  • Smart Content Processing: Automatic markdown ↔ HTML ↔ plain text conversion
  • Syntax Highlighting: Code blocks with language-specific highlighting
  • Backward Compatible: Existing plain text content continues to work

🛠️ Comprehensive API Coverage

  • 177 Total Tools covering 100% of major ClickUp API endpoints
  • 9 Feature Domains: Tasks, comments, docs, webhooks, views, dependencies, attachments, time tracking, goals
  • Real-time Integration: Webhook processing with HMAC validation
  • Advanced Workflows: Dependencies, custom fields, bulk operations

🔒 Production Ready Security

  • Zero Vulnerabilities: Comprehensive security audit with 85+ test cases

  • Backward Compatibility: Previous tool names are deprecated but documented for migration
  • Examples: clickup_create_task, clickup_get_workspaces, clickup_update_comment

📊 Complete Tool Inventory (177 Tools, plus 3 catalog tools)

🧠 Discovery & Tool Loading ⭐

  • Catalog tools (always on): clickup_list_toolsets, clickup_enable_toolset, clickup_call_tool reach every tool without loading all schemas up front (see Tool loading)
  • Smart Discovery: clickup_get_workspace_hierarchy (names to IDs in one call), clickup_find_member, clickup_search_chat_channels

Core Workspace Management (54 tools)

  • Workspaces: clickup_get_workspaces, clickup_get_workspace_seats
  • Finding things by name: clickup_get_workspace_hierarchy — the whole space/folder/list tree as IDs and names in one call, with an optional name_filter. Start here when you know a name but need an ID; it replaces a manual walk that measured 4 round trips and 60 KB against a real workspace (now 2 calls and ~200 bytes).
  • Spaces & Lists: clickup_get_spaces, clickup_get_lists, clickup_create_list, clickup_update_list, clickup_delete_list (with safeguards)
  • Tasks: clickup_get_tasks, clickup_create_task, clickup_update_task, clickup_get_task_details (with markdown support)
  • Bulk Task Operations: clickup_bulk_create_tasks, clickup_bulk_update_tasks (up to 50 tasks per request)
  • Delete Operations: clickup_delete_task, clickup_bulk_delete_tasks, clickup_delete_subtask (with confirmation safeguards)
  • Task Merging: clickup_merge_tasks (merge multiple tasks with content preservation)
  • Comments: clickup_create_task_comment, clickup_create_list_comment, clickup_create_chat_view_comment (with markdown)
  • Checklists: clickup_create_checklist, clickup_update_checklist, clickup_create_checklist_item

Advanced Feature Domains

  • 📄 Document Management (18 tools): Full CRUD, pages, sharing, search with markdown support
  • 🔧 Custom Fields (15 tools): All field types, values, templates, bulk operations
  • 📎 Attachments (14 tools): Upload, download, versions, thumbnails, security validation
  • 👁️ Views (13 tools): All view types, filters, grouping, sharing, custom configurations

  • 🔔 Webhooks (11 tools): Real-time processing, HMAC validation, event history
  • ⏱️ Time Tracking (10 tools): Entries, timers, analytics, team tracking
  • 💬 Chat & Communication (24 tools): Enhanced chat discovery and messaging

🚀 Efficiency Examples

Smart Chat Discovery

Instead of hierarchical navigation:

// ❌ OLD WAY (4+ API calls)
clickup_get_workspaces() → clickup_get_spaces() → clickup_get_views() → filter for chat

// ✅ NEW WAY (1 tool call; searches up to the first 1,000 channels)
clickup_search_chat_channels({ workspace_id: "123", query: "development" })

Bulk Task Operations

// Create multiple tasks efficiently
clickup_bulk_create_tasks({
  list_id: "123456789",

    { task_id: "ghi789", assignees: [12345, 67890] }
  ],
  continue_on_error: false
})
// Returns: Bulk update results with execution time and detailed status

Delete Operations with Safeguards

🚀 Easy Installation

Option 1: One-Click Installer (Recommended)

Download and run the automated installer:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Chykalophia/ClickUp-MCP-Server---Enhanced/main/clickup-installer.js
node clickup-installer.js

Or via NPX:

npx clickup-mcp-installer

Option 2: Web Configurator

Visit the web-based configurator for visual setup: ClickUp MCP Configurator

  1. Enter your ClickUp API token
  2. Download the generated config file
  3. Place it in your Claude Desktop config directory

Option 3: NPM Package (Manual Setup)

Use the published npm package - no build required:

@chykalophia/clickup-mcp-server

Option 4: Build from Source

For development or customization:

git clone https://github.com/Chykalophia/ClickUp-MCP-Server---Enhanced.git
cd ClickUp-MCP-Server---Enhanced
npm install
npm run build

Get ClickUp API Token

  1. Log in to ClickUp account
  2. Go to Settings > Apps
  3. Click "Generate API Token"
  4. Copy the token

Configuration

Add to the MCP settings file:

🚀 Quick Setup Configuration

NPM Package (Recommended) ⭐

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chykalophia/clickup-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Keep the @latest. Without a version specifier, npx runs a matching binary already on your $PATH instead of fetching from the registry. If you have ever run npm install -g @chykalophia/clickup-mcp-server, that global copy wins silently and the server never updates — no error, it just keeps serving the old version. A version specifier (@latest or @6.0.1) bypasses the $PATH binary. To check what is actually running, look at the version reported in the MCP handshake rather than trusting the config.

🔧 Build from Source (Advanced Users)

If you prefer to build from source, point your client at the built server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/ClickUp-MCP-Server---Enhanced/packages/core/build/index-enhanced.js"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

There is a single server. build/index-enhanced.js is the entry point; the clickup-mcp-server-basic, clickup-mcp-server-enhanced and clickup-mcp-server-efficiency bins (and build/index.js / build/index-efficiency-simple.js) are aliases of it, kept so existing configs keep working. They all expose the same tools.

📝 Configuration Notes

  • Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE with your actual ClickUp API token
  • NPM method requires no installation or cloning - the package is downloaded automatically
  • Build from source requires cloning this repository and running npm run build
  • Local file uploads are off by default. clickup_upload_attachment only accepts file_path when you set CLICKUP_UPLOAD_DIR to a directory (e.g. "CLICKUP_UPLOAD_DIR": "/Users/me/clickup-uploads"); the resolved path, after following symlinks, must stay inside it. file_data (base64) and file_url work without it. file_url must resolve to a public address: private, loopback, link-local, CGNAT and cloud-metadata addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) are refused, and every redirect hop is re-checked.

Tool Loading (CLICKUP_TOOL_MODE, CLICKUP_TOOLSETS)

Changed in 7.0.0: the server registers every tool but publishes only a core set on connect — 17 tools, ~29 KB of tools/list instead of ~173 KB. Everything else stays one call away through three always-on catalog tools:

  • clickup_list_toolsets — every toolset, its tools, and whether it is enabled (include_schemas: true with a toolset returns full input schemas)
  • clickup_enable_toolset — switch toolsets on or off at runtime; the client is notified via notifications/tools/list_changed
  • clickup_call_tool — run any tool by name, enabled or not, with the same strict parameter validation as a direct call
Variable Effect
CLICKUP_TOOL_MODE=core Default. Core tools + catalog tools.
CLICKUP_TOOL_MODE=all Every tool, as in 6.x (with CLICKUP_TOOLSETS unset or all; named toolsets narrow it to exactly those).
CLICKUP_TOOLSETS=goals,time Add whole toolsets or profiles to core (all = everything).

Toolsets: tasks, lists, comments, custom-fields, docs, workspace, bulk, attachments, time-tracking, goals, views, webhooks, checklists, chat, spaces, dependencies. Profiles: pm (tasks, comments, lists, custom-fields, checklists, dependencies), time, chat, docs, admin (spaces, views, webhooks, goals, workspace).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chykalophia/clickup-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE",
        "CLICKUP_TOOLSETS": "pm,time"
      }
    }
  }
}

Every tool also carries MCP annotations (title, read-only / destructive / idempotent hints), and destructive tools ask for confirmation when the client advertises form elicitation (elicitation.form, or the older empty elicitation: {}; CLICKUP_CONFIRM_DESTRUCTIVE=false turns that off). Resources are always registered. CLICKUP_DEBUG_TOOLS=true adds the raw-API debugging tool clickup_create_task_comment_raw_test.

Full details: docs/guides/TOOL_LOADING.md.

Parameter Handling

Unknown parameters are rejected

Every tool validates its arguments strictly. A parameter name the tool does not declare is an error naming the offending key, the closest valid name when one is close enough, and the full valid set:

MCP error -32602: Unknown parameter(s) for clickup_create_task: markdown_contnet.
"markdown_contnet" -> did you mean "markdown_content"?
Valid parameters: list_id, name, description, markdown_content, ...

Before v6.2.0 an unknown key was silently discarded and the operation ran anyway, so a misspelled description produced a real task with an empty body and a success response. Note that the JSON Schema this server publishes has always declared additionalProperties: false; strict validation makes the runtime obey the contract it was already advertising, rather than adding a new restriction.

Alternative parameter names are accepted

Where this server's parameter name differs from ClickUp's public API or from Anthropic's first-party ClickUp MCP, both names work. The alias is renamed to the canonical name before the tool runs, so nothing is sent twice.

Alias Canonical Where
workspace_id team_id any tool taking team_id (42 tools)
team_id workspace_id any tool taking workspace_id (39 tools)
document_id doc_id the doc tools (7 tools)
markdown_description markdown_content clickup_create_task, clickup_update_task
folder_ids project_ids clickup_get_filtered_team_tasks
task_id, source_task_ids primary_task_id, secondary_task_ids clickup_merge_tasks

workspace_id / team_id is bidirectional because the split is internal too: this server's own tools are divided between the two spellings for the same workspace ID. Both now work everywhere rather than renaming half the surface.

Where a canonical parameter was required and has an alias, the schema marks it optional and its description says Required unless <alias> is given instead; supplying neither is still an error. Aliases are renames only — parameters that differ in type from the first-party server (priority, due_date, time_estimate, assignees, start/stop) are deliberately not aliased, since coercing values silently is the failure mode this release exists to remove. See packages/core/src/utils/param-aliases.ts for the full table and the reasoning.

🤔 What is MCP and How Do You Use It?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a protocol that allows AI assistants (like Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to access external tools and data sources. Unlike traditional applications with user interfaces, MCP tools are accessed through AI conversations.

🎯 How to Access Your New AI Intelligence Tools

Method 1: Claude Desktop (Recommended)

Step 1: Install the Intelligence Package

npm install @chykalophia/clickup-intelligence-mcp-server

Step 2: Configure Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

Location:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup-intelligence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chykalophia/clickup-intelligence-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_CLICKUP_API_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

Step 4: Use the Tools in Conversation

Simply ask Claude to analyze your ClickUp projects:

"Can you analyze the health of my ClickUp workspace? The workspace ID is 12345678"

Method 2: Other MCP-Compatible AI Assistants

The same configuration works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant:

  • Cline (VS Code extension)
  • Continue.dev
  • Other MCP clients
