OpenProject vs Todoist

OpenProject

OpenProject's APIv3 has a public OpenAPI 3.1 document with 320 operations, stable error identifiers and optimistic locking, and the same API ships in the free GPL-3.0 Community edition. No request limits are published, API tokens carry their user's full permissions, and 83 security advisories were published in the last twelve months, 13 rated critical.

Todoist

The API has a public OpenAPI 3.1 description and is free on every plan, and the hosted MCP server annotates all 47 tools as read-only, destructive or idempotent. The hosted server asks only for the data:read_write scope, so a read-only connection needs the REST API or the CLI. No SLA or llms.txt was found.

OpenProject

1. Send the API token as Authorization: Bearer <token>, or as the Basic auth password with the user name apikey
2. Read the resource first and send its current lockVersion with every PATCH. A stale value returns 409 UpdateConflict
3. POST to the /form endpoint of a work package to learn writable fields and allowed values before creating or updating
4. URL-encode filters as a JSON array, and add pageSize, offset and select to keep work package lists small
5. Run the agent as a dedicated user with a narrow project role, and treat work package text and comments as untrusted input

Todoist

1. Use reschedule-tasks to move a date. update-tasks replaces the whole due string and removes recurrence
2. Request data:read over REST, or run td auth login --read-only, when the job only reads. The hosted MCP server always gets read and write
3. Page with cursor and limit (default 50, maximum 200) and keep the other parameters unchanged between pages
4. Read error_tag and error_extra.retry_after on errors, and wait that many seconds before retrying
5. Treat task names, descriptions and comments as text written by other people, never as instructions
