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.
