How to connect Google Tasks to Grok Bot
Connect Google Tasks to Grok Bot with ClawLink in one click — 16 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup.
Google TasksOAUTH2MCPCreate and manage Google Tasks lists and items. Once connected, Grok Bot can read and act on Google Tasks from chat — pairing, token refresh, and tool wiring handled for you.
Grok Bot runs on its own cloud computer, so most Google Tasks guides send you to register an OAuth app and paste keys into a sandbox that resets. ClawLink gives Grok Bot a more practical Google Tasks setup: it runs one CLI command, you approve once in the browser, and Grok Bot can call real Google Tasks actions from chat with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself.
Copy this prompt into Grok Bot. It runs the ClawLink CLI in its own terminal and pairs your account.
Set up ClawLink for me and tell me when it's ready.
1. Pair this machine. It prints an approval link, so show me the link and stop, don't wait:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli login
2. I'll approve it in my browser, then reply "approved".
3. When I say approved, connect the app:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect google-tasks
4. Then run `npx -y @useclawlink/cli whoami` and tell me whether ClawLink is ready.Setup
It takes three steps to connect Grok Bot to Google Tasks.
1Pair from the terminal
Ask Grok Bot to run the ClawLink CLI. It prints a link you approve once in your browser:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli login- 2
Connect Google Tasks
One-click OAuth in the dashboard.
- 3
Use it from chat
Ask Grok Bot: "What can you do with Google Tasks?"
Install by command
The prompt above does all of this. By hand, it is two commands Grok Bot runs in its own terminal, and one browser approval:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # prints an approval link, approve it in your browser
npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect google-tasksPair once and it sticks: the key is written to ~/.clawlink/credentials.json inside Grok Bot's sandbox, so it survives between sessions. Prefer native tools over shell commands? Add https://claw-link.dev/api/mcp as a custom connector at grok.com/connectors and approve the ClawLink sign-in. Same account, no CLI.
Verify the connection by asking Grok Bot:
Use Google Tasks to googletasks batch execute and walk me through the result in plain English.
Using a different agent?
The CLI above is not specific to Grok Bot. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account the same way:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli loginlogin opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Google Tasks is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 16 Google Tasks tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: connect apps to any AI agent.
Google Tasks MCP for Grok Bot
Looking for a Google Tasks MCP server for Grok Bot? ClawLink connects Google Tasks to Grok Bot and exposes 16 Google Tasks tools your agent can call over MCP, with hosted auth and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using a different agent? The OpenClaw Google Tasks integration and the Hermes Google Tasks integration connect the same ClawLink account the same way.
What the Grok Bot Google Tasks integration can do
16 Google Tasks tools are ready for Grok Bot once the account is connected. The 14 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 16.
14 of 16 Google Tasks tools for Grok Bot
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
Batch execute googletasks_batch_execute | Executes multiple Google Tasks API operations in a single HTTP batch request and returns structured per-item results. |
Clear tasks googletasks_clear_tasks | Permanently and irreversibly clears all completed tasks from a specified Google Tasks list; this action is destructive, idempotent, and cannot be undone. |
Create task list googletasks_create_task_list | Creates a new task list with the specified title and returns a tasklist_id. Use the returned tasklist_id (not the title) when calling GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK or other task operations. |
Get task googletasks_get_task | Retrieve a specific Google Task. REQUIRES both tasklist_id and task_id. Tasks cannot be retrieved by ID alone - you must always specify which task list contains the task. |
Get task list googletasks_get_task_list | Retrieves a specific task list from the user's Google Tasks if the tasklist_id exists for the authenticated user. |
Insert task googletasks_insert_task | Creates a new task in a given tasklist_id, optionally as a subtask of an existing task_parent or positioned after an existing task_previous sibling, where both task_parent and task_previous must belong to the same… |
List all tasks googletasks_list_all_tasks | Tool to list all tasks across all of the user's task lists with optional filters. Use when the agent needs to see all tasks without knowing which list to query first. |
List task lists googletasks_list_task_lists | Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from Google Tasks; results may be paginated. Response contains task lists under the items key. |
List tasks googletasks_list_tasks | Retrieves tasks from a Google Tasks list; all date/time strings must be RFC3339 UTC, and showCompleted must be true if completedMin or completedMax are specified. |
Move task googletasks_move_task | Moves the specified task to another position in the task list or to a different task list. |
Patch task googletasks_patch_task | Partially updates an existing task (identified by task_id) within a specific Google Task list |
Patch task list googletasks_patch_task_list | Updates the title of an existing Google Tasks task list |
Update task full googletasks_update_task_full | Fully replace an existing Google Task using PUT method |

ClawLink vs. building it yourself
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Grok Bot. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Google Tasks working from chat.
| Manual | ClawLink | |
|---|---|---|
| Connection flow | Register a Google Tasks app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Google Tasks through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. |
| Ongoing maintenance | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Google Tasks. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. |
| Agent usability | You still need to expose the right Google Tasks actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 16 tools for Google Tasks are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |
ClawLink vs. Composio
Composio also exposes Google Tasks to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for Grok Bot users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Google Tasks in the browser, and the 16 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them? Read the full Composio alternatives comparison.
Troubleshooting
Grok Bot says it cannot add ClawLink as an MCP server
Grok Bot only attaches MCP servers that are reachable over the public internet, so a local stdio server is refused. You do not need one. Ask Grok Bot to run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login in its terminal instead. The CLI is a shell command, not an MCP server. If you would rather have native tools, add https://claw-link.dev/api/mcp as a custom connector at grok.com/connectors and approve the ClawLink sign-in.
Connection succeeds but no tools appear
Reconnect Google Tasks from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded.
"Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Google Tasks tools
Google Tasks tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Google Tasks call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again.
Google Tasks returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work
Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs.
OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing
Try reconnecting Google Tasks and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete.
FAQ
Is there a Grok Bot Google Tasks integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Grok Bot to Google Tasks: link your Google Tasks account once in the browser and Grok Bot can call the Google Tasks API through 16 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.
How do I connect Google Tasks to Grok Bot with ClawLink?
Ask Grok Bot to run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login in its terminal and approve the link it prints, then npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect google-tasks to authorize Google Tasks. Grok Bot calls the tools from the next message, and the pairing persists in its sandbox, so this is a one-time step: no config files or API keys to manage.
How long does it take to connect Google Tasks to Grok Bot?
About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Google Tasks in the dashboard, authenticate, and Grok Bot can use it from the next chat message.
Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Google Tasks up myself?
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Grok Bot. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Google Tasks working from chat.
