Microsoft To Do for AI agents

Microsoft To Do is a task management app for creating and tracking personal task lists, checklists, and reminders across devices. 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.
