Build your Agent

Drop the toolkit in, point it at the user, and your agent can manage Todoist tasks and projects from the first run.

SEE HOW AUTH WORKS

Users authorize Todoist once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every task action runs under their identity, and every call is logged.

Authorize

Your user connects

Todoist MCP

once. We tie it to their identity and the meetings they approved — no shared bot account, no org-wide access

Who:

user ‘A’

when:

Once per user

access:

Limited to user

Store

Their

Todoist MCP

token lives in a vault scoped to them. User A's meetings are never reachable by an agent acting for user B, even on the same connection

vault:

encrypted

scope:

per-user

tokens:

auto-refreshed

Resolve

When your agent calls a

Todoist MCP

tool, we fetch the right token server-side. It never touches your agent, never appears in the LLM context, never shows up in your logs

speed:

~40ms

check:

before every call

seen by:

nobody

Audit

Every

Todoist MCP

tool call is logged — who triggered it, which meeting was fetched, what came back. 90 days of history, tied to the user who authorized it

history:

90 days

export:

SIEM-ready

logged:

every call

Test other agents

Same per-user auth pattern across other productivity and project management connectors.

Support and Ops Teams

Email-to-calendar agent

Reads scheduling intent out of Gmail threads, resolves the times everyone actually has free, and creates the event on the user's own Google Calendar. No shared service account.

Gmail

Google Calendar

View agent

Support and Ops Teams

Meeting prep

Pulls agenda, participant context, and open action items before every meeting.

GTM and RevOps Teams

Sales call prep agent

Reads tomorrow's calls from Google Calendar, mines past Granola notes and Attio history for context, and delivers each rep a prep brief in Slack, scoped to the calls that rep actually owns.

GTM and RevOps Teams

CRM AI agent

Reads the Granola transcript after every call, extracts next steps and updates the HubSpot record, drafts the follow-up in Gmail, and confirms in Slack, all on the rep's own delegated OAuth.

Why Scalekit

Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes

01.

Shared tokens break per-user analytics

A shared token looks fine in a demo. In production every call looks like a service account. Scalekit resolves the real user credential so attribution, audit, and scope stay accurate.

// shared token
 audit → bot_service_account
 user_filter → broken

 // scalekit
 audit → user_abc
 scope → enforced ✓

02.

Authentication is not authorization

03.

Multi-tenancy is architectural

04.

Todoist MCP today. Others tomorrow.

“Our agents act across Salesforce, Gong, Google Drive, and more, on behalf of every customer. Scalekit behind the scenes meant we can keep adding tools without ever rebuilding how credentials or tool calling work.”

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the agent access Todoist as the user or a shared account?

As the user. Each person authorizes once and all task actions are attributed to that user's Todoist account.

Where is the Todoist OAuth token stored?

In Scalekit's AES-256 vault, namespaced per tenant. Tokens never appear in prompts or LLM context.

Can I restrict the agent to read-only task access?

Yes. Use listScopedTools to allow task listing without granting creation or completion.

What happens when a user revokes Todoist access?

The connection is invalidated on the next tool call. Subsequent requests fail closed.

Can the agent create Todoist tasks from Slack messages in one workflow?

Yes. A single agent can read Slack messages and create Todoist tasks in the same workflow, using the same user identity.

What other MCP connectors does Scalekit support?

Scalekit runs the Asana MCP server, Notion MCP server, and Trello MCP server on the same per-user auth, token vault, and audit trail. Browse 500+ connectors in the MCP connector directory.
