provided by Todoist's official server, which is available on the Beginner, Pro and Business plans.
