  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below

Install the server via npm (npm install -g @abhiz123/todoist-mcp-server) or automatically through Smithery. Obtain a Todoist API token from your Todoist account settings, then configure Claude Desktop by adding the server to claude_desktop_config.json with your token. Once set up, you can issue natural language commands to manage tasks.
