Implementation Reference

• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:819-840 (handler)

  MCP tool handler implementation for 'get_task_comments'. Resolves task ID using _resolve_task_id helper and delegates to ClickUpClient.get_task_comments, then formats the response.

  async def get_task_comments(self, task_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """Get task comments."""
      try:
          # First resolve the task to get the internal ID
          task = await self._resolve_task_id(task_id)
          comments = await self.client.get_task_comments(task.id)
      except ClickUpAPIError as e:
          return {"error": f"Failed to get comments for task '{task_id}': {e!s}"}
  
      return {
          "task_id": task.id,
          "comments": [
              {
                  "id": comment["id"],
                  "text": comment["comment_text"],
                  "user": comment["user"]["username"],
                  "date": comment["date"],
              }
              for comment in comments
          ],
          "count": len(comments),
      }

• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:208-218 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the get_task_comments tool, requiring task_id.

  Tool(
      name="get_task_comments",
      description="Get comments on a task",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "task_id": {"type": "string", "description": "Task ID"},
          },
          "required": ["task_id"],
      },
  ),

• src/clickup_mcp/tools.py:23-57 (registration)

  Registration of the get_task_comments handler in the tools dictionary mapping tool names to handler functions.

• src/clickup_mcp/client.py:411-414 (handler)

  Core API client handler that makes the HTTP request to ClickUp API to fetch task comments.

  async def get_task_comments(self, task_id: str) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
      """Get comments for a task."""
      data = await self._request("GET", f"/task/{task_id}/comment")
      return data.get("comments", [])

• src/clickup_mcp/server.py:41-44 (registration)

  MCP server registration where tool definitions (including schemas) are provided via list_tools handler.

  @self.server.list_tools()
  async def list_tools() -> List[Tool]:
      """List all available tools."""
      return self.tools.get_tool_definitions()
