Google Tasks is Google’s task management service integrated with Gmail and Calendar. The Google Tasks MCP server lets you create, organize, and update tasks using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Create and manage tasks with titles, notes, and due dates
  • Organize task lists for different projects or contexts
  • Mark tasks complete and track progress
  • Query tasks by list, status, or due date

​
Where to Use It

Add Google Tasks as a tool to any agent. The agent can then manage your tasks conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Google Tasks tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Create a task in my Work list”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Example Prompts

Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node: View tasks: 
What tasks do I have due this week?
Create a task: 
Add "Review quarterly report" to my Work list with a due date of Friday
Complete a task: 
Mark the "Send invoice" task as complete
List by project: 
Show me all tasks in my Marketing list

​
Troubleshooting

IssueSolution
Agent not finding the right dataSpecify the task list name clearly
Action not completingCheck that you’ve authenticated with Google Tasks
Unexpected resultsThe agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., finding a list first, then creating a task). Review the agent’s reasoning to understand its approach.
Tool not availableVerify the tool is enabled in your agent’s MCP configuration
Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Add a task to my Work list” will find the list ID first, then create the task. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
