Get Everything You Promised in Meetings into Todoist Automatically with SuperIntern MCP
Think about the first few minutes after a meeting ends.
You have another call coming up, so you scribble what you just agreed to on a notepad or in a draft message: "fix the numbers in the deck," "send Acme three time slots," "check with Sara about the export bug." In the evening you open Todoist and retype the scribbles one by one, except one of them never made it into the scribbles at all. You find out about that one a few days later, when someone asks how it's going.
This is not a discipline problem. During a meeting your attention belongs to the conversation, so of course your note-taking suffers. The good news: the raw material already exists. Who committed to what, and by when, is sitting in your SuperIntern transcript and AI summary. In this guide, we connect SuperIntern's MCP and the Todoist connector to Claude, so that copying your own commitments into Todoist becomes a single prompt.

Today's Goal: Before / After
Before: After every meeting, you reconstruct your commitments from memory and scribbles, then retype them into Todoist. On busy days the retyping slips to tomorrow, and tomorrow's Todoist shows no trace of today's meetings. You usually learn about a dropped commitment from the person waiting on it.
After: When a meeting ends, you ask Claude to pull your commitments into Todoist. Claude reads the AI summary and transcript from SuperIntern, extracts only the items you personally took on, and shows you a proposed list with due dates. You review, say yes, and the tasks appear in Todoist. At the end of the day, one more prompt sweeps every meeting you had and catches anything you forgot to capture.
The reason the raw material is always there: SuperIntern is a botless desktop meeting assistant. No bot joins your calls, so transcripts and AI summaries accumulate automatically across every meeting platform, and for in-person conversations too. Whether or not you intended to turn it into a task, the moment you said "I'll take that one" is already on record.
How It Works: Three Roles
Three parties each play a distinct role in this workflow.
| Role | Player | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Provide meeting data | SuperIntern MCP | Serves transcripts, live transcripts, AI summaries, and meeting notes, strictly read-only |
| Judge and organize | Claude (the AI client) | Reads the discussion, identifies what you personally committed to, and drafts task proposals |
| Execute the action | Todoist (connector/MCP) | Creates and updates tasks in your own Todoist account |
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools safely. SuperIntern's MCP hands meeting data to the AI client on a read-only basis. On the other side, the official Todoist connector supports reading, creating, and updating tasks and projects: renaming, rescheduling, and moving items between projects.
In other words, it is Claude that writes to Todoist, not SuperIntern. The AI cannot modify anything on the SuperIntern side, and it can only see meetings you yourself can access. On the Todoist side, everything is written into your own account and nowhere else.
Setup
There are only two connections to make. Neither requires an API key; both are a login screen and an approval.
1. Connect SuperIntern MCP to Claude
In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector," and register this URL:
https://mcp.app.super-intern.com/mcp
A SuperIntern login screen opens; sign in and grant access. Plan requirements (personal workspaces need Plus or above; Enterprise requires an admin to enable MCP access) and setup steps for other clients such as Claude Code and Cursor are covered in our MCP setup guide.
2. Connect Todoist to Claude
Todoist ships as an official connector in Claude's connector directory. Click the plus icon in the chat box, choose "Add connectors," search for Todoist, and approve the OAuth login. For Claude Code, register Todoist's official MCP server directly:
claude mcp add --transport http todoist https://ai.todoist.net/mcp
The first time a Todoist tool runs, your browser opens for an OAuth sign-in. According to Todoist's official help center, the connector works on every Todoist plan (Beginner, Pro, and Business).
To confirm both connections work, ask:
Show me my three most recent SuperIntern meetings and my Todoist tasks for today
If both answers come back, you're ready.
Demo 1: Capture Your Tasks Right After a Meeting
The workflow earns its keep right after a meeting ends. Instead of trusting your memory, you pull your own commitments out of the record. The one habit that matters: always review a proposed list before anything gets created.
Get the AI summary and transcript of the product sync that just ended,
and extract only the tasks I committed to. Before creating anything
in Todoist, show me a list first:
- Task names short, starting with a verb
- Include a due date if one was mentioned (write "no due date" if not)
- Quote the statement each task is based on
Leave out anything other people took on. Once I approve, add them
to my "Work" project with due dates.
Claude reads the summary and transcript, then comes back with a proposal like this:
I found 3 tasks you committed to in the product sync.
- Revise the onboarding screen copy (due: Wed, Sep 9). Basis: "I'll fix the copy on my end by Wednesday."
- Send Acme three scheduling options (due: Mon, Sep 7). Basis: "I'll send over some times by tomorrow."
- Ask Ken to pull the usage numbers (no due date). Basis: "I'll ask Ken about the usage report."
Add these 3 to your "Work" project? No due date was mentioned for the third one, so let me know if you want to set one.
Reply "make the third one Friday, go ahead," and all three land in Todoist with due dates. No scribbles, no evening retyping session.
Notice the quoted statements. Ask an AI to extract tasks and it will happily pick up every "maybe we should" from the discussion; the quotes let you verify at a glance that each item is something you actually promised.
Demo 2: The End-of-Day Sweep
Forgot to run the capture after a meeting? No problem. SuperIntern has every meeting from the day on record, so one prompt before you log off covers everything.
List all my meetings from today, and from each AI summary extract
everything I said I would do. Cross-check against my current Todoist
tasks and show me only the items that are not in there yet.
Once I approve, add them to my inbox, and note in each task's
description which meeting it came from.
Claude walks through the day's meetings and proposes only what's missing.
I checked your 4 meetings today. 2 items are not in Todoist yet.
- Diagram the current approval flow and share it (from: 2:00 PM ops review)
- Write up interview feedback (from: 4:30 PM hiring sync)
"Send Acme three scheduling options" was already tracked, so I left it out. Add these 2 to your inbox?
Because the source meeting is noted in each task's description, tomorrow-morning-you can trace any cryptic task back to the conversation it came from.
Demo 3: A Weekly Review That Checks Promises Against Reality
One thing MCP makes uniquely easy: working across many meetings at once. On Friday, run your weekly review against the actual record of what you promised.
Go through this week's meeting summaries and list every commitment
I made. Cross-check against my completed and open Todoist tasks,
and sort into three buckets:
1) Promised in a meeting but missing from Todoist (with proposed entries)
2) In Todoist but overdue (with a realistic reschedule suggestion)
3) Completed this week
Only apply changes I approve.
Your week's "said" and "done" line up in a single list. Bucket 3 doubles as raw material for a weekly report. And because Claude knows the meeting context, its reschedule suggestions look like "before Wednesday's sync" rather than a mechanical push to tomorrow.
Tips and Caveats
Make "propose first, create after approval" your default. Every prompt in this guide includes a review step, and that's deliberate. Task creation is easy to undo, but the review keeps Todoist from feeling like it fills itself with someone else's guesses, and you catch interpretation errors on the spot. Once the workflow has earned your trust, you can switch specific recurring meetings to direct creation.
Capture only your own tasks. Say it explicitly: "only what I committed to, leave out other people's items." Skip that line and every action item from the meeting flows into your personal Todoist. Team-wide tracking belongs in an issue tracker, which is what the Linear pattern below is for.
Don't let "no due date" linger. Undated tasks sink in Todoist too. Demo 1's "write no due date if none was mentioned" line forces the decision to the moment of approval, while the context is fresh.
Verify high-stakes commitments against the transcript. For promises with money or customers attached, add "quote the exact statement each task is based on." You confirm against the primary record, not a summary's paraphrase.
Everything stays inside your own accounts. Tasks are created in your Todoist, and SuperIntern MCP can only read meetings you can access. Nothing is auto-shared with your manager or your team.
Feed the transcription. The more accurately names, projects, and internal vocabulary appear in the transcript, the better the extraction. Add recurring terms to SuperIntern's custom dictionary.
Going Further: Same Pattern, Different Tools
SuperIntern MCP provides the meeting data, Claude judges, and a third tool executes. Swap the third tool and the pattern keeps working.
- Linear: for commitments the team should track as issues, not personal to-dos. Covered in the Linear guide
- Google Calendar: when the follow-up is a meeting or a time block rather than a task. Covered in the Google Calendar guide
- Gmail: when the commitment is "reply to that email," down to the draft. Covered in the Gmail guide
The dividing line is simple: what the team tracks goes to Linear; what only you track goes to Todoist. From the same meeting, one prompt can create both.
FAQ
Q. Does SuperIntern MCP work on the free plan?
A. No. Personal workspaces need the Plus plan or above. Team plan workspaces can use it as is. On Enterprise, it works once an admin enables "MCP access" in workspace settings.
Q. Does SuperIntern write tasks into my Todoist?
A. No. Claude, using the Todoist connector, creates and updates tasks. SuperIntern MCP only hands over meeting data read-only; SuperIntern itself never writes to external tools.
Q. Can the AI modify my meeting notes or transcripts?
A. No. Every SuperIntern MCP tool is read-only; create, edit, and delete operations simply don't exist. Writes happen only on the Todoist side, and only inside your own account.
Q. Which Todoist plan do I need?
A. According to Todoist's help center, the Claude connector works on all plans, including the free Beginner tier. Note that connectors on the Claude side require a paid Claude plan (Pro or above).
Q. What if a wrong task gets created?
A. Todoist tasks can be edited or deleted as usual, and you can also just tell Claude "delete that third one." With the approval step from this guide's prompts, you'll usually catch it before creation.
Q. My team already uses Linear or Jira. Is there a point to the Todoist workflow?
A. Yes. Issue trackers hold the work your team tracks; the small personal promises, "ping Sara," "fix that typo in the deck," tend to fall through. Personal task management exists for exactly that gap, and this workflow automates it.
Everything you committed to is already heard and recorded by SuperIntern. All that's left is letting Claude carry it into Todoist.
