Google Tasks for AI agents

Google Tasks is a simple to-do list integrated into Gmail and Calendar for quick personal task tracking. Teams use it to keep project work visible instead of tracking it across separate spreadsheets. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Google Tasks in three steps.

01Your users connect Google TasksThey sign in to Google Tasks on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create a task list” can wait for the user, and “delete task” can be denied outright.
03Any agent can actYour agent calls Google Tasks through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.

POLICY.TS

await arc0.policies.set('google_tasks', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_task_list
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_task
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Google Tasks connects.

Users sign in to Google Tasks on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Google Tasks OAuth app, or bring your own so the Google Tasks consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Google Tasks connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

AUTH: OAuth 2.0
CREDENTIALS: Per-tenant encrypted vault
MODEL SEES: Results only, never credentials
AUDIT LOG: Every call, on every plan

07 · FAQ

Google Tasks and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Google Tasks with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Google Tasks to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Google Tasks actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Google Tasks?

Q03

Which Google Tasks actions can my agent take?

18 in total: 5 read, 10 write and 3 destructive, such as “create a task list”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Google Tasks?

Yes. Actions like “delete task” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Google Tasks too?

Yes. The same Google Tasks connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
