A high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing tasks, comments, tags, lists, folders, files, docs, time, chat, and workflows using natural language.
Status Update: v0.12.10: New improvements including full @mention support for chat messages and comments, and full markdown support in chat messages, automatic rich text conversion for comments. Fixed Anthropic API Schema Compatibility (Issue #5).
βοΈ Proven Performance: 460+ Stars (from previous public repo) & thousands of weekly NPM downloads. The industry-standard ClickUp integration for AI.
- π Hybrid Authentication : MCP spec compliant OAuth 2.1 with advanced security hardening, backwards compatible with ClickUp API Key and Team ID for env variables/headers. (Remote version only)
- π Task Management: Create, update, move, delete, duplicate, and link tasks. Supports bulk operations, natural language dates, full markdown, @mentions, and file attachments.
- π Intelligent Search: Find tasks workspace-wide with fuzzy matching across names, statuses, tags, custom fields, and descriptions. Automatic name resolutionβjust say the task name, no IDs needed.
- β±οΈ Time Tracking: Start/stop timers in natural language, view entries, and manage billable time.
- π Manage Documents: Create, read, and append to ClickUp Documents in the correct location. Supports full markdown.
- π¬ Chat & Collaboration: Send and retrieve messages in chat channels and task comments with automatic rich-text conversion and @mention support.
- π³ Workspace Control: Create, navigate, and manage spaces, folders, lists, and tags. With OAuth login, select multiple Workspaces and switch between them mid-conversation.
- π§ Smart Defaults: Fuzzy matching for statuses (
todoβto-do), members, spaces, folders, and lists. Session-isolated caching for fast, secure multi-tenant operation.

β‘οΈ Instant Delivery: Your license key is delivered immediately via Polar.sh. Total setup time is under 2 minutes.
- Node.js v18.0.0+
- ClickUp Credentials: API Key & Team ID
- License Key: Purchase here
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json or similar MCP settings file to run locally via npx:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ClickUp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest"
],
"env": {
"CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-clickup-api-key",
"CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id",
"CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "your-license-key-here"
}
}
}
}-or- For zero-setup usage without local Node.js requirements, use the hosted version:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ClickUp": {
"serverUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-License-Key": "your-mcp-licese-key-here",
}
}
}
}Restart your MCP Host (e.g., Cursor IDE). The server will validate your license and start automatically.
- ClickUp API Key:
- Navigate to ClickUp Settings β Apps.
- Generate a token under "API Token".
- ClickUp Team ID:
- Open ClickUp in your browser.
- Look at the URL:
https://app.clickup.com/[TEAM_ID]/v/... - The first number is your Team ID.
- Note: ClickUp API calls this
team_id, but it actually represents your Workspace ID.
π‘ Pro Tip! Reduce context noise by limiting available tools in your env arguments:
"ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_workspace_hierarchy,create_task,get_task,update_task"-or- the hosted version headers:
"X-Enabled-Tools": "find_member_by_name, create_chat_channel, create_chat_message, get_chat_messages, submit_feedback"Enable creation and management of ClickUp Docs:
"DOCUMENT_SUPPORT": "true"This server supports STDIO, HTTP Streamable, and SSE (Server-Sent Events) for legacy integrations.
n8n Setup - Remote Server (Recommended):
- In n8n, add an "MCP Client" node.
- Set Connection Type to
HTTP Streamable. - Select Authentication Type
Multiple Headers Authand rename it toClickUp. - Add custom headers:
X-ClickUp-Key: <your ClickUp API key>X-ClickUp-Team-Id: <your Team ID>X-License-Key: <your license key>
- Set URL to
https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp
n8n Docker Setup (Alternative):
Run the server with Docker:
docker run -d -p 3231:3231 ghcr.io/taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server:latestIn n8n, use http://host.docker.internal:3231/mcp as the URL.
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.
