🚀 Quick Start

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js v18.0.0+
• ClickUp Credentials: API Key & Team ID
• License Key: Purchase here

2. Local Configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json or similar MCP settings file to run locally via npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
			"args": [
				"-y",
				"@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest"
			],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-clickup-api-key",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id",
        "CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "your-license-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Hosted / Remote Usage (Beta releases)

-or- For zero-setup usage without local Node.js requirements, use the hosted version:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-ClickUp-Key": "your-clickup-api-key",
        "X-ClickUp-Team-Id": "your-team-id",
        "X-License-Key": "your-license-key-here",
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Restart

Restart your MCP Host (e.g., Cursor IDE). The server will validate your license and start automatically.

⚙️ Configuration

Finding Your Credentials

1. ClickUp API Key:
   • Navigate to ClickUp Settings → Apps.
   • Generate a token under "API Token".
2. ClickUp Team ID:
   • Open ClickUp in your browser.
   • Look at the URL: https://app.clickup.com/[TEAM_ID]/v/...
   • The first number is your Team ID.
   • Note: ClickUp API calls this team_id, but it actually represents your Workspace ID.

Advanced Configuration

Filter Available Tools

💡 Pro Tip! Reduce context noise by limiting available tools in your env arguments:

"ENABLED_TOOLS": "get_workspace_hierarchy,create_task,get_task,update_task"

-or- the hosted version headers:

"X-Enabled-Tools": "find_member_by_name, create_chat_channel, create_chat_message, get_chat_messages, submit_feedback"

Enable Document Support (Beta)

Enable creation and management of ClickUp Docs:

"DOCUMENT_SUPPORT": "true"

---

In n8n, use http://host.docker.internal:3231/mcp as the URL.

❓ FAQ

Why isn't this free anymore? Building reliable MCP integrations requires significant maintenance. Moving to a paid model allows us to support this as a product rather than a hobby, ensuring compatibility with API changes.

I have an old version. Will it stop working? Existing local clones will continue to work, but you will not receive updates, bug fixes, or support without a license.

How do I get support? Premium users get priority support. Please open an issue in this repository.
