Common questions

Is Gtasks MCP safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Google Tasks MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google Tasks. Manage task lists and tasks through natural language in Claude Desktop and other MCP clients.

Forked from zcaceres/gtasks-mcp with stronger auth options, multi-list support, pagination, and hierarchy tools.

Registry name: io.github.alvinjchoi/gtasks-mcp npm: @alvincrave/gtasks-mcp

Features

List and search tasks (optionally scoped to one task list)
Paginate through all tasks (no silent 100-task cap)
Create, update, delete, and clear completed tasks
Discover task lists (list_task_lists)
View parent/child hierarchy (list_with_tree)
Reorder, nest, or move tasks across lists (move)
OAuth2 auth via env vars, credential files, or interactive auth
Docker support

Installation

Recommended (Claude Desktop / any MCP client) — runs the latest published npm package:

npx -y @alvincrave/gtasks-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g @alvincrave/gtasks-mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/alvinjchoi/gtasks-mcp.git

cd gtasks-mcp npm install npm run build

Setup

Option A — Environment variables (Claude Desktop)

Create a Google Cloud project and enable the Google Tasks API.
Create OAuth 2.0 Desktop credentials and obtain a refresh token (OAuth Playground with scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks works).
Configure Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

"mcpServers": { "gtasks": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@alvincrave/gtasks-mcp"], "env": { "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id_here", "GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret_here", "GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your_refresh_token_here" } } } }

Option B — Credential files (local / shared with other Google MCP servers)

Download your OAuth client JSON (gcp-oauth.keys.json).
Authenticate once:

export GTASKS_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/path/to/gcp-oauth.keys.json

export GTASKS_TOKEN_PATH=/path/to/.gtasks-server-credentials.json node dist/index.js auth

Run the server with the same env vars set (or place gcp-oauth.keys.json in the project root and use the defaults).

Aliases also accepted:

Purpose	Preferred	Alias
OAuth client keys	`GTASKS_CREDENTIALS_PATH`	`GOOGLE_OAUTH_KEYS_PATH`
Saved tokens	`GTASKS_TOKEN_PATH`	`GOOGLE_TASKS_CREDENTIALS_PATH`

Option C — Home config file

Create ~/.gtasks-credentials.json:

"clientId": "your_client_id", "clientSecret": "your_client_secret", "refreshToken": "your_refresh_token" }

Tools

Tool	Description
`search`	Search tasks by title/notes. Optional `taskListId`.
`list`	List tasks (all lists, or one via `taskListId`). Fully paginated.
`list_task_lists`	List task list names and IDs.
`list_with_tree`	Tree view for one list (parent/child, position order).
`move`	Reorder, nest/un-nest, or move across lists.
`create`	Create a task (`title` required; optional notes/due/`taskListId`).
`update`	Patch a task (only provided fields change).
`delete`	Delete a task.
`clear`	Clear completed tasks from a list.

Usage examples

show my task lists

list tasks in list search for tasks containing "meeting" create a task named "Prepare presentation" due 2026-07-20 show the task tree for list move task under parent mark task completed

Docker

docker build -t gtasks-mcp .

docker run -i \ -e GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id \ -e GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret \ -e GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN=your_refresh_token \ gtasks-mcp

Development

npm install

npm run build npm start

Auth check / interactive login:

npm run build

node dist/index.js auth

Security Notes

Treat refresh tokens like passwords
Prefer env vars or ignored credential files — never commit them
Rotate credentials if they leak
