### Configuration
1. Environment Variables
```env
CLICKUP_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
NODE_ENV=development
PORT=3000
```
2. TypeScript Configuration
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ES2020",
"module": "ESNext",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"strict": true
}
}
```
3. ESLint Configuration
```json
{
"extends": [
"eslint:recommended",
"plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended"
]
}
```
