ClickUp MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating ClickUp tasks with AI applications. This server allows AI agents to interact with ClickUp tasks, spaces, lists, and folders through a standardized protocol.

🚀 Status Update: v0.7.2 now available with complete Time Tracking support and Document Management features.

Setup

1. Get your credentials:
   • ClickUp API key from ClickUp Settings
   • Team ID from your ClickUp workspace URL
2. Choose either hosted installation (sends webhooks) or NPX installation (downloads to local path and installs dependencies)
3. Use natural language to manage your workspace!

Smithery Installation (Quick Start)

The server is hosted on Smithery. There, you can preview the available tools or copy the commands to run on your specific client app.

NPX Installation

Add this entry to your client's MCP settings JSON file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id",
        "DOCUMENT_SUPPORT": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or use this npx command:

npx -y @taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest --env CLICKUP_API_KEY=your-api-key --env CLICKUP_TEAM_ID=your-team-id

Obs: if you don't pass "DOCUMENT_SUPPORT": "true", the default is false and document support will not be active.

Additionally, you can use the DISABLED_TOOLS environment variable or --env DISABLED_TOOLS argument to disable specific tools. Provide a comma-separated list of tool names to disable (e.g., create_task,delete_task).

Please disable tools you don't need if you are having issues with the number of tools or any context limitations

Prompts

Not yet implemented and not supported by all client apps. Request a feature for a Prompt implementation that would be most beneficial for your workflow (without it being too specific). Examples:

Prompt	Purpose	Features
summarize_tasks	Task overview	Status summary, priorities, relationships
analyze_priorities	Priority optimization	Distribution analysis, sequencing
generate_description	Task description creation	Objectives, criteria, dependencies

Error Handling

The server provides clear error messages for:

• Missing required parameters
• Invalid IDs or names
• Items not found
• Permission issues
• API errors
• Rate limiting

The LOG_LEVEL environment variable can be specified to control the verbosity of server logs. Valid values are trace, debug, info, warn, and error (default). This can be also be specified on the command line as, e.g. --env LOG_LEVEL=info.
