ClickUp MCP

# 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

```bash # 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 ```bash 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 ```bash jq -r '.mcpOAuth | to_entries | .[] | select(.key | startswith("clickup")) | .value.accessToken' ~/.claude/.credentials.json ```

Step 3: Add to environment ```bash # Add to ~/.clawdbot/.env CLICKUP_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOiJkaXIi... ```

Step 4: Configure mcporter

Add to `config/mcporter.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "clickup": { "baseUrl": "https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp", "description": "Official ClickUp MCP", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${CLICKUP_TOKEN}" } } } } ```

Step 5: Test ```bash mcporter list clickup mcporter call 'clickup.clickup_search(keywords: "test", count: 3)' ```

Token Refresh

1. Tokens are long-lived (~10 years). If expired:
2. Re-run `/mcp` in Claude Code
3. Re-extract token from `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
4. Update `CLICKUP_TOKEN` in `.env`
