# ClickUp MCP server

> Manage ClickUp tasks, docs, comments, chat and time tracking from your AI assistant.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/clickup
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Productivity & Projects](https://mcp.tc/c/productivity)
- Vendor: ClickUp
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## About

Connects an AI assistant to ClickUp Workspace data such as tasks, lists, folders, docs, comments and chat. You can manage tasks with assignees, priorities and due dates, search tasks, docs and comments, log time entries, manage timers, and draft status updates or release notes from workspace content.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp. Users sign in with OAuth; personal API keys and access tokens are not used. The server is in public beta and has per-workspace rate limits that depend on plan and the Everything AI add-on.

## What it can do

- Create and update tasks with assignees, priorities and due dates
- Search tasks, docs and comments
- Log time entries and manage timers
- Summarize comment and chat threads and extract action items
- Draft status updates and release notes from tasks and docs
- Work with lists, folders and spaces

## Example prompts

- "Create a task in my Sprint list assigned to me, due Friday"
- "Search ClickUp docs for our onboarding checklist"
- "Start a timer on the homepage redesign task"
- "Summarize the comments on my open launch tasks"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http clickup https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **clickup** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the ClickUp sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **ClickUp** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when ClickUp asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=ClickUp&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.clickup.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when ClickUp asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to ClickUp to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=clickup&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5jbGlja3VwLmNvbS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "url": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=clickup&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.clickup.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"clickup","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "clickup": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add clickup --url https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
codex mcp login clickup
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.clickup]
url = "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http clickup https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth clickup` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp`.
