The industry is converging on the very same idea. MCPs for all their merit can be token hungry, slow, and unreliable for complex tool chaining. However, coding agents have become incredibly good at working with CLIs, and in fact they are far more comfortable working with CLI tools than MCP. With Composio's Universal CLI, your coding agents can talk to over 1000+ SaaS applications. With Google Tasks, agents can add a new task to your work list, list all tasks due this week, delete completed tasks from your shopping list, and more — all without worrying about authentication. This guide walks you through Composio Universal CLI and explains how you can connect it with coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc, for end-to-end Google Tasks automation. ## Also integrate Google Tasks with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/hermes-agent) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googletasks/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR The idea behind building the universal CLI is to give agents a single command interface to interact with all your external applications. Here's what you'll get with it: - Agent-friendly: Coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode can use CLI tools natively — no MCP setup required. - Authentication handled: Connect once via OAuth or API Key, and all CLI commands work with your credentials automatically. - Tool discovery: Search, inspect, and execute 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps from one interface. - Trigger support: Use triggers to listen for events across your apps, powered by real-time webhooks or polling under the hood. - Type generation: Generate typed schemas for autocomplete and type safety in your projects. ## Connect Google Tasks to CLI ### Prerequisites Install the Composio CLI, authenticate, and initialize your project: ```bash # Install the Composio CLI curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash # Authenticate with Composio composio login ``` ## What is the Google Tasks MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Google Tasks MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Google Tasks account. It provides structured and secure access to your to-do lists and tasks, so your agent can create task lists, add or update tasks, reorganize and clean up your lists, and fetch or manage your action items automatically. - Intelligent task list management: Ask your agent to create new to-do lists, fetch existing ones, or remove lists you no longer need—all without manual clicks. - Automated task creation and updates: Let your agent add new tasks, set due dates, or update existing to-dos to keep your lists current and organized. - Efficient task organization and movement: Move tasks between lists, reorder them, or set parent/child relationships so your priorities always stay clear. - Fast cleanup and deletion: Direct your agent to clear completed tasks or delete specific items and lists, helping you declutter swiftly and securely. - Detailed task retrieval and review: Have your agent pull details on any task or list so you can review upcoming deadlines, notes, and status at a glance. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLETASKS_CLEAR_TASKS` | Clear tasks | Permanently clears all completed tasks from a specified google tasks list; this action is destructive and idempotent. | | `GOOGLETASKS_CREATE_TASK_LIST` | Create a task list | Creates a new task list with the specified title. | | `GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK` | Delete task | Deletes a specified task from a given task list in google tasks. | | `GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK_LIST` | Delete task list | Permanently deletes an existing google task list, identified by `tasklist id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible. | | `GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK` | Get Task | Use to retrieve a specific google task if its `task id` and parent `tasklist id` are known. | | `GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK_LIST` | Get task list | Retrieves a specific task list from the user's google tasks if the `tasklist id` exists for the authenticated user. | | `GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK` | Insert Task | Creates a new task in a given `tasklist id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task parent` or positioned after an existing `task previous` sibling, where both `task parent` and `task previous` must belong to the same `tasklist id` if specified. | | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS` | List task lists | Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from google tasks; results may be paginated. | | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASKS` | List Tasks | Retrieves tasks from a google tasks list; all date/time strings must be rfc3339 utc, and `showcompleted` must be true if `completedmin` or `completedmax` are specified. | | `GOOGLETASKS_MOVE_TASK` | Move Task | Moves the specified task to another position in the destination task list. | | `GOOGLETASKS_PATCH_TASK` | Patch Task | Partially updates an existing task (identified by `task id`) within a specific google task list (identified by `tasklist id`), modifying only the provided attributes from `taskinput` (e.g., `title`, `notes`, `due` date, `status`) and requiring both the task and list to exist. | | `GOOGLETASKS_PATCH_TASK_LIST` | Patch task list | Updates the title of an existing google tasks task list. | | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK` | Update Task | Updates the specified task. | | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK_LIST` | Update Task List | Updates the authenticated user's specified task list. | ## Supported Triggers | Trigger slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GOOGLETASKS_NEW_TASK_CREATED_TRIGGER` | New Task Created | Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks. | | `GOOGLETASKS_NEW_TASK_LIST_CREATED_TRIGGER` | New Task List Created | Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected. | | `GOOGLETASKS_TASK_DETAILS_CHANGED_TRIGGER` | Task Details Changed | Triggers when a specific task's details change.

The Composio Universal CLI is a single command-line interface that lets coding agents and developers interact with 1000+ SaaS applications. It handles authentication, tool discovery, action execution, and trigger setup — all from the terminal, without needing to configure MCP servers. ### Which coding agents work with the Composio CLI? Any coding agent that can run shell commands works with the Composio CLI — including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and others. Once the CLI is installed, agents automatically discover and use the composio commands to interact with Google Tasks and other connected apps. ### How is the CLI different from using an MCP server for Google Tasks? MCP servers require configuration and can be token-heavy for complex workflows. The CLI gives agents a direct, lightweight interface — no server setup needed. Agents simply call composio commands like any other shell tool. It's faster to set up, more reliable for multi-step tool chaining, and works natively with how coding agents already operate. ### How safe is my Google Tasks data when using the Composio CLI? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Google Tasks data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials for full control. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
