}Get a Clickup task with images and comments by ID
Searches tasks by name, content, assignees, and ID (case insensitive) with fuzzy matching and support for multiple search terms (OR logic). You'll get a rough overview of the tasks that match the search terms, sorted by relevance. Always use getTaskById to get more specific information if a task is relevant.
Lists all open tasks for the current user.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude, Windsurf, and Cursor to interact with your ClickUp tasks. It provides rich task details, full comment history, inline image support, task search, and todo management.
Configure the MCP server in your AI assistant’s settings by adding the ClickUp MCP entry with the npx command and your CLICKUP_API_KEY and CLICKUP_TEAM_ID environment variables. Once connected, ask your assistant to “Show me details for task CU-123456” or “Find tasks related to login functionality.”
MAX_IMAGES environment variable (default 4)You need a ClickUp API Key (starts with `pk_`) and your ClickUp Team ID (the ~7-digit number in the URL when in settings). Set them as `CLICKUP_API_KEY` and `CLICKUP_TEAM_ID` environment variables.
Set the `MAX_IMAGES` environment variable to your desired number. If not set, it defaults to 4. Note that most AI tools have constraints limiting the usable number of images.
The todo list is limited to 50 tasks to avoid flooding the AI assistant’s context.
No. Browsing Lists or Spaces is not currently supported due to performance issues with large instances.
If you set `CLICKUP_PRIMARY_LANGUAGE` (e.g., “de” for German) or the `LANG` environment variable, the `searchTask` tool’s description will recommend providing search terms in both English and that language for better results in multilingual workspaces.
