Two ways to connect
ClickUp now runs a hosted MCP server. Connect it and the agent can work across your entire ClickUp workspace.- ClickUp MCP (recommended). Connect ClickUp’s MCP server once and the agent can create and update tasks, manage lists and folders, track time, post messages. See Connect with MCP.
- ClickUp OAuth. The original sign-in integration, scoped to what you grant. See Connect with OAuth.
