ClickUp MCP Server by Taazkareem (Paid, Third-Party)

CommunityRemoteLocal
Getnpm@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-servertaazkareem/clickup-mcp-server

Not the official ClickUp MCP server. This one is built by the community. ClickUp makes its own: ClickUp MCP Server →

Lets your assistant manage ClickUp tasks, docs, chat, goals and time tracking through a paid server by a third-party developer.

This is a paid ClickUp server made by Talib Kareem, not by ClickUp. It lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other assistants read and change tasks, lists, docs, chat, goals, sprints and time entries in your workspace. The README lists 150 tools, and this page shows a selection.

You need a license key: the README lists $9 a month or $59 a year, plus a lifetime option. The project was open source and is now proprietary. You can use the hosted server, where you sign in with ClickUp, or run the npm package locally with your own ClickUp API token. ClickUp has its own server, covered on the ClickUp MCP page.

Good for

  • Teams that want an assistant to run ClickUp tasks, sprints and docs
  • Project managers who log time and update tasks by chat
  • Admins who want guest, webhook and permission tools from one server

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the @taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add --transport http clickup https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp --header "X-License-Key: your-license-key"
    
    Ask me for CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY, CLICKUP_API_KEY, CLICKUP_TEAM_ID and only put the values in that config, nowhere else.
    
    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 Paid license key, ClickUp account.

Read-only mode: Set the persona to auditor: add the X-Persona: auditor header for the hosted server, or CLICKUP_MCP_PERSONA=auditor for the local install.

Replace the license-key and ClickUp placeholders with your own values. A license is paid: see the price in the FAQ. The hosted server can also sign you in to ClickUp with OAuth; the local package needs your ClickUp API token and workspace ID.

high risk · 5 things to watch

High risk

The assistant can create, edit and permanently delete tasks, spaces, lists, docs and chat channels, and it can post messages and change sharing settings. Start with the auditor persona, and switch to a wider one only for work that needs it.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • It can delete tasks, spaces, lists and channels

    The README lists delete tools for tasks, bulk tasks, comments, folders, lists, spaces, time entries, webhooks and chat channels. Use the auditor persona, or ask for a safe preview before any removal. github.com

  • It can change who sees your work

    set_space_permissions, set_list_permissions and set_folder_permissions change privacy and sharing, and guest tools add or remove outside people. The safe_power_user persona blocks deletes but still allows these. github.com

  • It can post chat messages as you

    create_chat_message and the comment tools write in places your colleagues read. Check the text before it goes out. github.com

  • Your ClickUp data passes through a third-party server

    The hosted option runs at clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com, run by an individual developer, not ClickUp. For the local option your token stays on your machine. github.com

  • The code is closed and the license is paid

    The license is proprietary and the published package is obfuscated, so the tool list cannot be checked against source. Pay only after you try the free ClickUp server. github.com

Questions

Is this the official ClickUp MCP server?

No. It is made by Talib Kareem (Taazkareem), not ClickUp. ClickUp has its own server, covered on the ClickUp MCP page.

How much does it cost?

The README lists $9 a month or $59 a year, plus a lifetime option, each with 3 device activations. You get a license key from Polar.sh after paying.

Is it open source?

No. It used to be open source and is now proprietary. The README says old local copies still run but get no updates or support without a license.

What is the ClickUp MCP server URL for this one?

https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp. Sign in with ClickUp through OAuth, or send your license key in the X-License-Key header.

Do I need a ClickUp API key?

Only for the local install, which needs your ClickUp API token and workspace ID. The hosted server uses OAuth sign-in instead. Both need the paid license key.

Can I make it read-only?

Yes. The README describes an auditor setting as read-only access to tasks, goals, docs and chat. Use the CLICKUP_MCP_PERSONA setting locally or the X-Persona header on the hosted server.

Can it delete my tasks?

Yes. It has delete tools for tasks, spaces, lists, folders, comments, chat channels and more. The safe_power_user setting removes the deletes but still allows edits and permission changes.

How many tools does it have?

The README lists 150. This page shows a selection, and the published package code is obfuscated, so we could not count the tools in the code.

How do I add it to Claude Code?

Use the Claude Code tab in the install box above, and replace the placeholder with your license key.
