ClickUp MCP server: ClickUp tasks in Claude and ChatGPT

“ClickUp MCP” can mean three things in 2026. ClickUp runs its own remote MCP server at https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp that signs in with OAuth. Hosted servers such as the Ryze AI one sit on top of ClickUp’s regular REST API and take a personal token. Developers also self-host community servers from GitHub. This page documents the Ryze AI server and compares it with ClickUp’s own in section 06. ClickUp’s own AI assistant is a separate product and is not covered here.

Each tool takes a ClickUp API path, so the agent decides which endpoint to call from your prompt. When your client connection covers more than one Ryze AI workspace, the tools also take workspace. The tool list below comes from the Ryze AI app source and the help center; it was not captured from a live ClickUp connection.

A create-task request, as the agent sends it

{
  "name": "Fix broad-match keywords in Brand campaign",
  "markdown_content": "Pause the **broad-match keywords** listed in the attached sheet.",
  "assignees": [183],
  "status": "to do",
  "priority": 2,
  "due_date": 1792425600000,
  "tags": ["google-ads"]
}

The path and field names follow ClickUp’s Create Task reference. The IDs and the date in this example are placeholders. Ask the agent to read the List and the members first so it uses real status names and user IDs.

Fields from ClickUp’s Create Task reference, checked Nov 8, 2026. Ad and analytics tools on the same URL are documented on Google Ads MCP, Meta Ads MCP and Google Analytics MCP.

Name the List, the assignee and the due date in the prompt, and ask the agent to read the List first so it skips tasks that already exist.

Every answer comes from your own Workspace and ad accounts, so no sample results are shown here. Ryze AI documents task creation, task updates and comments as the changes it makes in ClickUp; Docs are read only.

Step 1: link ClickUp in Ryze AI

1. 01In ClickUp, click your avatar, open Settings, then Apps, and under API Token click Generate. Copy the token; it starts with pk_.
2. 02In Ryze AI, open Integrations, click Connect on the ClickUp card, paste the token into Personal API token and click Continue.
3. 03Choose the Workspace the agent reads and writes and click Save. If you belong to only one Workspace, Ryze AI picks it.

Steps are also in the Ryze AI ClickUp guide. You can instead start the connection from inside Claude or ChatGPT with a one-time connection link.

Claude on the web or desktop

1. 01Go to Customize, Connectors.
2. 02Choose + Add, then Add custom connector. Enter Ryze AI as the name and https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp as the MCP server URL.
3. 03Press Connect, tick the workspace that holds ClickUp and press Allow connection.
4. 04Claude keeps the tool list from the moment the connector is added. If you connected ClickUp afterwards, remove the connector, add it again and start a new chat.

Any Claude plan works, and Free holds one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an Owner adds Ryze AI under Organization settings, Connectors, Add, Custom, Web, and each member then clicks Connect.

ChatGPT

OpenAI documents custom MCP servers for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise/Edu on the web, and read and fetch access only for Pro. On Business, an admin or owner creates the connector. In Plugins, choose Add custom MCP server, name it Ryze AI, enter the URL, pick OAuth and complete the Ryze AI sign-in. In ChatGPT, the ClickUp tools appear after the connector is created or refreshed, so remove and re-add it if you connected ClickUp later. ChatGPT plan rules differ between OpenAI and older guides, so check your plan in OpenAI’s help center.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http ryze https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp --scope user

Type /mcp, choose ryze and finish sign-in in the browser. Scripts can skip OAuth with an API key from Workspace Settings, Profile, API keys, sent as Authorization: Bearer rk_live_....

Cursor, Windsurf and VS Code

{ "mcpServers": {
  "ryze": { "url": "https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp" }
} }

{ "mcpServers": {
  "ryze": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp" }
} }

Windsurf (Devin Desktop) takes the same url entry in ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json. Cursor asks for approval before it uses an MCP tool by default. More configs are on the developer page.

Grok Bot and other clients

The Ryze AI help center says Ryze AI is listed in Grok Bot under Connect apps: search Ryze AI, Add and sign in. If it is not listed, add the URL as a custom MCP server. Any other client with remote MCP support takes the same URL.

A ClickUp personal token has no scope picker: it carries the owner’s permissions. Token details from ClickUp’s authentication docs, checked Nov 8, 2026. ClickUp’s docs describe OAuth 2.0 as the route for apps that serve many users; Ryze AI uses the personal token.

Removing access

In ClickUp, regenerate the token under Settings, Apps, which stops the old one. In Ryze AI, open the ClickUp card and disconnect it. In Claude, open Customize, Connectors, Ryze AI and click Disconnect, which cuts off every workspace at once.

Three things called ClickUp MCP

Ryze AI and ClickUp’s server side by side

As published on Nov 8, 2026. ClickUp changes its server over time, so check its tool list before you decide.

Which to pick: if the work stays inside ClickUp, ClickUp’s own server covers more of it, including search, time tracking, chat and editing Docs, and it signs in with OAuth instead of a token. Ryze AI fits when the question crosses tools, such as ClickUp tasks next to Google Ads or Meta Ads data, or when ClickUp is one of several platforms you want in the same chat.

Rate limits from ClickUp’s rate limit docs, checked Nov 8, 2026.

The first three rows come from the Ryze AI help center. The rest follow from ClickUp’s rate limit and Create Task docs and from how the token owner’s permissions apply. More Ryze AI answers are in the integrations FAQ.
