Google Tasks MCP Server

Connect an MCP-compatible client to Google Tasks through a private server you run yourself. The server exposes compact tools for reading, searching, summarizing, creating, completing, updating, deleting, and moving Google Tasks. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting productivity tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Claude Code

claude mcp add ebmurha-google-tasks-mcp -- uvx google-tasks-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ebmurha-google-tasks-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "google-tasks-mcp"
