What you can do with Todoist

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Todoist API rate limits

50 requests per minute

Rate limits apply per API token

These are the limits Todoist documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Todoist documentation for current values.

Use Todoist from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Todoist in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Todoist operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
