ClickUp MCP Server - Powering AI Agents with full ClickUp task, document, and chat management capabilities.
Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. Clickup MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. ClickUp MCP Server - Powering AI Agents with full ClickUp task, document, and chat management capabilities.
A high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing tasks, checklists, sprints, comments, tags, spaces, lists, folders, files, docs, chat, and time using natural language.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
Global — ** ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.jsonLocal — ** /.vscode/mcp.jsonAuthentication — ** Add HTTP header X-License-Key: your-license-keyLinks — Quick Start & InstallationConfiguration is passed through the environment: CLICKUP_API_KEY, CLICKUP_TEAM_ID, CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the planning and project tracking options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Clickup's toolset — Global, Local, Authentication and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by taazkareem; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
