Where do I get my Todoist API Token?

You can locate your personal API Token securely via the web application by clicking your profile avatar, going to **Settings**, and selecting the **Integrations** tab. Your token will be visible at the bottom or in a dedicated Developer section. Alternatively, navigate directly to `https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations`.

Can the agent delete projects or workspaces?

No. The integration exclusively lists resources (projects, items, labels) and supports only basic item modifications: creating tasks and marking tasks as completed. Destructive actions on structural settings are not supported.

Can the agent organize my tasks using sub-projects or sections?

Yes. The Todoist integration allows the agent to retrieve project IDs and navigate into their specific sections. When creating a new task, you can explicitly ask the agent to place it within a specific section to keep your work neatly organized.

Todoist + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Todoist MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Todoist tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
