ClickUp MCP Pro

The most complete ClickUp MCP server — 161 typed tools + clickup_raw covering the entire ClickUp v2/v3 API. Built to match or beat the paid alternatives, free and open source.

ClickUp MCP Pro exposes nearly every ClickUp operation as a typed Model Context Protocol tool — so Claude Code (and any MCP client) can drive your entire workspace: tasks, lists, folders, spaces, docs, chat, goals, sprints, time tracking, custom fields, webhooks, guests and more. When a niche endpoint isn't wrapped, clickup_raw reaches the rest of the API directly, giving you 100% coverage.

Highlights

• 161 typed tools across 23 ClickUp domains (v2 + v3 APIs).
• clickup_raw escape hatch — call any endpoint not yet wrapped. Nothing is out of reach.
• Readonly mode (CLICKUP_READONLY=true) blocks every write while keeping reads working — safe exploration.
• Natural-language dates — "tomorrow", "in 3 days", "+2h", ISO, or epoch ms all work for any date field.
• Name → ID resolution — find_member, find_space_by_name, find_list_by_name.
• Resilient client — automatic retries with backoff on 429/5xx, Retry-After honored, actionable error messages.
• Bulk operations with per-item success/error reporting (partial failures never lose the batch).

Install & configure

1. Get a ClickUp Personal API Token

ClickUp → Settings → Apps → API Token (it starts with pk_).

2. Add to Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "clickup-mcp-pro"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_TOKEN": "pk_your_token_here",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "9007012345"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or, running from source:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["d:/GitHub/easypanel-mcp/projects/clickup-mcp-pro/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "CLICKUP_API_TOKEN": "pk_your_token_here" }
    }
  }
}

3. Claude Desktop

File: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) — same mcpServers block as above.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
CLICKUP_API_TOKEN	✅	—	Personal API token (pk_...). CLICKUP_TOKEN is also accepted.
CLICKUP_TEAM_ID	—	—	Default Team/Workspace id used when a tool omits team_id.
CLICKUP_READONLY	—	false	true blocks all writes (reads still work).
CLICKUP_DISABLE_RAW	—	false	true hides the clickup_raw tool.
CLICKUP_UPLOAD_DIR	—	—	Restrict upload_task_attachment(file_path) to this base directory.
CLICKUP_MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES	—	52428800	Max attachment size (50 MB) for uploads.
CLICKUP_TIMEOUT_MS	—	60000	Per-request timeout.
CLICKUP_MAX_RETRIES	—	3	Max retries on 429/5xx/network errors.

Security notes

This server runs locally and acts on behalf of your token, so it's hardened against the usual ways a malicious prompt could abuse a tool call:

• upload_task_attachment(url) only fetches HTTPS URLs and rejects hosts that resolve to private/loopback/link-local addresses (anti-SSRF), following no redirects.
• upload_task_attachment(file_path) can be confined to a directory with CLICKUP_UPLOAD_DIR to prevent arbitrary local-file exfiltration. Uploads are size-capped (CLICKUP_MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES). Note: don't place symlinks pointing outside the directory inside CLICKUP_UPLOAD_DIR.
• clickup_raw validates the path (must be a clean relative API path — no scheme, host, .. or @) and is blocked for writes under CLICKUP_READONLY=true. Set CLICKUP_DISABLE_RAW=true to remove it entirely in untrusted environments.
• The API token is sent only as an auth header and is never logged or echoed in error messages.
