Ask: "Create a project called "Q2 Launch" with 5 subtasks for the launch checklist"
AI does: AI creates the project and adds structured tasks with descriptions, due dates, and priority levels.

Ask: "Move all tasks labeled "blocked" to low priority"

Featured Todoist Tools

get-tasks: Get active (non-completed) tasks with powerful filtering options. Returns each task's ID, content, description, project ID, section ID, labels, priority, due date, parent ID (if subtask), assignee, order, and URL. WHEN TO USE: User asks "show my tasks", "what's due today?", "list overdue tasks", "show tasks in project X", "what tasks have the label Y?", "show my urgent tasks", "what do I need to do?". FILTERING OPTIONS (use only ONE at a time — they are mutually exclusive with filter): - projectId: Tasks in a specific project. - sectionId: Tasks in a specific section within a project. - label: Tasks with a specific label name (e.g., "work", "urgent"). - filter: Todoist filter syntax — the most powerful option. - ids: Retrieve specific tasks by ID array. FILTER SYNTAX EXAMPLES: "today" = tasks due today. "overdue" = past-due tasks. "today | overdue" = both. "p1" = urgent priority (p1 in UI = priority 4 in API). "p1 & today" = urgent tasks due today. "#Work" = tasks in Work project. "@email" = tasks with email label. "no date" = tasks without a due date. "7 days" = due within 7 days. "assigned to: me" = tasks assigned to you (shared projects). CRITICAL — Priority is INVERTED between UI and API: UI p1 (urgent/red) = API priority 4. UI p2 (high/orange) = API priority 3. UI p3 (medium/blue) = API priority 2. UI p4 (normal/no color) = API priority 1. When using filter param, use UI notation: "p1" for urgent. When reading returned priority field, 4=urgent. EXAMPLES: "What's due today?" → filter="today" "Show overdue tasks" → filter="overdue" "Tasks in my Work project" → get-projects to find ID → projectId=(work ID) "Urgent tasks this week" → filter="p1 & 7 days".

create-task: Create a new task in Todoist. Returns the created task with its generated ID and all properties. If no projectId is provided, the task goes to the Inbox. WHEN TO USE: User asks "add a task", "create a task", "remind me to X", "add to my to-do list", "schedule X for tomorrow", "create a subtask under Y". CRITICAL — Priority is INVERTED between UI and API: Use priority=4 for urgent (red, p1 in UI). priority=3 for high (orange, p2 in UI). priority=2 for medium (blue, p3 in UI). priority=1 for normal (default, p4 in UI). WRONG: priority=1 for urgent. CORRECT: priority=4 for urgent. DUE DATES — Three options (use only one): - dueString: Natural language, most flexible. "tomorrow", "next Monday at 3pm", "every weekday", "Jan 15". - dueDate: Exact date as "YYYY-MM-DD" (no time, all-day task). - dueDatetime: Exact datetime as "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z" (with timezone or UTC). LABELS: Pass as array of label name strings (e.g., ["work", "urgent"]). Labels are created automatically if new. SUBTASKS: Set parentId to create a subtask under an existing task. DURATION: Set duration + durationUnit to estimate task time (e.g., duration=30, durationUnit="minute"). STEP-BY-STEP — Create task in specific project and section: 1) Call get-projects to find the project ID. 2) Call get-sections with projectId to find the section ID. 3) Call create-task with content, projectId, and sectionId. EXAMPLES: "Add buy groceries to my list" → content="Buy groceries" "Create urgent task: deploy fix by tomorrow" → content="Deploy fix", priority=4, dueString="tomorrow" "Add a task to Work project In Progress section" → find IDs first, then create-task with projectId + sectionId "Remind me to call dentist next Monday at 9am" → content="Call dentist", dueString="next Monday at 9am".

quick-add-task: Quickly add a task using natural language. Todoist will parse dates, labels, priorities, and project from the text.

get-projects: Get all projects for the authenticated Todoist user. Returns a list of every project with its ID, name, color, parent ID (for sub-projects), order, view style (list/board), and favorite status. WHEN TO USE: User asks "show my projects", "list all projects", "what projects do I have?", or when you need a project ID to filter tasks, create sections, or move tasks. STEP-BY-STEP — Find tasks in a specific project: 1) Call get-projects to find the project ID by name. 2) Call get-tasks with projectId to list tasks in that project. EXAMPLE: "Show my Work project tasks" → get-projects → find "Work" → get-tasks with its projectId.

close-task: Mark a task as completed (done). Returns no content on success. For recurring tasks, this completes the current occurrence and schedules the next one automatically. WHEN TO USE: User asks "complete task X", "mark X as done", "finish task", "check off X", "I did X". CRITICAL: Requires taskId (string). If user gives a task name, call get-tasks first to find the ID. NOTE: This does NOT delete the task — it marks it as completed. Use delete-task to permanently remove it. To undo, use reopen-task. STEP-BY-STEP — Complete a task by name: 1) Call get-tasks to find the task by content/name. 2) Call close-task with the task ID. EXAMPLE: "Mark buy groceries as done" → get-tasks → find "Buy groceries" ID → close-task.

get-labels: Get all personal labels.
