How to Use the Todoist MCP in Mastra AI

Q: Can I list all projects using Mastra AI?

Yes. The listprojects tool lets your workflow engine pull every project name. This forms the starting point for any large-scale operational task.

Q: What if my Todoist update fails? Does Mastra AI handle it?

Absolutely. Mastra AI's built-in retry logic kicks in. If updatetaskdetails hits an error, the agent doesn't just quit; it backs off and tries again.

Q: Is there a way to list labels for Todoist with Mastra AI?

You can call listalllabels. This gives your workflow engine visibility into all available tags, which is needed before it attempts any filtering or grouping.

Perplexity

Complex Task Lifecycle Management via MCP Server

The `get_task_details` tool retrieves all information about a specific task. You can then use `update_task_details` to modify that task's content or due date. This setup is ideal for Mastra AI's workflow engine, letting it check the status first (read) and then execute an action (write), handling failures like missing data automatically.

Project Structure Discovery

To map out a project, you can call `list_projects` to see everything. If you need deeper context, `get_project_details` pulls the full metadata for that container. Mastra AI uses this information to build its workflow graph. It knows exactly which projects exist before trying to run any actions.

Reopening Closed Todoist Tasks

If a task is finished but needs action again, the `reopen_task` tool reactivates it. This simple function is crucial for complex workflows that might need retries. Mastra AI handles this perfectly: if one step fails (e.g., an update times out), the workflow can automatically try to reopen or modify the task on a later attempt.

Setup guide

Set up Todoist MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Todoist tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "todoist-extended-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "todoist-extended-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Todoist Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Todoist tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Todoist transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
