How to integrate Google Tasks MCP with Cursor

Cursor is one of the leading AI-powered code editors. It is built to help developers write, understand, and refactor code faster with AI assistance built directly into the editor.

And in this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Google Tasks account to Cursor via Composio Connect, so it can add a new task to your work list, list all tasks due this week, delete completed tasks from your shopping list, and more without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

Also integrate Google Tasks with

Why Composio?

  • 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Skip the work of building and maintaining integrations, Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors.
  • One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
  • Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand. A remote CLI workbench lets LLMs compose these tools into workflows for complex automation.

Connect Google Tasks to Cursor

Two ways to install — pick whichever you prefer.

1. Install with one click

Click the button below to add Composio to Cursor.

Install in Cursor

2. Or add manually

Add to your Cursor mcp.json

Open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global config) and add the following configuration:

bash
{
  "servers": {
    "composio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. Authorize

Restart Cursor, then click "Connect" next to Composio in MCP Tools settings.

A browser window will open to authorize.

Connect your Google Tasks account

Back in Cursor, ask the agent to connect to Google Tasks or give it any Google Tasks-related task.

For example, ask it to:

  • "Add a new task to your work list"
  • "List all tasks due this week"
  • "Delete completed tasks from your shopping list"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access to Google Tasks.

That is it. Composio tools are now available in Cursor, and your Google Tasks account is ready to use.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Clear tasksPermanently clears all completed tasks from a specified google tasks list; this action is destructive and idempotent.
Create a task listCreates a new task list with the specified title.
Delete taskDeletes a specified task from a given task list in google tasks.
Delete task listPermanently deletes an existing google task list, identified by `tasklist id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible.
Get TaskUse to retrieve a specific google task if its `task id` and parent `tasklist id` are known.
Get task listRetrieves a specific task list from the user's google tasks if the `tasklist id` exists for the authenticated user.
Insert TaskCreates 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.
List task listsFetches the authenticated user's task lists from google tasks; results may be paginated.
List TasksRetrieves 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.
Move TaskMoves the specified task to another position in the destination task list.
Patch TaskPartially 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.
Patch task listUpdates the title of an existing google tasks task list.
Update TaskUpdates the specified task.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Google Tasks MCP?

With a standalone Google Tasks MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Google Tasks tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Google Tasks and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Cursor?

Yes, you can. Cursor fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Google Tasks tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Google Tasks while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Google Tasks scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

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.
