# ClickUp MCP (Official) Access ClickUp via the official MCP server. Full workspace search, task management, time tracking, comments, chat, and docs. ## Setup ### Option 1: Direct OAuth (Supported Clients Only) ClickUp MCP only allows OAuth from **allowlisted clients**: - Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT ```bash # Claude Code claude mcp add clickup --transport http https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp # Then /mcp in session to authorize ``` ### Option 2: Claude Code → mcporter (Recommended) Use Claude Code to OAuth, then extract token for mcporter: **Step 1: Authorize via Claude Code** ```bash claude mcp add clickup --transport http https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp claude # In Claude Code, run: /mcp # Complete OAuth in browser ``` **Step 2: Extract token** ```bash jq -r '.mcpOAuth | to_entries | .[] | select(.key | startswith("clickup")) | .value.accessToken' ~/.claude/.credentials.json ``` **Step 3: Add to environment** ```bash # Add to ~/.clawdbot/.env CLICKUP_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJkaXIi... ``` **Step 4: Configure mcporter** Add to `config/mcporter.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "clickup": { "baseUrl": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp", "description": "Official ClickUp MCP", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CLICKUP_TOKEN}" } } } } ``` **Step 5: Test** ```bash mcporter list clickup mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_search(keywords: "test", count: 3)' ``` ### Token Refresh Tokens are long-lived (~10 years). If expired: 1. Re-run `/mcp` in Claude Code 2. Re-extract token from `~/.claude/.credentials.json` 3. Update `CLICKUP_TOKEN` in `.env` ## Available Tools (32) ### Search | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_search` | Universal search across tasks, docs, dashboards, chat, files | ### Tasks | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_create_task` | Create task with name, description, status, assignees, due date, priority | | `clickup_get_task` | Get task details (with optional subtasks) | | `clickup_update_task` | Update any task field | | `clickup_attach_task_file` | Attach file to task (URL or base64) | | `clickup_add_tag_to_task` | Add tag to task | | `clickup_remove_tag_from_task` | Remove tag from task | ### Comments | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_get_task_comments` | Get all comments on task | | `clickup_create_task_comment` | Add comment (supports @mentions) | ### Time Tracking | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_start_time_tracking` | Start timer on task | | `clickup_stop_time_tracking` | Stop active timer | | `clickup_add_time_entry` | Log time manually | | `clickup_get_task_time_entries` | Get time entries for task | | `clickup_get_current_time_entry` | Check active timer | ### Workspace & Hierarchy | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_get_workspace_hierarchy` | Get full structure (Spaces, Folders, Lists) | | `clickup_create_list` | Create list in Space | | `clickup_create_list_in_folder` | Create list in Folder | | `clickup_get_list` | Get list details | | `clickup_update_list` | Update list settings | | `clickup_create_folder` | Create folder in Space | | `clickup_get_folder` | Get folder details | | `clickup_update_folder` | Update folder settings | ### Members | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_get_workspace_members` | List all workspace members | | `clickup_find_member_by_name` | Find member by name/email | | `clickup_resolve_assignees` | Get user IDs from names | ### Chat | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_get_chat_channels` | List all Chat channels | | `clickup_send_chat_message` | Send message to channel | ### Docs | Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | `clickup_create_document` | Create new Doc | | `clickup_list_document_pages` | Get Doc structure | | `clickup_get_document_pages` | Get page content | | `clickup_create_document_page` | Add page to Doc | | `clickup_update_document_page` | Edit page content | ## Usage Examples ### Search Workspace ```bash mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_search( keywords: "Q4 marketing", count: 10 )' ``` ### Create Task ```bash mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_create_task( name: "Review PR #42", list_id: "901506994423", description: "Check the new feature", status: "to do" )' ``` ### Update Task ```bash mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_update_task( task_id: "abc123", status: "in progress" )' ``` ### Add Comment ```bash mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_create_task_comment( task_id: "abc123", comment_text: "@Mark can you review this?" )' ``` ### Time Tracking ```bash # Start timer mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_start_time_tracking( task_id: "abc123", description: "Working on feature" )' # Stop timer mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_stop_time_tracking()' # Log time manually (duration in ms, e.g., 2h = 7200000) mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_add_time_entry( task_id: "abc123", start: "2026-01-06 10:00", duration: "2h", description: "Code review" )' ``` ### Get Workspace Structure ```bash mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_get_workspace_hierarchy(limit: 10)' ``` ### Chat ```bash # List channels mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_get_chat_channels()' # Send message mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_send_chat_message( channel_id: "channel-123", content: "Team standup in 5 minutes!" )' ``` ## Limitations - **No delete operations** — Safety measure; use ClickUp UI - **No custom fields** — Not exposed in official MCP - **No views management** — Not available - **OAuth required** — Must use allowlisted client (Claude Code workaround available) - **Rate limits** — Same as ClickUp API (~100 req/min) ## Resources - [ClickUp MCP Documentation](https://developer.clickup.com/docs/connect-an-ai-assistant-to-clickups-mcp-server) - [Supported Tools](https://developer.clickup.com/docs/mcp-tools) - [ClickUp API Reference](https://clickup.com/api) - [Feedback / Allowlist Request](https://feedback.clickup.com)
