🔥 Multi-Account Support: Manage multiple authorized workspaces seamlessly in a single session. See setup
|
🔐 Hybrid Authentication MCP spec-compliant OAuth 2.1 with advanced security hardening and session-isolated caching for fast, secure multi-tenant operation. Backwards compatible with API Key/Team ID(s). |
🔍 Intelligent Search & Resolution Smart tiered, global fuzzy search across task, list, folder, and space names, custom fields, members/emails, statuses, tags, descriptions, and more. Automatic resolution—no IDs needed. |
|
📝 Task Management Full CRUD, move, duplicate, link, and set dependencies between tasks. Supports bulk operations, nested subtasks, checklists, sprints (active detection), natural language dates, custom task IDs, custom task types, custom fields, task templates, and file attachments (upload via URL, local path, or base64). |
⏱️ Time Tracking Start/stop timers, log manual entries, edit existing entries, retrieve timer history, manage time entry tags, and filter time entries across the entire workspace using natural language dates or date ranges. |
|
📄 Document Management Create, read, and append to ClickUp Docs with full markdown text. Manage pages within documents for structured, long-form content (consolidated action-based tool). |
💬 Comments & Chat Post, edit, resolve, and reply to comments on tasks, lists, and views. Create and manage chat channels (including DMs), send messages with threaded replies, reactions, and follower management. Both support rich text, subtypes, and @mentions. |
|
🎯 Goals & Key Results Create and manage Goals with full lifecycle support—create, update, delete, and archive. Define and track nested Key Results to measure OKR progress across the workspace. |
📋 Views Create, list, update, and delete views at any level of the workspace hierarchy—space, folder, or list. Fetch tasks scoped to a specific view for focused filtering. |
|
🗂️ Task Templates Browse available task templates and instantly create tasks from them. Streamlines repeatable workflows without manual setup each time. |
🌳 Workspace Control Full CRUD for spaces, folders, lists, webhooks, and tags across the entire workspace hierarchy. Manage access control (ACL) permissions at any level. Switch workspaces mid-conversation without reconfiguration. |
This project transitioned from open-source to a paid model for sustainable full-time development and priority support. A license grants full, unrestricted access to all features across your agents⎯no limits.

https://app.clickup.com/1234567/v/li/987654321.1234567) directly after clickup.com/ is your Team ID (Workspace ID).Single Agent Configuration Path: ~/.hermes/config.yaml
Option A: Remote / Streamable HTTP
hermes mcp add clickup \
--url https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp \
--auth oauth && \
hermes config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-License-Key "your-license-key"
Option B: Local / STDIO
hermes mcp add clickup \
--command npx \
--args -y @taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest \

CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY="your-license-key"
hermesRun a team of specialized agents on the same workspace (or separate). Each Hermes profile is an isolated agent with its own config and SOUL.md instructions. Configure each profile to match a persona (X-Persona) as needed. This will scope which ClickUp tools is in its context. Guide with examples:
1. Create the profiles
hermes profile create project_manager
hermes profile create task_worker
hermes profile create auditor
Optional: Use
--cloneto copy the existing config.yaml/.env/SOUL.md, or re-run the commands from above.
2. Set each profile's persona. The profile has the MCP config now, so just add the matching persona:
project_manager config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-Persona "project_manager"
task_worker config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-Persona "task_worker"
auditor config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-Persona "auditor"
See → Advanced Configuration for more customized filtering options.
3. Give each agent its instructions in ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md (auditor shown):
# ClickUp Auditor
You are a read-only project auditor. Observe and report — never change anything.
- Summarize task status, overdue items, and blockers concisely.
- Surface risks and recommend actions, but never execute them.
- If asked to create or modify a task, decline and explain you are read-only.
Run any agent query by its profile (call by User or Agent):
project_manager chat -q "Break the Q3 launch into a list with subtasks and owners"
auditor chat -q "Audit the Sprint board and report what's at risk"
-OR-
Run a TUI or Gateway called by User:
project_manager gateway start
auditor chat
Other (Custom Agents, etc.) For most other MCP-compliant hosts:
https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcpX-License-Key: your-license-key1. Enable mcporter in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{ "skills": { "allowBundled": ["mcporter"] } }
2. Configure & Auth
# Add ClickUp as a remote server
mcporter config add ClickUp https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp --auth oauth --header "X-License-Key=your-license-key"
# Authenticate session
mcporter auth ClickUp
Pro Tip: Use Personas to define multiple isolated configurations (e.g., Auditor vs. Worker) in your agent's
mcporter.json.

💡 Pro Tip! Reduce context noise for the AI by limiting available tools. There are 3 ways to do this. You can filter by exact tool name, by tool category, by personas (presets), or a combination of all three.
Local (Environment Variable):
"ENABLED_TOOLS": "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3",
"ENABLED_CATEGORIES": "task,time_tracking,workspace"
-or- Hermes (YAML):
mcp_servers:
clickup:
env:
ENABLED_TOOLS: "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3"
ENABLED_CATEGORIES: "task,time_tracking,workspace"
-or- Remote (Header):
"X-Enabled-Tools": "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3",
"X-Enabled-Categories": "task,time_tracking,workspace"
Simplify setup by using Personas. You can set a persona via the CLICKUP_MCP_PERSONA environment variable or the X-Persona HTTP header to automatically filter a set of tools.
Multiple personas can be combined (e.g., "X-Persona": "task_worker,time_specialist").
| Persona | Description | Target Use Case |
|---|---|---|
📋 auditor |
Read-only access | View tasks, goals, docs, and chat (Read-only). |
👷 task_worker |
Daily management | Task CRUD, time tracking, and checklists. |
⏱️ time_specialist |
Time tracking focus | Time logs, timesheets, and entry history. |
🏗️ project_manager |
High-level control | Spaces, folders, lists, and bulk operations. |
📚 content_manager |
Communication | Docs, chat, comments, and attachments. |
🏢 workspace_admin |
Admin control | Permissions, guests, and audit logs. |
💻 developer |
Programmatic | Webhooks, custom fields, bulk automation. |
🛡️ safe_power_user |
Full access | All tools except destructive deletes/removals. |
Local (Environment Variable):
"CLICKUP_MCP_PERSONA": "task_worker"
-or- Remote (Header):
"X-Persona": "task_worker"
💡 Need to customize? To view the exact tools included in each preset or to build a custom list based on a persona, see the Personas Reference Guide.
Simultaneously federate OAuth and multiple API keys to manage tasks across different authorized ClickUp accounts/workspaces in a single session. Easily move or duplicate tasks between workspaces, configure AI Agents for cross-workspace automation, and more.

Why isn't this free anymore? Building reliable MCP integrations requires significant maintenance. Moving to a paid model allows us to support this as a product rather than a hobby, ensuring compatibility with API changes.
I have an old version. Will it stop working? Existing local clones will continue to work, but you will not receive updates, bug fixes, or support without a license.
How do I get support? Premium users get priority support. Please open an issue in this repository.
