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: v0.5.2 release with new Attach Task Files tool, Create Task Comments tool, Get Task Comments tool, Custom ID support across all tools, and Subtasks support.

Setup

Get your credentials:
- ClickUp API key from ClickUp Settings
- Team ID from your ClickUp workspace URL
Choose either hosted installation (sends webhooks) or NPX installation (downloads to local path and installs dependencies)
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"
      }
    }
  }
}

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

Error Handling

The server provides clear error messages for:
