ClickUp MCP Server – Tasks and Workspace Automation

Overview

ClickUp's official MCP server connects compatible AI assistants to a user's
ClickUp Workspace through a hosted remote service. After OAuth authorization,
the agent can work with current tasks, Lists, Folders, Docs, comments, and other
permitted ClickUp data instead of relying only on information pasted manually
into a prompt.

What the MCP server enables

ClickUp documents a broad tool set that covers workspace search, task
management, collaboration, reporting, and time tracking. Depending on the
signed-in user's permissions, an AI agent can:

• Search across tasks, Lists, Folders, Docs, and comments.
• Create, retrieve, update, and delete tasks and subtasks.
• Create and update tasks in bulk.
• Set custom fields, tags, dependencies, and task links.
• Upload task attachments and retrieve or post comments.
• Summarize comment threads and extract action items.
• Start and stop timers, log historical time entries, and retrieve time data.
• Build status updates, release notes, portfolio summaries, and other reports.
• Combine multiple tools in one workflow to route and enrich work.

When to use it

Use ClickUp MCP when an AI workflow needs live workspace context or must perform
an authorized productivity action. Typical examples include creating a task
from a bug report, finding overdue work, assigning tasks, updating priorities
and due dates, summarizing a project, generating an executive status update,
logging time, or posting a progress comment from an AI assistant.

Connection and authentication

The official endpoint is https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp over remote HTTP.
ClickUp supports OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. API keys and personal access tokens are
not supported for MCP authentication.

Clients that cannot connect directly to a remote MCP server can use the
documented mcp-remote stdio bridge. ClickUp maintains an allowlist of vetted
MCP client redirect URIs, and unsupported custom clients may need to request
review before their OAuth redirect URI is accepted.

Key considerations

ClickUp MCP is currently in public beta and is available on all ClickUp plans.
Every action is limited by the authenticated user's existing Workspace
permissions. Without the Everything AI add-on, documented rolling 24-hour
limits are 50 calls on Free Forever and 300 calls on Unlimited and above;
workspaces with Everything AI use ClickUp Public API plan-based rate limits.
Rate limits and feature restrictions may change. Require human confirmation for
destructive actions such as deleting tasks, and connect only trusted MCP clients.
