MCP support
Exposes tools for listing task lists and tasks, retrieving task details, and finding upcoming due tasks. Connect through the Pipeworx gateway or run the package locally over stdio.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Microsoft To Do (Microsoft 365) MCP Pack
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1882+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_task_lists | List the Microsoft To Do task lists for the signed-in user, with display names and whether each is a well-known list (e.g. the default "Tasks" or flagged-email list). Use to discover a to-do list and its ID before listing tasks or reminders. |
list_tasks | List the tasks in a Microsoft To Do list. Returns compact task summaries (title, status, importance, due date, created/completed times, and a body preview). Optionally filter by status. Use to browse a user's to-do list and see what tasks or reminders it contains. |
get_task | Get the full details of a single Microsoft To Do task by its list ID and task ID, including title, status, importance, full body/notes, due date, reminder time, created/completed times, and any checklist (sub-task) items. Use after list_tasks or find_due_tasks to read a to-do item in full. |
find_due_tasks | Find upcoming, incomplete Microsoft To Do tasks across all of the user's to-do lists that are due within the next N days. Returns a flat list of due reminders with their list name, title, due date, and importance. Use to answer "what tasks are due soon" or "what are my upcoming reminders". |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"microsoft-todo": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/microsoft-todo/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/microsoft-todo/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1882+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
This pack runs against a connected microsoft account, so it needs a Pipeworx key: sign in at https://pipeworx.io/account, connect microsoft, then call POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_task_lists with Authorization: Bearer <your Pipeworx key>. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_task_lists. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"microsoft-todo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-microsoft-todo"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-microsoft-todo
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Microsoft Todo data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
