# 🚨 URGENT FIX: ClickUp Task Creation/Update HTML Issue ## Issue Summary The ClickUp MCP server was incorrectly converting markdown content to HTML and sending it via the `description` field, causing HTML formatting to appear in ClickUp task descriptions instead of proper markdown rendering. ## Root Cause - Markdown content was being converted to HTML using `markdownToHtml()` - HTML was sent via `description` field instead of `markdown_content` field - ClickUp API expects raw markdown in `markdown_content` field for proper rendering ## ✅ FIXES APPLIED ### 1. Fixed Content Processing Logic **File:** `src/utils/markdown.ts` - Modified `prepareContentForClickUp()` to use `markdown_content` field for markdown - Markdown now sent as raw markdown, not converted to HTML - HTML and plain text still use `description` field correctly ### 2. Updated Task Interfaces **File:** `src/clickup-client/tasks.ts` - Added `markdown_content` field to `CreateTaskParams` and `UpdateTaskParams` - Updated `createTask()` and `updateTask()` methods to handle new field - Added logic to remove `description` when using `markdown_content` ### 3. Enhanced Tool Definitions **File:** `src/tools/task-tools.ts` - Added `markdown_content` parameter to both create and update tools - Added preference logic: `markdown_content` takes priority over `description` - Improved parameter descriptions for clarity ## 🎯 BEHAVIOR CHANGES | Content Type | Before | After | |--------------|--------|-------| | Markdown | `description: "<h1>HTML</h1>"` | `markdown_content: "# Markdown"` | | HTML | `description: "<h1>HTML</h1>"` | `description: "<h1>HTML</h1>"` ✅ | | Plain Text | `description: "text"` | `description: "text"` ✅ | ## ✅ VERIFICATION COMPLETED - ✅ Build successful with no compilation errors - ✅ Markdown detection working correctly - ✅ Field selection logic verified - ✅ Edge cases handled (empty, null, undefined) - ✅ Backward compatibility maintained ## 🔧 TESTING TOOLS AVAILABLE 1. **Test Tool Created:** `clickup_test_task_update` - for verifying update functionality 2. **Documentation:** `TASK_CREATION_FIX.md` - detailed technical documentation ## 📋 IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS 1. **Test the fix** with actual ClickUp API: ```bash # Use the MCP server to create a task with markdown clickup_create_task({ list_id: "your_list_id", name: "Test Markdown Task", description: "# Header\n\nThis is **bold** text" }) ``` 2. **Verify task update works**: ```bash # Test updating the problematic task clickup_update_task({ task_id: "868fa998b", description: "# Fixed Description\n\nNow with **proper** markdown" }) ``` 3. **Check existing tasks** that have HTML formatting issues and update them ## 🚀 EXPECTED RESULTS - ✅ New tasks with markdown will render properly in ClickUp - ✅ Task updates will work correctly - ✅ No more HTML tags appearing in task descriptions - ✅ Existing HTML/plain text tasks continue to work ## 📁 FILES MODIFIED 1. `src/utils/markdown.ts` - Core content processing logic 2. `src/clickup-client/tasks.ts` - Task client interfaces and methods 3. `src/tools/task-tools.ts` - MCP tool definitions 4. `src/tools/test-task-update.ts` - New test tool (optional) --- **Status:** ✅ **READY FOR TESTING** **Build:** ✅ **SUCCESSFUL** **Risk:** 🟢 **LOW** (Backward compatible, only fixes broken behavior)
