Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "ClickUp" tools will be available.

Description

ClickUp's first-party remote MCP server puts a whole workspace — tasks, Lists, Spaces, Docs, Chat and time entries — behind a single hosted endpoint, so an assistant can read and change real project state instead of being told about it.

Connecting

Point any MCP-compatible client at https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp. It speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP and authenticates with OAuth 2.1 with PKCE — personal API keys and auth access tokens are deliberately not accepted, so a custom client must implement the OAuth flow. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code all connect directly.

What the tools cover

Roughly 40 tools across five areas:

  • Tasks — create, enrich and route work with assignees, priorities and due dates across Lists and Spaces.
  • Search — query tasks, Docs and comments for context-rich answers.
  • Docs — read and build documents from workspace content.
  • Chat and comments — participate in the collaboration surface rather than only the task tracker.
  • Time tracking — start and stop timers, log historical entries, fetch entries.

The practical payoff is reporting: release notes, status updates and portfolio rollups assembled from tasks, comments and Docs in one pass.

Availability and limits

Public beta, available on all ClickUp plans. Without the Everything AI add-on, calls are capped on a rolling 24-hour window: 50 per day on Free Forever, 300 per day on Unlimited and above.
