Google Tasks, in your AI apps.

Sidekick for AI is an MCP server for Google Tasks™

Connect your Google Tasks to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps. Ask them what's overdue, clear out duplicates or plan your week, and every change lands in the Google Tasks you use on your phone, in Gmail and in Sidekick on your Mac.

Coming soonHow to add it ↓

Ask for what you'd ask a person.

Your AI app reads your lists, works out the answer and makes the change. These are examples.

What's overdue, and what can wait?

Three tasks are overdue, two are due today, and six have no date. The oldest untouched one is "Renew the parking permit", from five weeks ago.

Add "Book the car service" for next Tuesday, in my Home list.

Added to Home, due Tuesday 10 November.

Plan my week from what's due.

Monday: the proposal and the dentist. Tuesday: Priya's hiring plan. Two tasks have no date, so I've left them for Friday.

Find my duplicates and clear them out.

I found two tasks that are there twice. Deleting can't be undone, so here's exactly what would go. Shall I delete them?
Call the bank about the transfer
Pick up the dry cleaning
Delete 2 tasksCancel

What it does, and what it won't.

Google Tasks has no bin, so nothing is deleted until you say yes.

  • Ask in plain words

    Search, add, tick off, reopen and move tasks.

  • Works with your MCP apps

    One address, added once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more.

  • Your tasks stay yours

    Never logged or used to train AI. Disconnect at any time.

Add it to your AI app.

Pick your app. It takes a few steps, once, and the same address works everywhere. The full guides are in the docs.

Claude

Claude on the web, the desktop app and the mobile app.

  1. In Claude on the web or in the Claude app, open Settings, then Connectors.

  2. Choose Add custom connector. Name it Sidekick for AI and paste the address:

    https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp

  3. Choose Add, then Connect. A sign-in page opens: choose Continue with Google on Sidekick's page, then your Google account on Google's page, and allow access to Google Tasks.

  4. Check it worked. Start a new chat, make sure Sidekick for AI is switched on in the tools menu, and ask "How many tasks do I have?"

On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds the connector in Admin settings first. Claude's plans decide how many custom connectors you can add.

Claude Code

Claude Code in your terminal or editor.

  1. In your terminal, add Sidekick for AI:

    claude mcp add --transport http sidekick https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp

  2. Start Claude Code, run /mcp, choose sidekick and Authenticate. Your browser opens the sign-in: choose Continue with Google on Sidekick's page, then your Google account on Google's page.

  3. Check it worked. /mcp shows sidekick as connected. Ask "List my task lists."

ChatGPT

  1. Check that your ChatGPT plan allows custom connectors. On business plans an admin may need to allow them first.

  2. Open Settings, then Apps & Connectors. Under Advanced settings, turn on Developer mode.

  3. Back in Apps & Connectors, choose Create. Name it Sidekick for AI, choose OAuth for authentication, and paste the address as the MCP server URL:

    https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp

  4. Create it, then choose Continue with Google on Sidekick's page, then your Google account on Google's page.

  5. Check it worked. In a new chat, choose Sidekick for AI from the tools menu and ask "What's overdue?"

ChatGPT's menus and plan rules change from time to time; if yours look different, OpenAI's help has the current steps.

Cursor

  1. Open Cursor Settings, then MCP, and choose New MCP Server. Cursor opens mcp.json.

  2. Add Sidekick for AI and save:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "sidekick": {
      "url": "https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  3. Sidekick for AI appears in the MCP list. Choose Connect (or Needs login), then choose Continue with Google on Sidekick's page, then your Google account on Google's page.

  4. Check it worked. The server shows as connected with its tools listed. Ask the agent "What's due this week?"

VS Code

  1. Add Sidekick for AI to .vscode/mcp.json in your project, or to your user MCP configuration:

    {
  "servers": {
    "sidekick": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  2. Choose Start above the server in the file, or run MCP: List Servers and start it. When VS Code asks you to sign in, choose Continue with Google on Sidekick's page, then your Google account on Google's page.

  3. Check it worked. In Copilot Chat's agent mode, the tools button lists Sidekick for AI. Ask "What's overdue?"

Full VS Code guide →

Other apps

  1. Look for Add MCP server, custom connector or remote server in the app's settings, and use the address. It's a Streamable HTTP server with OAuth sign-in:

    https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp

  2. If the app can only run local servers, use the mcp-remote bridge as the command. It needs Node.js 20.18 or later, and shows as MCP CLI Proxy when you sign in:

    npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.heysidekick.app/mcp

  3. When the app opens the sign-in page, choose Continue with Google on Sidekick's page, then your Google account on Google's page.

  4. Check it worked. The app lists Sidekick for AI's tools, such as review_pending and add_task.

Questions

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI apps such as Claude and ChatGPT use outside tools. Sidekick for AI is an MCP server: once you connect it, your AI app can read and change your Google Tasks when you ask it to.

Is Sidekick for AI made by Google?

No. It's made by the same independent developer as Sidekick for Mac, and it uses Google's official Tasks API. You sign in on Google's own page, so it never sees your Google password.

Do I need the Mac app?

No. Sidekick for AI runs on the web and works on its own, wherever you use your AI app. One Premium covers both, if you use both.

Which AI apps does it work with?

Any app that can connect to a remote MCP server with a sign-in, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code and VS Code. Some AI apps only allow custom connectors on certain plans; the setup guides say which.

Can the AI delete my tasks without asking?

No. Every delete starts with a preview of exactly which tasks would go and which are kept, and nothing is deleted until you approve it. Google Tasks has no bin, so deleted tasks can't be recovered.

Does it work with a work account?

Yes, with Google Workspace accounts where your administrator allows third-party apps to use Google Tasks.

When can I use it?

Sidekick for AI launches together with Sidekick for Mac. Both are coming soon.

Your Google Tasks, in every AI app you use.
