Verified

remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Allows AI agents to interact with ClickUp tasks, spaces, lists, and folders, including creating, updating, deleting, moving and duplicating tasks, as well as managing workspace organization through a standardized Model Context Protocol (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: Rolling out v0.6.5 will add Global Task Lookup with smart disambiguation, Start Date Support for tasks with natural language expressions, Complete Tag Support including natural language tag color commands, Subtasks Support, Custom ID Support, and Logging Fixes

Setup

  1. Get your credentials:
  2. Choose either hosted installation (sends webhooks) or NPX installation (downloads to local path and installs dependencies)
  3. 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:

  • Missing required parameters
  • Invalid IDs or names
  • Items not found
  • Permission issues
  • API errors
  • Rate limiting

The LOG_LEVEL environment variable can be specified to control the verbosity of server logs. Valid values are trace, debug, info, warn, and error (default). This can be also be specified on the command line as, e.g. --env LOG_LEVEL=info.
