| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| clickup_whoamiA | Get the currently authenticated ClickUp user |
| clickup_workspace_listB | List all ClickUp workspaces (teams) accessible to the current user |
| clickup_space_listA | List all spaces in a ClickUp workspace. Spaces are the top-level containers below the workspace and hold folders, lists, and tasks. Returns a compact array of space objects (id, name, private, archived). Use clickup_folder_list or clickup_list_list with a space_id to drill down. |
| clickup_folder_listA | List all folders in a ClickUp space. Folders are optional groupings that contain lists; a space may also have folderless lists (use clickup_list_list with space_id for those). Returns a compact array of folder objects (id, name, task_count, archived). |
| clickup_list_listA | List ClickUp lists under either a folder or a space (folderless lists). Exactly one of folder_id or space_id must be provided. Returns a compact array of list objects (id, name, task_count, archived). Use clickup_task_list to drill into a specific list. |
| clickup_task_listA | List tasks in a specific ClickUp list with optional status/assignee filters. Returns the first page of task objects in compact form (id, name, status, assignees, due_date). For cross-list or cross-space queries use clickup_task_search instead; for a single task use clickup_task_get. |
| clickup_task_getA | Fetch the full object for a single ClickUp task — name, description, status, assignees, tags, custom fields, checklists, due date, time estimates, dependencies, and more. Returns the task object. Use clickup_task_list or clickup_task_search to find a task_id. |
| clickup_task_createA | Create a new task in a ClickUp list. The task starts in the list's default status unless 'status' is supplied. Returns the created task object including its new id, which you can pass to clickup_task_update, clickup_task_get, etc. |
| clickup_task_updateA | Update fields on an existing ClickUp task — name, description, status, priority, and incrementally add/remove assignees. Only provided fields are changed; omitted fields keep their current value. For tags use clickup_task_add_tag/remove_tag; for moving between lists use clickup_task_move. Returns the updated task object. |
| clickup_task_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp task along with all its subtasks, comments, checklists, attachments, and time entries. Destructive, irreversible, and cascading — confirm with the user before calling. To mark a task done without deleting, use clickup_task_update with a 'closed' status instead. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_task_searchA | Search tasks across an entire ClickUp workspace with optional space/list/status/assignee filters — useful for cross-list queries. Returns a paginated array of task objects. For tasks in a single list, prefer clickup_task_list (fewer parameters, same shape). |
| clickup_comment_listA | List comments on a ClickUp task in chronological order (oldest first). Only top-level comments are returned; use clickup_comment_replies to fetch a threaded reply chain. Returns a compact array of comment objects (id, comment_text, user, resolved, date). |
| clickup_comment_createA | Post a new top-level comment on a ClickUp task. Supports markdown and @mentions in the text body. Returns the created comment object including its new id, which you can pass to clickup_comment_reply, clickup_comment_update, etc. |
| clickup_field_listA | List the custom field definitions available on a ClickUp list — field id, name, type (text, number, dropdown, labels, date, url, email, phone, money, progress, formula, etc.), and for dropdown/labels fields the permitted option values. Use this before clickup_field_set to learn the correct field_id and value shape. Returns an array of custom field definitions. |
| clickup_field_setA | Set or overwrite a single custom field value on a ClickUp task. The value's JSON shape must match the field type (string for text/url/email, number for number/currency/progress, array of option ids for dropdown/labels, Unix ms for date, etc.). Use clickup_field_list first to see the field type and option ids. Use clickup_field_unset to clear a value. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_time_startA | Start a live time-tracking timer for the authenticated user. If a timer is already running it will be stopped first. Pair with clickup_time_stop to end the timer and record the entry. Use clickup_time_current to inspect the running timer. Returns the newly started time entry object. |
| clickup_time_stopC | Stop the currently running time tracking entry |
| clickup_time_listA | List historical time tracking entries for a workspace, optionally filtered by date range and/or task. Covers both manually-created entries and stopped timers. Returns a compact array of time entry objects (id, user, task, start, duration, billable, description). |
| clickup_checklist_createA | Create a new checklist (to-do group) on a ClickUp task. The checklist starts empty — add items via clickup_checklist_add_item. A task can have multiple checklists. Returns the created checklist object including its new id. |
| clickup_checklist_deleteA | Permanently delete an entire checklist from a ClickUp task, including all its items. Destructive and irreversible. To remove a single item instead, use clickup_checklist_delete_item. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_goal_listA | List all ClickUp goals in a workspace. Each goal represents an OKR-style objective and can have multiple key results (sub-targets). Returns a compact array of goal objects (id, name, percent_completed, due_date). Use clickup_goal_get for the full goal including its key_results. |
| clickup_goal_getA | Fetch a single ClickUp goal including its key results, owners, due date, and current percent-complete. Returns the goal object with its key_results array populated. |
| clickup_goal_createA | Create a new OKR-style goal in a workspace. The goal starts with zero key results — add them via clickup_goal_add_kr. The goal's percent-complete is auto-calculated from the average progress of its key results. Returns the created goal object including its new id. |
| clickup_goal_updateA | Modify a ClickUp goal's top-level fields (name, description, due date). To change progress, update the goal's key results instead via clickup_goal_update_kr — the goal's percent complete is derived automatically. Returns the updated goal object. |
| clickup_view_listA | List saved views (board, list, calendar, gantt, timeline, etc.) attached to a space, folder, list, or the whole workspace. Exactly one of space_id/folder_id/list_id must be provided — or omit all three to list workspace-level views. Returns a compact array of view objects (id, name, type). |
| clickup_view_tasksA | Fetch the tasks currently visible in a ClickUp view, honouring the view's configured filters, sort order, and grouping. Returns a paginated array of task objects. Use clickup_view_list to discover view IDs and clickup_view_get for the view's definition. |
| clickup_doc_listA | List all ClickUp docs in a workspace. Docs are long-form markdown documents separate from tasks and can contain nested pages. Returns a compact array of doc objects (id, name, date_created, date_updated). Use clickup_doc_get for a single doc or clickup_doc_pages to list a doc's pages. Uses v3 cursor pagination. |
| clickup_doc_getA | Fetch metadata for a single ClickUp doc — name, parent, dates, type. Does not return the page bodies; use clickup_doc_pages (with content=true) or clickup_doc_get_page for the markdown content. Returns the doc object. |
| clickup_doc_pagesA | List the pages inside a ClickUp doc, including any nested subpages. Returns an array of page objects (id, name, sub_title, parent_page_id, and optionally content). Pages are ordered by their tree position. |
| clickup_tag_listA | List all tags defined in a ClickUp space. Tags are space-scoped labels (with foreground/background hex colours) that can be applied to tasks within that space. Returns an array of tag objects (name, tag_fg, tag_bg, creator). |
| clickup_task_add_tagA | Attach an existing tag to a ClickUp task. The tag must already be defined in the task's parent space — use clickup_tag_list to check and clickup_tag_create to add a new tag first. Tags are identified by name, not ID. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_task_remove_tagA | Detach a tag from a ClickUp task. The tag definition itself is preserved in the space — only this task's association with it is removed. No-op if the tag was not on the task. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_webhook_listA | List all webhooks registered on a ClickUp workspace. Each webhook specifies a target endpoint, subscribed events, and optional scope. Returns an array of webhook objects (id, endpoint, events, status, secret, health). Use clickup_webhook_create/update/delete to manage them. |
| clickup_member_listA | List members (users with direct access) of a specific task or list. Exactly one of task_id or list_id must be provided. Returns an array of user objects (id, username, email, color). Use clickup_user_invite to add people to the workspace first; use clickup_guest_share_task/list to add guests. |
| clickup_template_listA | List the task templates available in a workspace. Task templates are saved task shapes (name, description, checklists, subtasks, custom fields, etc.) that can be applied via clickup_template_apply_task to create new tasks quickly. Returns an array of template objects (id, name). |
| clickup_space_getA | Fetch the full object for a single ClickUp space — name, privacy, statuses, features (time tracking, tags, due dates enabled, etc.), and members. Returns the space object. Use clickup_folder_list or clickup_list_list to enumerate the space's contents. |
| clickup_space_createA | Create a new top-level space in a ClickUp workspace. The new space uses the workspace's default feature set and statuses — customise later via the web UI or by creating folders/lists under it. Returns the created space object including its new id. |
| clickup_space_updateA | Modify a ClickUp space — rename it, toggle privacy, or archive/unarchive it. Archiving is the reversible alternative to deletion: archived spaces are hidden from default views but retain all their folders, lists, and tasks. Returns the updated space object. |
| clickup_space_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp space along with every folder, list, and task inside it. Destructive, irreversible, and widely cascading — confirm with the user before calling. To hide a space without destroying its contents, use clickup_space_update with archived=true instead (archival is reversible). Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_folder_getA | Fetch the full object for a single ClickUp folder — name, task_count (a string, per API), archived status, and its child lists. Returns the folder object. Use clickup_list_list with folder_id to get just the lists. |
| clickup_folder_createA | Create a new folder inside a ClickUp space. Folders group related lists and start empty — add lists via clickup_list_create with folder_id. Returns the created folder object including its new id. |
| clickup_folder_updateA | Rename a ClickUp folder. Only the folder's display name can be changed via this endpoint — to move the folder to a different space, delete and recreate. Returns the updated folder object. |
| clickup_folder_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp folder along with every list and task inside it. Destructive, irreversible, and cascading — confirm with the user before calling. If you only want to hide the folder, use clickup_space_update with archived=true on the parent space instead (archival is reversible). Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_list_getA | Fetch the full object for a single ClickUp list — name, content/description, statuses, task_count, assignees, due date, and parent folder/space. Returns the list object. Use clickup_task_list with list_id to enumerate tasks inside it. |
| clickup_list_createA | Create a new task list inside either a folder or a space (folderless). Exactly one of folder_id or space_id must be provided. Returns the created list object including its new id — use it as list_id for clickup_task_create and related calls. |
| clickup_list_updateA | Modify a ClickUp list's name, description, due date, or status. To move tasks between lists use clickup_task_move, and to add or remove this list from tasks with multi-list membership use clickup_list_add_task / clickup_list_remove_task. Returns the updated list object. |
| clickup_list_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp list along with every task inside it, plus their comments, checklists, and attachments. Destructive, irreversible, and cascading — confirm with the user before calling. To move tasks elsewhere first, use clickup_task_move on each, or use clickup_list_update to rename/archive instead. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_list_add_taskA | Add a task to a secondary list (multi-list membership) without moving it. The task remains in its original home list and becomes additionally visible in this one — useful for shared roadmaps. To change the home list instead, use clickup_task_move. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_list_remove_taskA | Remove a task from a secondary list it was added to via clickup_list_add_task. The task itself is NOT deleted — it remains in its home list (and any other secondary lists). Use clickup_task_delete to remove the task entirely. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_comment_updateA | Edit the text, assignee, or resolution state of a ClickUp comment on a task, list, or view. The entire comment body is replaced by the new text (no partial edits). Marking resolved=true strikes through the comment and closes the thread. Returns the updated comment object. |
| clickup_comment_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp comment from a task, list, or view. Destructive and irreversible — the comment and any threaded replies are removed. Use clickup_comment_update with resolved=true instead if you only want to mark the comment as handled. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_task_add_depA | Create a dependency relationship between two tasks — either 'task_id depends on depends_on' (blocks until that is done) or 'dependency_of depends on task_id' (task_id blocks that). Provide exactly one of depends_on or dependency_of. Use clickup_task_link for a simple non-blocking reference. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_task_remove_depA | Remove an existing dependency relationship between two tasks. Provide exactly one of depends_on or dependency_of, matching the direction you set with clickup_task_add_dep. The tasks themselves are not affected. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_task_linkA | Create a bidirectional reference link between two tasks — a non-blocking 'see also' relationship, unlike dependencies. Both tasks show the other in their 'Linked tasks' panel. Use clickup_task_unlink to remove. For blocking relationships, use clickup_task_add_dep instead. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_task_unlinkA | Remove a bidirectional reference link previously created with clickup_task_link. The tasks themselves are not affected, only the link between them. No-op if no link exists. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_goal_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp goal along with all its key results. Destructive, irreversible, and cascading — confirm with the user before calling. Historical progress data on the goal is lost. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_goal_add_krA | Add a new key result (KR / sub-target) to a ClickUp goal. KRs drive the goal's overall percent-complete — each KR's progress is averaged. For 'automatic' KRs, link tasks or lists and progress is derived from their status; for number/currency/percentage KRs, report progress via clickup_goal_update_kr. Returns the created key result object. |
| clickup_goal_update_krA | Update a key result (sub-target) on a ClickUp goal — typically to record current progress, rename, or adjust the unit label. The goal's completion percentage is auto-recalculated from all its key results. Returns the updated key result object. |
| clickup_goal_delete_krA | Permanently delete a single key result from a ClickUp goal. Destructive and irreversible — the historical progress for this key result is lost, and the goal's overall completion percentage is recalculated from the remaining key results. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_time_getA | Fetch the full object for a single time tracking entry — user, task, start timestamp, duration, description, billable flag, and tags. Returns the time entry object. |
| clickup_time_createA | Manually record a historical time tracking entry with a fixed start and duration. Use this for backfilling time (e.g. work done offline). For live timing use clickup_time_start/stop instead. Returns the created time entry object including its new id. |
| clickup_time_updateA | Modify a recorded time tracking entry. Only the supplied fields are changed; omitted fields keep their current value. Use clickup_time_add_tags / remove_tags for tag changes. Returns the updated time entry object. |
| clickup_time_deleteA | Permanently delete a recorded time tracking entry. Destructive and irreversible — the logged time is removed from reports. To stop a currently running timer, use clickup_time_stop instead (which preserves the record). Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_view_getA | Fetch the full definition of a single ClickUp view — name, type (list/board/calendar/gantt/etc.), parent scope, filters, grouping, sort order, and column layout. Does not return the tasks inside the view; use clickup_view_tasks for that. Returns the view object. |
| clickup_view_createA | Create a new saved view (board, list, calendar, timeline, etc.) attached to a space, folder, list, or the workspace. Creates an empty view with default filters — customise filters/grouping/sort later via the web UI. Returns the created view object including its new id. |
| clickup_view_updateA | Rename a view or change its display type (e.g. from list to board). To change filters, grouping, or sort order, use the ClickUp web UI — those are not exposed via the API. Returns the updated view object. |
| clickup_view_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp view (board, list, calendar, gantt, etc.). Destructive and irreversible for custom views — default views cannot be deleted and will return a 400 error. The underlying tasks are not affected, only the view definition. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_doc_createA | Create a new ClickUp doc in a workspace. The doc starts with no pages — add pages via clickup_doc_add_page. Optionally attach the doc under a parent space/folder/list/task instead of the workspace root. Returns the created doc object including its new id. |
| clickup_doc_add_pageA | Create a new page inside an existing ClickUp doc. Pages support a markdown body plus optional subtitle. Supply parent_page_id to nest the page under another page (creates a page tree). Returns the created page object including its new id, which you can pass to clickup_doc_edit_page or clickup_doc_get_page. |
| clickup_doc_edit_pageA | Rename or rewrite an existing page inside a ClickUp doc. The supplied content replaces the current page body entirely (not an append). For a fresh page use clickup_doc_add_page instead. Returns the updated page object. |
| clickup_chat_channel_createA | Create a new ClickUp Chat channel in a workspace. For one-on-one messages use clickup_chat_dm instead. Add members later via the channel-members endpoint. Returns the created channel object including its new id. |
| clickup_chat_channel_getA | Fetch metadata for a single ClickUp chat channel — name, description, visibility, member count, latest activity. Does not return the messages themselves; use clickup_chat_message_list for that. Returns the channel object. |
| clickup_chat_channel_updateA | Rename a ClickUp chat channel or change its description. To change membership or visibility use the dedicated channel-members and channel-followers tools. Returns the updated channel object. |
| clickup_chat_channel_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp Chat channel along with every message and reply it contains. Destructive, irreversible, and cascading — confirm with the user before calling. The channel vanishes from the workspace for all members. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_chat_message_listA | List messages in a ClickUp Chat channel, newest first. Only top-level messages are returned; use clickup_chat_reply_list for threaded replies. Uses v3 cursor pagination — pass the 'cursor' from the previous response to page further back. Returns an array of message objects plus a next_cursor. |
| clickup_chat_message_sendA | Post a new top-level message to a ClickUp Chat channel. For replies inside a thread use clickup_chat_reply_send; for DMs use clickup_chat_dm. Returns the created message object including its new id, which you can pass to clickup_chat_reaction_add, clickup_chat_reply_send, etc. |
| clickup_chat_message_deleteA | Permanently delete a message from a ClickUp chat channel or DM thread. Destructive and irreversible — the message and its threaded replies are removed for all viewers. Only the message author or a workspace admin can delete; other users will get a 403. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_chat_dmA | Send a direct message from the authenticated user to another workspace member. If no DM channel exists between the two users, one is created automatically. Returns the created message object. Use clickup_chat_message_send for channel messages. |
| clickup_webhook_createA | Register an HTTPS endpoint that ClickUp will POST events to as things happen in the workspace (tasks created, comments added, status changes, etc.). Optionally scope the webhook to a single space, folder, list, or task. The response includes a 'secret' you should use to verify the X-Signature header on incoming payloads. Returns the created webhook object. |
| clickup_webhook_updateA | Change the delivery endpoint, subscribed events, or active status of a ClickUp webhook. To temporarily pause deliveries without losing the webhook config, set status='suspended' (then resume later with status='active'). Returns the updated webhook object. |
| clickup_webhook_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp webhook, stopping all future event deliveries to its endpoint. Destructive and irreversible — the webhook record is removed immediately. If you only want to pause deliveries, use clickup_webhook_update with status='suspended' instead. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_checklist_add_itemA | Append a new item to an existing ClickUp checklist on a task. The item starts unresolved. To edit or resolve items use clickup_checklist_update_item; to remove them use clickup_checklist_delete_item. Returns the updated checklist object (with all items). |
| clickup_checklist_update_itemA | Modify a single checklist item on a ClickUp task — rename it, toggle its resolved state, or change its assignee. Use clickup_checklist_add_item to create new items and clickup_checklist_delete_item to remove them. Returns the updated checklist object (all items). |
| clickup_checklist_delete_itemA | Permanently delete a single item from a ClickUp checklist. Destructive and irreversible. To resolve the item (mark done) without deleting, use clickup_checklist_update_item with resolved=true. Returns the updated checklist object (remaining items). |
| clickup_user_getA | Fetch the profile of a specific member of a ClickUp workspace — username, email, color, profile picture, role. Returns the user object. Use clickup_member_list for task/list members; use clickup_whoami for the authenticated user. |
| clickup_workspace_seatsA | Get the seat-usage breakdown for a ClickUp workspace — how many paid member seats, guest seats, and internal seats are used vs. available. Useful before inviting new users to confirm capacity. Returns an object with member/guest/internal seat counts. |
| clickup_workspace_planA | Get the current subscription plan of a ClickUp workspace (Free, Unlimited, Business, Business Plus, Enterprise), along with plan_name and plan_id. Some features (guests, audit logs, ACLs) require Enterprise. Returns the plan object. |
| clickup_tag_createA | Define a new tag in a ClickUp space. Tags are space-scoped and must be created before they can be applied to tasks via clickup_task_add_tag. Note: create uses tag_fg/tag_bg, but clickup_tag_update uses fg_color/bg_color (API inconsistency). Returns an empty object on success; use clickup_tag_list to see the created tag. |
| clickup_tag_updateA | Rename a tag or change its colours within a ClickUp space. All tasks using the tag are automatically updated with the new name/colours. Note: update uses fg_color/bg_color whereas tag_create uses tag_fg/tag_bg (API inconsistency). Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_tag_deleteA | Delete a tag from a ClickUp space. The tag is removed from every task that uses it (the tasks themselves are not affected). Destructive and irreversible. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_field_unsetA | Clear a custom field value on a ClickUp task — sets it back to empty/unset. The field definition on the list remains intact. Use clickup_field_set to assign a new value instead. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_attachment_listA | List files attached to a ClickUp task — each attachment's id, title, size, mime type, url, and uploader. Uses the v3 attachments endpoint (cursor pagination). Use clickup_attachment_upload to add a new file. Returns an array of attachment objects. |
| clickup_shared_listA | List every task, list, and folder that has been explicitly shared with the authenticated user from outside their default hierarchy (e.g. items shared by other workspace members). Useful for discovering items you have access to but don't own. Returns an object with shared tasks, lists, and folders arrays. |
| clickup_group_listA | List user groups (also called 'teams' in the ClickUp UI) in a workspace. A group is a named collection of users that can be @-mentioned or assigned as a unit. Returns an array of group objects (id, name, members). |
| clickup_group_createA | Create a new user group ('team' in ClickUp's UI) in a workspace. Groups let you @-mention or assign multiple users as a unit. At least one initial member is required. Returns the created group object including its new id. |
| clickup_group_updateA | Rename a user group and/or add/remove its members. All changes are applied in one call. Use clickup_group_list first to see current membership. Returns the updated group object. |
| clickup_group_deleteA | Permanently delete a ClickUp user group. Destructive and irreversible — assignments and mentions that referenced the group remain as historical records, but the group can no longer be used going forward. The individual users are not affected. Returns an empty object on success. |
| clickup_role_listA | List the custom roles defined in a ClickUp workspace (Member, Guest, Admin, Owner, plus any custom roles on Enterprise plans). Roles define baseline permissions assigned to users. Returns an array of role objects (id, name, members). |
| clickup_guest_getA | Fetch the profile of a specific guest user in a ClickUp workspace — email, permissions (can_edit_tags, can_see_time_spent, can_create_views), and shared items. Guests are external collaborators with limited access. Requires Enterprise plan. Returns the guest object. |
| clickup_task_time_in_statusA | Report how long a task has spent in each status since creation (e.g. 3 days in 'open', 1 day in 'in review'). Useful for cycle-time analysis. Returns an object mapping status names to total-time and since-timestamp values (all times in milliseconds). |
