# ClickUp

> Manage tasks, projects, and team collaboration with AI-powered automation.

ClickUp is a project management platform that organizes tasks, projects, and collaboration in one place. The ClickUp MCP server lets you view, create, and update tasks, lists, and folders using natural language.

## What Can It Do?

* **Retrieve workspaces, spaces, folders, lists, and tasks** without writing code
* **Create and update tasks** with assignees, due dates, and priorities
* **Add comments** to keep teammates informed
* **Manage project structure** by creating lists and folders

## Where to Use It

### In Agents (Recommended)

Add ClickUp as a tool to any agent. The agent can then interact with your projects conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context.

**To add an MCP tool to your agent:**

1. Open your agent's configuration
2. Click **Add tools** → **Connect an app with MCP**
3. Search for the integration and select it
4. Authenticate with your account

<Tip>
  You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.
</Tip>

### In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an [Agent Node](/core-concepts/agent_node) with ClickUp tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

### As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.

</div>

**To create a custom MCP node:**

1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
2. Click **Create a node with AI**
3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., "Get tasks from the Sprint 23 list")
4. Test the node and save it for reuse

<Info>
  Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

```

**Update a task:**

```
Mark the API Documentation task as complete
```

**Add a comment:**

```
Add a comment to the Logo Redesign task: "Waiting on client approval"

```
List all folders in the Marketing space
```

## Troubleshooting

| Issue                            | Solution                                                                                                                                        |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Agent not finding the right data | Use specific list names or provide the workspace context                                                                                        |
| Action not completing            | Check that you've authenticated and have permissions for the workspace                                                                          |
| Unexpected results               | The agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., finding the list first, then getting tasks). Review the agent's reasoning to understand its approach. |
| Tool not available               | Verify the tool is [enabled in your agent's MCP configuration](/core-concepts/agents#tool-management-and-approvals)                             |

<Tip>
  Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking "Create a task in the Marketing folder" will find the workspace, space, and folder first, then create the task. If results seem off, check the agent's step-by-step reasoning.
