todoist-v1-mcp-server
A clean, reliable MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Todoist — built on the Todoist unified API v1.
Why this exists
The official Todoist web MCP (todoist-ai) has a known persistent disconnection bug on the Anthropic side that requires reconnecting daily. Community alternatives are either built on the deprecated REST API v2 or have schema validation bugs that cause failures when Todoist returns additional fields as their API evolves.
This server:
- Targets the current Todoist API v1 (not deprecated v2)
- Uses stdio transport — no cloud dependency, no daily reconnections
- Uses the modern MCP SDK
registerTool()API (not the deprecatedsetRequestHandlerpattern) - Never enforces strict output schemas on API responses — Todoist can add new fields freely without breaking anything
- Zero SDK wrapper dependency — direct HTTP calls via axios, so there's no intermediary library drifting from the API
