# How to connect Todoist to OpenClaw > Connect Todoist to OpenClaw in one click. 8 Todoist tools your agent can call from chat. No API keys. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/todoist ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Todoist setup than rolling your own integration. Install one ClawHub skill, connect Todoist in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Todoist actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Todoist MCP for OpenClaw Looking for a Todoist MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects Todoist to OpenClaw and exposes 8 Todoist tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes Todoist integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/todoist) works the same way. **Start here:** install the ClawLink plugin (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`), pair it in the browser, then connect the app in the ClawLink dashboard. The interactive install prompt is on the web version of this page: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/todoist ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Todoist. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect Todoist** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect todoist # connect Todoist (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions todoist # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run todoist --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ## What the OpenClaw Todoist integration can do 8 Todoist tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 8 Todoist tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get all tasks** `todoist_get_all_tasks` | Fetches all incomplete tasks from Todoist | | **Get all projects** `todoist_get_all_projects` | Get all projects from a Todoist account | | **Filter tasks** `todoist_filter_tasks` | Get all tasks matching a filter | | **Get all comments** `todoist_get_all_comments` | Retrieve all comments for a task or project | | **Bulk create tasks** `todoist_bulk_create_tasks` | Create many tasks in one request | | **Close task v1** `todoist_close_task_v1` | Close (complete) a task in Todoist | | **Archive project2** `todoist_archive_project2` | Archive a project in Todoist | | **Add workspace** `todoist_add_workspace` | Create a new workspace in Todoist | ## Example prompts **Get All Tasks** > Pull the relevant data from Todoist, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get All Projects** > Pull the relevant data from Todoist, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Filter Tasks** > Use Todoist to filter tasks and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get All Comments** > Pull the relevant data from Todoist, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## 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 OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Todoist working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Todoist app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Todoist 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 Todoist. | 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 Todoist actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Todoist are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Todoist 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 OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Todoist in the browser, and the 8 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](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### OpenClaw installed the Todoist skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Todoist, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Todoist is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Todoist from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### The Todoist account is connected but the action fails Check whether the connected account has access to the workspace, inbox, store, or project you are trying to use. Most failures at this stage are permission mismatches, not ClawLink bugs. ### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing Try reconnecting Todoist and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a OpenClaw Todoist integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Todoist: link your Todoist account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Todoist API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add Todoist to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Todoist skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Todoist. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys. ### How long does it take to connect Todoist to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Todoist in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Todoist up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Todoist working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the Todoist skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Todoist, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
