name: clickup-project-management description: Manage ClickUp via natural language. Uses the taazkareem.com remote MCP server. A license key is required for full tool access (unlicensed calls return checkout links). metadata: {"clawdbot": {"emoji": "📋", "homepage": "https://github.com/taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server", "primaryEnv": "CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY", "requires": {"env": ["CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY"]}}}

ClickUp Project Management

Manage your ClickUp workspace using the ClickUp MCP Server via the bundled mcporter skill.

External Endpoints

URL	Data Sent	Purpose
https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp	License key (via X-License-Key header), ClickUp OAuth access token (via Authorization header), MCP tool call payloads (task names, IDs, field values, etc.)	Remote MCP server that proxies ClickUp API v2 calls on your behalf
https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/*	ClickUp OAuth token (proxied by the MCP server)	Upstream ClickUp API — requests are made by the remote server, not directly from your machine

Security & Privacy

• What stays local: Your CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY is stored in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (or your shell environment). OAuth tokens are cached locally by mcporter in ~/.mcporter/.
• What leaves your machine: Every MCP tool call sends your license key and ClickUp OAuth token to the remote server at clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com. Tool call payloads (task data, workspace hierarchy, etc.) are also transmitted.
• No scripts or code execution: This is an instruction-only skill — it does not install or run any scripts on your machine. It relies on the bundled mcporter client.
• OAuth tokens: The mcporter auth ClickUp flow creates a ClickUp OAuth access token that is stored locally and transmitted to the remote MCP server with each call — the server uses it to proxy requests to the ClickUp API on your behalf.

Trust statement: By using this skill, your ClickUp workspace data and OAuth credentials are transmitted to and processed by a third-party server (clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com) operated by Talib Kareem. Only install this skill if you trust this operator and have reviewed the project repository.

Prerequisites

1. Enable mcporter in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

   {
     "skills": {
       "allowBundled": ["mcporter"]
     }
   }
   

2. Configure ClickUp (one-time setup):

   # Use the $CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY env provided by the skill metadata
   mcporter config add ClickUp https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp \
     --auth oauth \
     --header "X-License-Key=$CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY"
   

3. Authenticate (tokens are cached):

   mcporter auth ClickUp
   

Optimization: Tool Filtering Personas

To reduce context noise and improve AI accuracy, you can limit the tools available to your agent using the X-Enabled-Tools header in your mcporter config.

Proactive Agent Rule: If the current task aligns with one of these personas, you should dynamically apply the filtering header by re-running the mcporter config add command with the appropriate X-Enabled-Tools or X-Disabled-Tools flag.

Recommended Presets

Persona	Purpose	Header Config
Auditor	Read-only access	--header X-Enabled-Tools=get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_list,get_folder,get_list_custom_fields,get_task_comments,get_task_time_entries,get_workspace_time_entries,get_current_time_entry,get_task_links,get_space_tags,get_workspace_members,find_member_by_name,get_chat_channels,get_chat_messages,get_document,list_documents,list_document_pages,get_document_pages,submit_feedback
Task Worker	Daily task mgmt	--header X-Enabled-Tools=get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_list,get_folder,get_list_custom_fields,create_task,update_task,set_task_custom_field,move_task,duplicate_task,create_task_comment,get_task_comments,attach_task_file,start_time_tracking,stop_time_tracking,add_tag_to_task,remove_tag_from_task,add_task_link,delete_task_link,get_task_links,add_task_to_list,remove_task_from_list,find_member_by_name,submit_feedback
Time Specialist	Tracking & Reports	--header X-Enabled-Tools=get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_task_time_entries,get_workspace_time_entries,get_current_time_entry,start_time_tracking,stop_time_tracking,add_time_entry,delete_time_entry,submit_feedback
Content Mgr	Docs & Chat	--header X-Enabled-Tools=get_workspace_hierarchy,get_workspace_tasks,get_task,get_task_comments,create_task_comment,find_member_by_name,create_document,get_document,list_documents,list_document_pages,get_document_pages,create_document_page,update_document_page,create_chat_channel,get_chat_channels,create_chat_message,get_chat_messages,submit_feedback
Safe Power User	Full access (No Delete)	--header X-Disabled-Tools=delete_task,delete_bulk_tasks,delete_time_entry,delete_task_link,delete_list,delete_folder,delete_space_tag

How to Apply

To switch to a persona (e.g., Task Worker), run:

mcporter config add ClickUp https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp \
  --header "X-License-Key=$CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY" \
  --header "X-Enabled-Tools=get_workspace_hierarchy,..."

Personalization & Workflows

Following the OpenClaw standard, do not modify this skill for environment-specific details. Instead, use your agent's workspace/TOOLS.md file to define:

• Custom Workflows: Define multi-step orchestrations (e.g., "Daily Wrap-up").
• Specific IDs: Store commonly used team_id, list_ids, folder_ids, etc.
• Structures or Conventions: Any rules or consistent behavior (e.g., common custom fields, tag rules, etc.)

Usage

Use the standard mcporter command pattern:

mcporter call ClickUp.<tool_name> [parameters]
