## Description

Creates a new task and adds it to the authenticated user's task lists. [See the docs here](https://developers.google.com/tasks/reference/rest/v1/tasks/insert)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `taskListId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of the task list. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `title` | `string` | Yes | The title of the task. |
| `notes` | `string` | No | The description of the task. |
| `completed` | `boolean` | No | Mark as true if your task is already completed. |
| `due` | `string` | No | Due date of the task (as a RFC 3339 timestamp, for example 2026-07-26T00:00:00Z). Optional. The due date only records date information; the time portion of the timestamp is discarded when setting the due date. It isn't possible to read or write the time that a task is due via the API. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "google_tasks",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "google_tasks-create-task",
  arguments: {
    taskListId: "Task List",
    title: "Title",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "google_tasks-create-task",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    google_tasks: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
