Google Tasks

Create, organize, and manage to-do lists with due dates, subtasks, and progress tracking.

Setup

Connect the Google Tasks toolkit to your Google account to allow your AI assistant to create, organize, and manage your to-do lists.

Prerequisites

Before connecting Google Tasks, ensure you have configured an MCP server in your toolforest.io dashboard.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Connect to Google

Navigate to your MCP server panel in the toolforest.io dashboard
Locate the Google Tasks toolkit
Click Connect
You’ll be redirected to Google’s authorization page

Important: The Google account you connect doesn’t need to match your toolforest.io email address.

Step 2: Authorize Permissions

Google will ask you to grant toolforest.io one permission:

Create, edit, organize, and delete all your tasks – Allows toolforest.io to manage tasks and task lists across your Google account.

Click Continue to grant this permission.

Step 3: Confirmation

After authorizing, you’ll be redirected back to toolforest.io with a “Successful connection” message. The toolkit status will now show Connected.

Understanding Permissions

What toolforest.io Can Access

toolforest.io’s permissions allow your AI assistant to:

Read tasks: View all of your task lists and the tasks they contain
Manage tasks: Create, update, complete, and delete tasks on your behalf
Organize: Reorder tasks, nest subtasks, and create or rename task lists

Data Privacy

Your task data is retrieved only when you explicitly ask your LLM to query it. toolforest.io does not store your tasks permanently; it acts as a bridge to fetch the specific information your assistant needs to answer your questions.

Managing Your Connection

Disconnect

To disconnect the toolkit:

Click the Disconnect button in your MCP server panel
toolforest.io will remove all stored access tokens

🔒 Note

Disconnecting removes toolforest.io's access tokens but does not automatically revoke permissions in your Google account. The toolkit will require reauthorization to connect again.

Revoke Permissions

To fully revoke toolforest.io’s access to your Google account:

Visit your Google Account permissions page
Find toolforest.io and click Remove Access
