Overview

The mcp-google-tasks server is a TypeScript implementation that provides Google Tasks API integration through Model Context Protocol. It allows AI assistants to fetch task lists, create new tasks, mark tasks as completed, and delete tasks within Google Tasks. The server uses OAuth 2.0 authentication and includes comprehensive setup instructions for both direct execution and integration with MCP-compatible clients like Cursor.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:AI assistants managing personal task lists
you:Automated task creation based on other AI outputs
you:Productivity tools integrating with Google Tasks
you:How do I handle authentication errors?
you:Can this server be used with other MCP clients besides Cursor?

When to choose this

Choose this if you're already using Google Tasks and want AI assistants to manage your tasks through MCP without switching platforms.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose this if you need Google Calendar integration (this only handles Tasks), or if you prefer a task management platform outside the Google ecosystem.
