Frequently asked questions
Can I filter tasks for today using the AI?
Yes! Use the list_active_tasks tool and provide the filter parameter set to 'today'. Your agent will retrieve all tasks scheduled for the current date.
How do I add a new task to a specific project?
Use the create_task tool. Provide the content and the unique Project ID. You can also include a due_string like 'tomorrow at 10am' to set a deadline.
Is it possible to list all my labels via AI?
Absolutely. Run the list_all_labels query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of labels you use to categorize tasks in your account.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Todoist tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
