• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:951-974 (handler)

  The handler function that implements the list_folders tool. It fetches folders using the ClickUpClient and returns a formatted JSON response with folder details including nested lists.
  async def list_folders(self, space_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: """List folders in space.""" folders = await self.client.get_folders(space_id) return { "space_id": space_id, "folders": [ { "id": folder.id, "name": folder.name, "task_count": folder.task_count, "lists": [ { "id": lst.id, "name": lst.name, "task_count": lst.task_count, } for lst in folder.lists ], } for folder in folders ], "count": len(folders), }
• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:297-307 (schema)

  The Tool schema definition for list_folders, specifying the input schema that requires a space_id parameter.
  Tool( name="list_folders", description="List folders in a space", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": { "space_id": {"type": "string", "description": "Space ID"}, }, "required": ["space_id"], }, ),
• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:23-57 (registration)

  Registration of the list_folders handler method in the internal _tools dictionary of ClickUpTools class, which is used by the call_tool method to dispatch calls.
  self._tools: Dict[str, Callable] = { "create_task": self.create_task, "get_task": self.get_task, "update_task": self.update_task, "delete_task": self.delete_task, "list_tasks": self.list_tasks, "search_tasks": self.search_tasks, "get_subtasks": self.get_subtasks, "get_task_comments": self.get_task_comments, "create_task_comment": self.create_task_comment, "get_task_status": self.get_task_status, "update_task_status": self.update_task_status, "get_assignees": self.get_assignees, "assign_task": self.assign_task, "list_spaces": self.list_spaces, "list_folders": self.list_folders, "list_lists": self.list_lists, "find_list_by_name": self.find_list_by_name, # Bulk operations "bulk_update_tasks": self.bulk_update_tasks, "bulk_move_tasks": self.bulk_move_tasks, # Time tracking "get_time_tracked": self.get_time_tracked, "log_time": self.log_time, # Templates "create_task_from_template": self.create_task_from_template, "create_task_chain": self.create_task_chain, # Analytics "get_team_workload": self.get_team_workload, "get_task_analytics": self.get_task_analytics, # User management "list_users": self.list_users, "get_current_user": self.get_current_user, "find_user_by_name": self.find_user_by_name, }
• src/clickup_mcp/server.py:41-45 (registration)

  MCP server registration for listing tools, which returns the tool definitions (including list_folders schema) from ClickUpTools.get_tool_definitions().
  @self.server.list_tools() async def list_tools() -> List[Tool]: """List all available tools.""" return self.tools.get_tool_definitions()
• src/clickup_mcp/client.py:206-211 (helper)

  Helper method in ClickUpClient that performs the actual API request to retrieve folders from a ClickUp space and parses them into Folder model objects.
  async def get_folders(self, space_id: str) -> List[Folder]: """Get all folders in a space.""" data = await self._request("GET", f"/space/{space_id}/folder") folders = data.get("folders", []) return [Folder(**folder) for folder in folders]
