ClickUp MCP Server
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
- 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
