## About

ClickUp's MCP Server connects an AI assistant to a ClickUp Workspace using the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for letting external AI agents work with app data. Through it, an assistant can read and act on Workspace data such as tasks, lists, folders and docs, using plain language instructions.

The page lists several things the server is used for. Users can manage tasks with assignees, priorities and due dates across lists and spaces. They can create release notes, status updates and portfolio summaries from tasks and docs. They can log time entries and manage timers, search tasks, docs and comments for answers, and summarise comment threads, extract action items and post updates in comments and chat.

The page says the server is aimed at users who want to automate workflows, connect third-party AI tools to their work, or use agentic AI features in the apps they already use. It says the server works with all major MCP clients and apps, and that setup is done by pointing the assistant at the server URL, https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp, and signing in with OAuth.

Authentication is OAuth only. The page says personal API keys and Auth access tokens cannot be used. The server does not include deletion tools, which ClickUp describes as a safety measure for now. Connected Search apps cannot be searched through it. Teams can also build their own MCP client if it uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and the MCP specification.

The server is available on all ClickUp plans. Its usage limits depend on the Workspace plan and on whether the Everything AI add-on has been bought. Without the add-on, the limit is counted per Workspace and per client over a rolling 24-hour window, from 100 calls on Free Forever to 25,000 on Enterprise Plus. With the add-on, the limits match the public API limits for the plan. Each tool call counts as one call, and limits cannot be reset.

The page notes that MCP usage is subject to ClickUp's fair use policy, and that limits may change as ClickUp assesses usage and costs.
