{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",

        "--header", "X-License-Key: your-license-key"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http ClickUp https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp \
  --header "X-License-Key: your-license-key"

Option A: Cloud / Remote (Recommended)

In n8n, add an "MCP Client" node.
Set Connection Type to HTTP Streamable.
Auth Type: Multiple Headers Auth.
Header: X-License-Key Value: your-license-key
URL: https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp

Option B: Self-Hosted Docker Run the container:

docker run -d -p 3231:3231 ghcr.io/taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server:latest

In n8n, use URL: http://host.docker.internal:3231/mcp

Configuration Path: ~/.gemini/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-License-Key": "your-license-key" }
    }
  }
}

Configuration Path: ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-License-Key": "your-license-key" }
    }
  }
}

Codex clients (CLI, Desktop App, and VS Code extension) share a single source of truth for configuration.

Configuration Paths:

Global: ~/.codex/config.toml
Per-Project: <project-root>/.codex/config.toml

Option A: Cloud / Remote (Easiest)

[mcp_servers.ClickUp]
url = "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp"
http_headers = { "X-License-Key" = "your-license-key" }

Option B: Local (stdio)

[mcp_servers.ClickUp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest"]
env = {
  CLICKUP_API_KEY = "your-api-key",
  CLICKUP_TEAM_ID = "your-team-id",
  CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY = "your-license-key"
}

Quick Tips:

Codex CLI: Run codex mcp list to verify. Use codex mcp add ... as a CLI alternative to editing the file.
VS Code Extension: Click ⚙ → MCP settings → Open config.toml.
Desktop App: Go to Settings → Integrations & MCP.

Note: Requires a Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace with Developer Mode enabled.

Enable Developer Mode: Ask your workspace admin to enable this under Workspace Settings → Permissions & Roles → Connected Data.
Connect MCP: Go to Settings → Connectors and toggle Developer Mode on.
Add Custom Connector:
- Click Add connector (or "Create custom connector").
- Choose MCP as the source type.
Configure:
- Server URL: https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp
- Authentication: Add HTTP header X-License-Key: your-license-key.
Use: Start a Developer Mode chat and select your ClickUp connector via Add sources.

Configuration Path: <project-root>/.augment/settings.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "url": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-License-Key": "your-license-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this command in your terminal:

auggie mcp add ClickUp --url https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp \
  --header "X-License-Key: your-license-key"

1. Enable the mcporter skill in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{"skills": {"allowBundled": ["mcporter"]}}

2. Configure — add to ~/.mcporter/mcporter.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "baseUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "auth": "oauth",
      "headers": {
        "X-License-Key": "your-license-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Authenticate — run once to authorize via browser (tokens are cached):

mcporter auth ClickUp

4. Use:

mcporter call ClickUp.get_workspace_hierarchy team_id=0123456789

Tip: Since mcporter is a one-shot CLI client, if using multiple workspaces, always pass team_id to target the correct workspace.

For most MCP-compliant hosts (e.g. Smithery, MCP Inspector, custom GUIs):

Server URL: https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp
Auth Header: X-License-Key: your-license-key (Required for HTTP/SSE connections)

Advanced: OpenAI Agents SDK For developers building custom agents.

Python SDK:

from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerStreamableHttp

async with MCPServerStreamableHttp(
    name="clickup",
    params={
        "url": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
        "headers": {"X-License-Key": "your-license-key"},
    },
) as server:
    agent = Agent(
        name="Assistant",
        instructions="Use the ClickUp MCP tools when helpful.",
        mcp_servers=[server],
    )
    result = await Runner.run(agent, "List my workspaces.")

3. Restart

Restart your MCP Host (e.g., Cursor IDE). The server will validate your License Key and start automatically.

"X-Enabled-Tools": "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3"

Preset Configurations

Here are copy-pasteable recommended configurations for common agent personas. You can use these in your mcp.json (env) or via HTTP headers. Customization is easy - just add or remove tools you don't need.

Best for agents that need to view data without making any changes.

HTTP Header: X-Enabled-Tools: get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_list,get_folder,get_task_comments,get_task_time_entries,get_workspace_time_entries,get_current_time_entry,get_task_links,get_space_tags,get_workspace_members,find_member_by_name,get_chat_channels,get_chat_messages,get_document,list_documents,list_document_pages,get_document_pages,submit_feedback

JSON / Env:

"env": {
  "ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_list,get_folder,get_task_comments,get_task_time_entries,get_workspace_time_entries,get_current_time_entry,get_task_links,get_space_tags,get_workspace_members,find_member_by_name,get_chat_channels,get_chat_messages,get_document,list_documents,list_document_pages,get_document_pages,submit_feedback"
}

Focused on day-to-day task management. Can create/update tasks and track time, but cannot delete tasks or modify structure (Lists/Folders).

HTTP Header: X-Enabled-Tools: get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,create_task,update_task,move_task,duplicate_task,create_task_comment,get_task_comments,attach_task_file,start_time_tracking,stop_time_tracking,add_tag_to_task,remove_tag_from_task,add_task_link,delete_task_link,get_task_links,add_task_to_list,remove_task_from_list,find_member_by_name,submit_feedback

JSON / Env:

"env": {
  "ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,create_task,update_task,move_task,duplicate_task,create_task_comment,get_task_comments,attach_task_file,start_time_tracking,stop_time_tracking,add_tag_to_task,remove_tag_from_task,add_task_link,delete_task_link,get_task_links,add_task_to_list,remove_task_from_list,find_member_by_name,submit_feedback"
}

For agents dedicated to logging time and generating timesheets.

HTTP Header: X-Enabled-Tools: get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_task_time_entries,get_workspace_time_entries,get_current_time_entry,start_time_tracking,stop_time_tracking,add_time_entry,delete_time_entry,submit_feedback

JSON / Env:

"env": {
  "ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_task_time_entries,get_workspace_time_entries,get_current_time_entry,start_time_tracking,stop_time_tracking,add_time_entry,delete_time_entry,submit_feedback"
}

For agents managing documentation and communication.

HTTP Header: X-Enabled-Tools: get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,create_document,get_document,list_documents,list_document_pages,get_document_pages,create_document_page,update_document_page,create_chat_channel,get_chat_channels,create_chat_message,get_chat_messages,submit_feedback

JSON / Env:

"env": {
  "ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,create_document,get_document,list_documents,list_document_pages,get_document_pages,create_document_page,update_document_page,create_chat_channel,get_chat_channels,create_chat_message,get_chat_messages,submit_feedback"
}

Enabled everything except destructive tools. This configuration covers all 58 tools by default, only blocking the 7 specific deletion tools listed below. Useful for capable agents that need full access (including Folder/List management) but shouldn't destroy data.

HTTP Header: X-Disabled-Tools: delete_task,delete_bulk_tasks,delete_time_entry,delete_task_link,delete_list,delete_folder,delete_space_tag

JSON / Env:

"env": {
  "DISABLED_TOOLS": "delete_task,delete_bulk_tasks,delete_time_entry,delete_task_link,delete_list,delete_folder,delete_space_tag"
}

❓ FAQ

Why isn't this free anymore? Building reliable MCP integrations requires significant maintenance. Moving to a paid model allows us to support this as a product rather than a hobby, ensuring compatibility with API changes.

I have an old version. Will it stop working? Existing local clones will continue to work, but you will not receive updates, bug fixes, or support without a license.

How do I get support? Premium users get priority support. Please open an issue in this repository.
