ClickUp MCP (Official)
Access ClickUp via the official MCP server. Full workspace search, task management, time tracking, comments, chat, and docs.
Setup
Option 1: Direct OAuth (Supported Clients Only)
ClickUp MCP only allows OAuth from allowlisted clients:
- Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT
# Claude Code
claude mcp add clickup --transport http https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
# Then /mcp in session to authorize
Option 2: Claude Code → mcporter (Recommended)
Use Claude Code to OAuth, then extract token for mcporter:
Step 1: Authorize via Claude Code
claude mcp add clickup --transport http https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp
claude
# In Claude Code, run: /mcp
# Complete OAuth in browser
Step 2: Extract token
jq -r '.mcpOAuth | to_entries | .[] | select(.key | startswith("clickup")) | .value.accessToken' ~/.claude/.credentials.json
Step 3: Add to environment
# Add to ~/.clawdbot/.env
CLICKUP_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJkaXIi...
Step 4: Configure mcporter
Add to config/mcporter.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"clickup": {
"baseUrl": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp",
"description": "Official ClickUp MCP",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${CLICKUP_TOKEN}"
}
}
}
}
Step 5: Test
mcporter list clickup
mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_search(keywords: "test", count: 3)'
Token Refresh
Tokens are long-lived (~10 years). If expired:
- Re-run
/mcpin Claude Code - Re-extract token from
~/.claude/.credentials.json - Update
CLICKUP_TOKENin.env
