Google Tasks connector

The google-tasks MCP adapter wraps the Google Tasks API. Use it in workflow mcp_call steps to create follow-ups from form submissions, list open tasks for digests, mark items complete after approvals, and organize work across multiple task lists — lightweight task tracking without a full project-management tool.

Prerequisites

A Google account with Google Tasks access
A Google Workspace connection in AgentRuntime (OAuth via the Google account card on Connections)
project_contributor access in your workspace

Connect in AgentRuntime

Connect Google

On Connections, use the Google account card and complete OAuth. See Google Workspace setup and Connections.

Enable Tasks

On your Google connection, enable the Tasks service so the account exposes Tasks API scopes.

Add google-tasks MCP instance

Go to MCP, click Add instance for google-tasks. Open Instance config, wire your Google connection, and set the profile active.

Test in a workflow

Smoke-test with mcp_call in Workflow Studio. Test with list_tasklists before production workflows.

What you can build

Support ticket follow-up — Zendesk or webhook payload → create_task in “Support queue” list with due date → gmail assignee notification.
Daily task digest — Morning schedule → list_tasks with show_completed: false → LLM priority summary → slack post to team channel.
Form-to-action — google-form new response → create_task with respondent notes → update_task when human_task resolves the case.
Sprint cleanup — End of sprint cron → list_tasks filtered by completed_min → archive notes to google-sheets → clear_completed_tasks on the list.

Tools

Tool	Description
`update_tasklist`	Rename an existing Google task list.
`get_task`	Get a Google task by task ID.

Example

Create a follow-up task when a high-priority form response arrives:

{
  "id": "create-followup",
  "type": "mcp_call",
  "name": "Create support follow-up",
  "tool_name": "create_task",
  "tool_args": {
    "task_list_id": "{{input.support_task_list_id}}",
    "title": "Follow up: {{input.respondent_email}}",
    "notes": "Form response ID: {{input.response_id}}\n\n{{input.summary}}",
    "due": "{{input.due_date}}"
  },
  "depends_on": [],
  "timeout_s": 30
}

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Reconnect prompt on Google connection	Re-authorize OAuth; Tasks scopes may have been revoked
Task list not found	Run `list_tasklists` to resolve the correct `task_list_id` — titles are not IDs
Subtask positioning wrong	Pass `parent` for subtasks and `previous` sibling ID for ordering
Completed tasks still listed	Set `show_completed: false` on `list_tasks`, or run `clear_completed_tasks` after archival
