MCP Server

ClickUp MCP

Manage tasks, docs, and projects in ClickUp directly from agent workflows

ClickUp's official MCP server exposes your workspace's tasks, lists, spaces, and docs as agent-callable tools via the Model Context Protocol. Agents can create tasks, update statuses, assign members, query lists, and more — enabling project management automation without custom API code. The server is hosted at https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp and uses HTTP transport.

Setup

Get your ClickUp Personal API Token

Sign in to ClickUp, click your avatar in the bottom-left corner > Settings > Apps. Under 'API Token', click 'Generate' and copy the token (starts with pk_...). Treat it like a password — it has full access to your ClickUp workspace.

ClickUp API Settings

Add the integration in CipherSense Agents

Go to Project > Integrations > Add Integration > ClickUp MCP. Paste your Personal API Token. The endpoint is pre-filled to https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp and locked. Click Save & Test — CipherSense Agents automatically calls tools/list to discover all available ClickUp tools.

Use in a workflow

Drag a ClickUp MCP node onto the canvas. Select 'Call Tool', enter a tool name (e.g. create_task, get_tasks, update_task), and provide arguments as a JSON object. Wire upstream AI output into the arguments field using template variables like {{upstream_key}}.
