How to Use the Todoist MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How does Todoist integrate with Mastra AI for task creation?

You call createtask within a defined workflow. If that initial API call fails, Mastra AI automatically retries the operation using exponential backoff until it succeeds or hits a manual failure state.

Q: Can I monitor Todoist status changes with Mastra AI?

Yes. You can use listtasks to pull the current status of items and then build conditional logic around that data. This lets your workflow respond differently if a task is overdue versus active.

Q: Does Todoist support project management with Mastra AI?

Absolutely. You use listprojects to gather all available projects, and then you can build subsequent steps that only operate on tasks found within a specific project ID.

Q: Can I get comments history for a Todoist task using Mastra AI?

You use listcomments by supplying the necessary task ID. This allows your workflow to gather historical context before deciding on an action or notifying an admin.

Automate multi-step Todoist workflows with Mastra AI, handling retries and failures automatically.

Create And Organize New Tasks in Todoist

Start a new task using `create_task`. You provide the content and an optional project ID to assign it. Mastra AI handles this process, whether you're building a simple script or a complex workflow. This tool is perfect for setting up automated logging procedures; if an event happens, your agent can automatically create a follow-up task.

Audit Todoist Projects and Labels

Need to know what projects or labels exist? Use `list_projects` or `list_labels`. These tools give you the necessary metadata for your workflow engine. The agent reads this data, allowing conditional branching later on. This information is vital when building systems that need to route tasks based on pre-existing organizational structures.

List and Update Todoist Tasks

The `list_tasks` function lets you pull a batch of active items, optionally filtering by project ID. If your workflow needs to verify status, this tool gets the current data. Later, you can use `complete_task` to mark something done. Mastra AI manages both the read and write operations in one reliable flow.

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-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "todoist-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);
