How to connect Microsoft To Do MCP with ChatGPT

ChatGPT can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours, and turn a goal into finished materials like sheets, slides, and docs, not just answers.

In this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Microsoft To Do account to ChatGPT via Composio Connect, so it can create and update tasks, complete tasks, manage task lists, add checklist items, and attach files through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

For exact tool slugs and parameter tables, see the tool catalog in the Composio docs.

Why use Composio over default connectors?

  • Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's Microsoft To Do integration lets ChatGPT take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
  • 1,700+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
  • 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.
  • Cross-app automation. Chain actions across multiple apps in a single run - fetch a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post highlights to Slack without leaving the conversation.

Prerequisites

  • A ChatGPT account. We will use the ChatGPT desktop app, and the steps are the same on the web.
  • Access to the Microsoft To Do workspace you want to connect.
  • Composio plugin.

Note: Composio connects through OAuth. You will be asked to sign in and approve specific permissions. Review the permission screen carefully if you are using a work account.

In ChatGPT, go to Settings and open the Plugins section. Inside the Plugins page, click the MCP tab.

Security + privacy notes (important)

  • Use least-privilege access: Only grant permissions you actually need.
  • Review OAuth permissions before approving: Make sure requested scopes match what you expect Composio and ChatGPT to do.
  • Keep write actions human-reviewed: For actions like sending messages, creating labels, or editing drafts, keep manual confirmation enabled.
  • Be careful with sensitive data: Avoid using this setup with highly sensitive information unless allowed by your personal, company, or client policies.
