modbender 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_KEYis stored in~/.openclaw/openclaw.json(or your shell environment). OAuth tokens are cached locally bymcporterin~/.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
mcporterclient. - OAuth tokens: The
mcporter auth ClickUpflow 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
Enable mcporter in
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:{ "skills": { "allowBundled": ["mcporter"] } }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"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]
