ClickUp MCP server (vendor beta plus a 500-star community version) connecting Claude to tasks, spaces, and project operations.

Community-built ClickUp MCP server for managing tasks, checklists, sprints, comments, tags, spaces, lists, folders, docs, chat, and time tracking in natural language. Formerly open source, it is now a proprietary 'Premium' product: you connect to a hosted server with a paid license key ($9/mo, $59/yr, or lifetime). Supports OAuth 2.1 and API-key auth and multi-workspace sessions across Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients.

Reviewer notes

Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.

Vendor beta available + community version (500 stars). Both usable.

Vendor-official MCP server. Hosted by the vendor. Connectors are account-scoped (JJ Englert finding).

Things to check

No longer open source — the project moved to a proprietary paid model, and full tool access requires a Premium license key for the hosted server. Requires ClickUp OAuth or API token; read/write scope grants are broad. The previous MIT-licensed public repo (460+ stars) is retired, so pinned older versions are unmaintained.
