| Best for | - Existing Todoist users or teams who want to manage tasks and projects through conversation with Claude
- Users who need to run bulk task operations (e.g., mass priority updates, clearing overdue tasks)
- Developers who want to validate automations in Dry-Run mode before touching real data
| - Teams and individuals who already manage docs/wikis in Notion and want AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to operate on that content directly
- Developers who want to self-host a local MCP server rather than use a remote hosted option
- Automation/agent workflows that need to query or update Notion database records programmatically
|
|---|
| Not for | - Users who don't use Todoist, or who need to connect to other task tools like Jira or Asana
- Enterprise scenarios requiring an official Todoist product or SLA-backed support
- Highly privacy-sensitive setups that don't want API tokens and task data routed through a third-party MCP server
| - Users who want the standard-OAuth, zero-JSON-config install with active official support — Notion recommends its newer remote Notion MCP server for that
- Users uncomfortable handing a Notion integration token to a locally-run LLM client
- Use cases needing capabilities the integration deliberately excludes, such as deleting databases
- Long-term production deployments that need guaranteed maintenance, given this repo may be sunset
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Requires a personal Todoist API token (from Todoist developer settings), which grants account-level read/write access
- Can read and modify all account data including tasks, projects, sections, labels, comments, reminders, filters, notes, and shared labels
- Some features (reminders, filters, shared labels) require a Todoist Pro or Business subscription
| - A Notion internal integration token (NOTION_TOKEN or the Authorization value in OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS), scoped by that integration's Capabilities (can be limited to read-only)
- Access limited to the specific pages/databases explicitly connected to the integration, not the whole workspace
- A separate bearer auth token when using the Streamable HTTP transport (--auth-token / AUTH_TOKEN)
- Network access to the Notion API
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - This is a third-party open-source project maintained by an individual developer, not an official Todoist product
- The API token is stored in plaintext in the client config file and should be protected from exposure
- Bulk delete or bulk complete operations can make irreversible changes to real Todoist data if misconfigured; test with DRYRUN=true first
- Task and comment content passes through Claude, so users with sensitive data should evaluate their own data-flow risk
| - If the integration is granted broad read/write capabilities and connected to many pages, that content is effectively exposed to the LLM, risking data leakage or unintended edits
- Running with --unsafe-disable-auth removes bearer authentication on the HTTP transport, potentially making it reachable via DNS rebinding from pages a user visits — the README says to only use it on an isolated network
- Multi-tenant token passthrough requires careful TLS/gateway configuration; misconfiguration risks leaking or misrouting Notion tokens between tenants
- The README states this local server may be sunset in favor of the remote Notion MCP, and that issues/PRs here are not actively monitored, so long-term maintenance and security fixes are not guaranteed
- Storing NOTION_TOKEN or OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS directly in shared client config files risks leaking the secret
