Development Setup

1. Install dependencies and set up environment

npm run setup

2. Configure environment variables

Update the .env file with your Todoist token:

TODOIST_API_KEY=your-key-goes-here
TODOIST_BASE_URL=https://local.todoist.com/api/v1

The TODOIST_BASE_URL is optional and defaults to the official Todoist API endpoint. You may need to change this for development or testing purposes.

3. Run the MCP server with inspector

For development (with auto-rebuild):

npm run dev

This command starts the TypeScript compiler in watch mode and automatically restarts the MCP inspector whenever you make changes to the source code.

In MCP Inspector, ensure that the Transport type is STDIO, the command is npx and the arguments nodemon --quiet --watch dist --ext js --exec node dist/main.js, this will make sure that the MCP inspector is pointing at your locally running setup.

For testing the built version:

npm start

This command builds the project and runs the MCP inspector once with the compiled code. Use this to test the final built version without auto-reload functionality.
