Google Tasks Overview

The google-tasks MCP server connects MCP clients to a user’s Google Tasks account for reading and writing task data. It manages task lists and tasks, including creation, updates, completion, deletion, reordering, subtasks, and due dates. Authorization uses a local Google OAuth flow, with credentials and refreshed tokens stored on the user’s machine. Reach for it when an agent needs to organize or maintain Google Tasks directly rather than using a separate task system.

Primary Use Cases for Google Tasks:
  • Create tasks and subtasks from an agent conversation
  • Update Google Tasks titles, notes, due dates, and status
  • Reorder tasks or move them between task lists
  • Review tasks using due-date and updated-time filters
