TTodoist MCP (official, remote)

What we probed (2026-11-09 UTC, no credentials): an MCP initialize POST to https://ai.todoist.net/mcp returned HTTP 401 with an OAuth challenge (WWW-Authenticate resource_metadata https://ai.todoist.net/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp); that metadata lists authorization server https://todoist.com and resource https://ai.todoist.net/mcp. We did not sign in, so no tools were listed or called. Source: Doist/todoist-mcp (MIT; 563 GitHub stars when tested), also published as npm @doist/todoist-mcp 13.11.1 for local use — the local server exits at startup with "TODOIST_API_KEY is not set" without a key, so we list the hosted endpoint. Official MCP registry entry net.todoist/mcp 1.0.1 ("Official Todoist MCP server. Manage tasks and projects. Hosted, no API key needed."). Already on Glama (Todoist AI MCP Server by Doist).
Claude Code 2.1.321 fixed MCP OAuth requests sending secrets such as refresh tokens to another host when a server redirected them. Claude Code changelog
