About MCP Todo.txt Integration
MCP Todo.txt Integration is a server that lets LLMs manage tasks in Todo.txt files through MCP. It includes task filtering, sorting, search, metadata management, and batch operations.
Key features
- 01Add, complete, and delete tasks
- 02Filter and sort tasks
- 03Search by keyword or metadata
- 04Manage custom metadata
- 05Batch update or delete tasks
Use cases
- 01Maintain Todo.txt through an MCP client
- 02Organize tasks by project or priority
- 03Batch-update tasks and manage metadata
MCP support
The server exposes task resources, task-management tools, and prompts for summarizing tasks or generating task descriptions to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
