ClickUp MCP Server

OfficialRemote

Lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor find, create and update your ClickUp tasks, Docs, comments and time entries. ClickUp hosts it; you sign in with ClickUp.

This is ClickUp's official way to connect your AI assistant to ClickUp, and ClickUp runs it for you. You can ask it to search your workspace, create and update tasks, write Docs, post comments and chat messages, and log time. It acts with your own ClickUp permissions, can delete and merge tasks, and has no read-only mode. Every plan can use it, but each plan has a daily call limit.

Good for

  • Teams who plan work in ClickUp and want their AI assistant to create and update tasks
  • Managers who want status updates, release notes and reports pulled from tasks and Docs
  • People who track time in ClickUp and want to start timers or log hours by asking
  • Developers who want ClickUp tasks inside Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Install ClickUp MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the ClickUp MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add --transport http clickup https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires ClickUp account (any plan).

Read-only mode: There is no read-only mode. Turn on your app's setting that asks before each change, since it can delete and merge tasks.

Then start Claude Code and run /mcp to sign in to ClickUp. Calls count toward your plan's daily limit, from 100 a day on Free Forever.

Tools

  • Searches your whole workspace for tasks, Docs, chats and more

    Searches across your ClickUp workspace, including tasks, Docs, dashboards, attachments, whiteboards, chats and forms, by keyword and filters.

    Try: “Find all tasks related to the Q4 Marketing Launch.”

    Network · clickup_search

  • Finds tasks by list, status, assignee, tag or due date

    Lists tasks that match the filters you give, such as a List, status, assignee, tag, date range or custom field, or the tasks in a saved view.

    Try: “Show me the tasks with the UX-quality tag.”

    Network · clickup_filter_tasks

  • Opens one task with its full details

    Reads one task's details, such as its description, status, assignees and dates, and can also list the statuses that task can move to.

    Try: “What are the details for task Design-123?”

    Network · clickup_get_task

  • Creates a task with assignees, priority and due date

    Creates a new task in a List. You can set the status, priority, dates, assignees, watchers, tags and custom fields, and the people you add are notified.

    Try: “Create a task to draft the blog post in the Content Pipeline List, assign it to me and make it due Friday.”

    Write · clickup_create_task

  • Changes a task's name, status, assignees, dates or fields

    Updates the fields you name on a task. Setting assignees replaces the whole list, and the people affected are notified.

    Try: “Change the status of the Draft blog post task to In Progress.”

    Write · clickup_update_task

  • Moves a task to a different List

    Moves a task to another List. The task's current status has to exist in the new List.

    Try: “Move the login bug task to the Sprint 4 List.”

    Write · clickup_move_task

    Write · clickup_add_task_to_list

  • Takes a task out of an extra List it was added to

    Delete · clickup_delete_task

  • Merges duplicate tasks into one, with no undo

    Combines one or more tasks into a target task, moving over their assignees, comments, attachments, subtasks and tracked time. The merged-in tasks are used up and this cannot be undone.

    Try: “Merge the duplicate Login bug tasks into the original one.”

    Delete · clickup_merge_tasks

  • Marks one task as waiting on or blocking another

    Adds a dependency between two tasks, shown on both, so you can see which one is waiting on the other.

What people say

People like running ClickUp through their assistant and dislike the call limits and missing fields.

What people like

  • People who live in ClickUp like doing their work through an assistant instead of the ClickUp interface
  • Setup is a URL and a ClickUp sign-in, with no API key

Common complaints

  • Daily call limits frustrate heavy users, though ClickUp says it has raised them
  • Some fields are missing, such as Sprint Points, synced blocks and custom field values in ChatGPT
  • You cannot edit or delete time entries, so mistakes need fixing by hand
  • A tagging bug creates time entries even when the call reports an error

In their words

Questions

What is the ClickUp MCP server URL?

https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp.

Is ClickUp MCP free?

Yes. It works on every ClickUp plan, including Free Forever, and does not use AI credits. Each plan has a daily call limit.

What are the ClickUp MCP rate limits?

Without the Everything AI add-on, calls per rolling 24 hours are 100 on Free Forever, 300 on Core or Unlimited, 1,000 on Business, 2,500 on Business Plus, 5,000 on Enterprise and 25,000 on Enterprise Plus. With the add-on, the normal per-minute API limits apply instead. ClickUp's developer docs say each AI app gets its own allowance, while its help center says they share one.

What happens when I hit the limit?

Requests fail until 24 hours after your first call in that window. The limit cannot be reset, and you cannot currently see how many calls you have used.

Can I use a ClickUp API key instead of signing in?

No. ClickUp only supports signing in with your ClickUp account. Community servers accept API keys if you need that.

Can it delete my tasks?

Yes. It can move tasks and their subtasks to Trash, delete comments, and merge tasks, which cannot be undone. Turn on your AI app's setting that asks before changes.

Is it safe to connect ClickUp to my AI assistant?

It can only do what your own ClickUp account can do, but that includes deleting tasks and posting as you. Approve changes one by one and read messages before they go out.

Can it search apps connected to ClickUp?

No. Connected Search only works inside ClickUp itself.

How do I add ClickUp to Claude?

On a paid Claude plan, add the URL as a connector in Settings. On Claude Free, use the config-file option in the install box above.
