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.

Setup

1. Get your credentials:
   • ClickUp API key from ClickUp Settings
   • Team ID from your ClickUp workspace URL
2. NPX installation (downloads to local path and installs dependencies)
3. Use natural language to manage your workspace!

NPX Installation

Add this entry to your client's MCP settings JSON file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@jcleigh/clickup-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or use this npx command:

npx -y @jcleigh/clickup-mcp-server@latest --env CLICKUP_API_KEY=your-api-key --env CLICKUP_TEAM_ID=your-team-id

Prompts

Not yet implemented and not supported by all client apps. Request a feature for a Prompt implementation that would be most beneficial for your workflow (without it being too specific). Examples:

| Prompt | Purpose | Features | |--------|---------|----------| | summarize_tasks | Task overview | Status summary, priorities, relationships | | analyze_priorities | Priority optimization | Distribution analysis, sequencing | | generate_description | Task description creation | Objectives, criteria, dependencies |

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.
