What it does
This MCP server connects Claude and other AI agents to ClickUp, exposing task, document, chat, and workspace management through a unified interface. It handles task and checklist creation, sprint management, comments, tags, spaces, lists, folders, files, docs, and time tracking. The server supports both OAuth 2.1 and API key authentication with multi-workspace support for coordinating across team accounts.
Who it's for
Engineers building AI-driven project workflows that need ClickUp integration. Teams automating task creation, document generation, or status updates through Claude. Organizations managing multiple ClickUp workspaces where an AI agent must coordinate across accounts without manual intervention.
Common use cases
- Query and create tasks in ClickUp from Claude Code based on natural language requests
- Auto-generate subtasks or checklists from AI-generated project plans
- Create or update ClickUp documents programmatically from Claude workflows
- Post comments and status updates to tasks without manual intervention
Setup pitfalls
- API authentication requires a ClickUp API token generated in workspace settings; OAuth requires client credentials and proper redirect URI configuration
- Multi-workspace support requires explicit team/workspace ID configuration to avoid cross-account scope errors
- Session isolation is critical when concurrent requests operate across multiple workspaces — auth tokens must be managed per account to prevent credential bleed
