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.

How to connect Todoist to Copilot Studio

  1. 1

    In the Arlet dashboard, open Integrations → Add an integration and choose Todoist. Sign in with Link Todoist, name the connection and click Create.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Copilot Studio with your work account, create a new agent (or open an existing one), and in the Build tab choose Tools → + → Add → Model Context Protocol (MCP) in the right panel.

  3. 3

    In the Add MCP server form, enter "Arlet" as the Server name, https://mcp.arlet.dev/mcp/ as the Server URL, choose OAuth 2.0 for Authentication and "Dynamic (detected)" for Configuration type, then click Add. No Client ID / Secret is needed.

  4. 4

    On the Select a connection screen, choose Create new connection → Create, then sign in with Google on the Arlet authorization screen and click Allow. Click Add to attach the tool to the agent, then Publish to use it from Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Requires a Microsoft work account and a Copilot Studio license (or trial). MCP is available only for agents using generative orchestration and not in Copilot Studio in Teams.
