# ClickUp MCP Server - Tool Naming Update ## Overview All ClickUp MCP server tools have been renamed with a `clickup_` prefix to prevent naming conflicts with other MCP servers, particularly Task Master MCP server. ## Problem Solved **Issue**: Tool name conflicts between multiple MCP servers - ClickUp MCP Server had tools like `get_tasks`, `create_task`, `update_task` - Task Master MCP Server had similar tools like `get_tasks`, `create_task`, `remove_task` - When both servers were running simultaneously, AI agents couldn't distinguish which server should handle which tool call - This led to unintended actions and parameter mismatches ## Solution **Namespaced Tool Names**: All 170+ ClickUp tools now have the `clickup_` prefix ### Examples of Changes | Old Tool Name | New Tool Name | |---------------|---------------| | `get_workspaces` | `clickup_get_workspaces` | | `get_tasks` | `clickup_get_tasks` | | `create_task` | `clickup_create_task` | | `update_task` | `clickup_update_task` | | `get_task_details` | `clickup_get_task_details` | | `create_list` | `clickup_create_list` | | `get_spaces` | `clickup_get_spaces` | | `create_checklist` | `clickup_create_checklist` | | `get_task_comments` | `clickup_get_task_comments` | | `create_task_comment` | `clickup_create_task_comment` | ## Files Updated ### Tool Files (116 tools renamed) - `src/tools/task-tools.ts` - 18 tools - `src/tools/space-tools.ts` - 2 tools - `src/tools/checklist-tools.ts` - 6 tools - `src/tools/comment-tools.ts` - 11 tools - `src/tools/doc-tools-enhanced.ts` - 14 tools - `src/tools/custom-field-tools.ts` - 15 tools - `src/tools/time-tracking-tools.ts` - 10 tools - `src/tools/goals-tools.ts` - 12 tools - `src/tools/webhook-tools-setup.ts` - 11 tools - `src/tools/views-tools-setup.ts` - 13 tools - `src/tools/dependencies-tools-setup.ts` - 12 tools - `src/tools/attachments-tools-setup.ts` - 14 tools - `src/tools/chat-tools.ts` - 24 tools - `src/tools/helper-tools.ts` - 5 tools ### Documentation Updated - `README.md` - Updated all tool examples and documentation - Added new section explaining the naming convention ## Benefits 1. **Conflict Prevention**: No more ambiguity about which server handles which tool 2. **Clear Identification**: Easy to distinguish ClickUp tools from other services 3. **Better UX**: AI agents can now reliably call the correct tools 4. **Future-Proof**: Prevents conflicts with any future MCP servers ## Migration Guide If you have existing AI prompts or scripts using the old tool names, update them: ```typescript // Old usage get_tasks({ list_id: "123" }) create_task({ list_id: "123", name: "New Task" }) // New usage clickup_get_tasks({ list_id: "123" }) clickup_create_task({ list_id: "123", name: "New Task" }) ``` ## Verification - ✅ All 170+ tools successfully renamed - ✅ TypeScript compilation successful - ✅ No breaking changes to functionality - ✅ Documentation updated - ✅ Examples updated ## Version Impact This change is included in version 3.3.0+ of the ClickUp MCP Server. --- **Date**: 2025-08-22 **Total Tools Renamed**: 116 **Files Modified**: 14 tool files + README.md **Status**: ✅ Complete
