You can connect FreeTodoList to AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT so they can read and update your todo lists for you. Once you connect, you can ask things like:
- "What's on my groceries list?"
- "Add 'pick up dry cleaning' to my errands list, due Friday."
- "Mark all my completed work tasks as done."
- "What do I have overdue?"
You sign in with your FreeTodoList account once. After that, the assistant works as you and only sees what you can see. You can disconnect any time.
What the AI can do for you
- See your todo lists, with item counts and overdue tracking
- Read items in any of your lists
- Create new lists, add items, set due dates
- Mark items complete (or undo it)
- Reorder items in a list
- Search across everything in your account
Connect Claude (claude.ai)
- In Claude.ai, go to Settings → Integrations (sometimes called Connectors or Custom Integrations).
- Click Add custom integration.
- Enter the URL:
https://freetodolist.com/mcp - Claude will redirect you to FreeTodoList. Sign in and click Authorize.
- The integration shows up in your tools picker. Turn it on for any chat where you want Claude to manage your lists.
Connect ChatGPT
ChatGPT supports custom MCP connectors:
- In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click Browse connectors → Add custom connector.
- Server URL:
https://freetodolist.com/mcp - Sign in to FreeTodoList when prompted and click Authorize.
- Enable the FreeTodoList connector in any chat to start using it.
How to disconnect
Two ways:
- Inside the AI assistant: turn off the integration / connector.
- From your FreeTodoList account: log in, go to the OAuth dashboard, and revoke the token for the AI assistant. The next time the assistant tries to do anything, it'll be locked out.
Privacy
The AI assistant signs in as you and only sees what your account can see. We don't share your data with the AI vendor — they only see what you ask the assistant to look at. Standard privacy policy applies.
Troubleshooting
The browser opens but the page is blank or won't load. Close it and try again. Sometimes the first request times out.
OAuth seems to loop or never finishes. Clear cookies for freetodolist.com and try the connection flow again.
Tools don't show up in Claude or ChatGPT. Refresh the page or restart the app. For ChatGPT, remove the connector and re-add it.
Want to revoke access. Sign in to FreeTodoList, visit the admin OAuth dashboard, and click Revoke next to the token for the AI client. The assistant will need to sign in again next time.
