A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating ClickUp tasks with AI applications. This server allows AI agents to interact with ClickUp tasks, spaces, lists, and folders through a standardized protocol.

> 🚧 **Status Update:** Rolling out v0.6.9 will add Global Task Lookup with smart disambiguation, Start Date Support for tasks with natural language expressions, Complete Tag Support including natural language tag color commands, Subtasks Support, Custom ID Support, and Logging Fixes

## Setup

1. Get your credentials:
   - ClickUp API key from [ClickUp Settings](https://app.clickup.com/settings/apps)
   - Team ID from your ClickUp workspace URL
2. Choose either hosted installation (sends webhooks) or NPX installation (downloads to local path and installs dependencies)
3. Use natural language to manage your workspace!

## Prompts
Not yet implemented and not supported by all client apps. Request a feature for a Prompt implementation that would be most beneficial for your workflow (without it being too specific). Examples:

| Prompt | Purpose | Features |
|--------|---------|----------|
| [summarize_tasks](docs/api-reference.md#prompts) | Task overview | Status summary, priorities, relationships |
| [analyze_priorities](docs/api-reference.md#prompts) | Priority optimization | Distribution analysis, sequencing |
| [generate_description](docs/api-reference.md#prompts) | Task description creation | Objectives, criteria, dependencies |

## Error Handling

The server provides clear error messages for:
- Missing required parameters
- Invalid IDs or names
- Items not found
- Permission issues
- API errors
- Rate limiting

The `LOG_LEVEL` environment variable can be specified to control the verbosity of server logs. Valid values are `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, and `error` (default).
This can be also be specified on the command line as, e.g. `--env LOG_LEVEL=info`.
