ClickUp Task Management

What it is

A ClickUp MCP server focused on task management. It wraps the ClickUp v2 API and trims each response before returning it: whoami drops from about 3,500 characters to about 160, and a created comment from about 1,500 to 38, so more of the context window stays available for the work itself.

What you get

• clickup_whoami, clickup_get_spaces, clickup_get_folders, clickup_get_lists and clickup_get_list — walk from the workspace down to one list and its statuses
• clickup_create_list and clickup_delete_list — create a list in a folder or space, or delete one permanently
• clickup_get_task, clickup_create_task, clickup_update_task, clickup_get_tasks and clickup_search_tasks — read, write and search tasks; assignees are changed through add and rem arrays rather than a flat list
• clickup_set_custom_field — set a custom field value, which update_task cannot do
• clickup_delete_task — delete a task permanently
• clickup_get_space_tags, clickup_create_space_tag, clickup_edit_space_tag, clickup_delete_space_tag, clickup_add_tag_to_task and clickup_remove_tag_from_task — space tags and their assignment
• clickup_create_checklist, clickup_edit_checklist, clickup_delete_checklist, clickup_create_checklist_item, clickup_edit_checklist_item and clickup_delete_checklist_item — checklists and their items
• clickup_add_dependency, clickup_delete_dependency, clickup_add_task_link and clickup_delete_task_link — waiting-on and blocking relationships, and plain links between tasks
• clickup_create_comment, clickup_get_comments, clickup_update_comment, clickup_create_reply and clickup_get_replies — comments, threaded replies and resolution, paginated 25 per page
• clickup_get_workspace_members and clickup_get_list_members — who is in the workspace, and who can see a given list

Requirements

A ClickUp Personal API Token, generated under Settings > Apps and passed as CLICKUP_API_TOKEN. Clients launch it with npx @cavort-it-systems/clickup-mcp over stdio, so there is nothing to install first.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — npx @cavort-it-systems/clickup-mcp, then supply credentials

Tools you get

37 tools when we connected. clickup_add_task_to_list and clickup_remove_task_from_list do not register; they need ClickUp's paid Tasks in Multiple Lists feature, and neither moves a task between lists.

Requires

• npx on PATH
• CLICKUP_API_TOKEN in your environment
