<img src="assets/images/clickup_mcp_server_social_image.png" alt="ClickUp MCP Server" width="100%">

Enhanced Fork of the original ClickUp MCP Server with additional features and improvements.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating ClickUp tasks with AI applications. This enhanced fork adds task dependency management and fixes critical parameter handling issues while maintaining full compatibility with the original.

🚀 New Features in This Fork

✨ Task Dependencies Management

• Create Dependencies: Link tasks with waiting_on/blocking relationships
• Bulk Dependencies: Add multiple dependencies efficiently
• Dependency Visualization: View complete dependency chains
• Circular Dependency Prevention: Automatic validation to prevent cycles
• Smart Dependency Resolution: Works with task IDs or names

🔧 Parameter Handling Fixes

• Fixed parameter validation issues in task operations
• Improved error handling for missing required parameters
• Enhanced parameter type checking and conversion
• Better support for optional parameters in bulk operations

🧪 Enhanced Testing

• Comprehensive test suite for dependency operations
• Mock-based testing for reliable CI/CD
• Parameter validation test coverage
• Edge case handling verification

Quick Start

      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@djclarkson/clickup-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-clickup-api-key-here",

        "DOCUMENT_SUPPORT": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Command Line Usage

npx -y @djclarkson/clickup-mcp-server@latest --env CLICKUP_API_KEY=your-api-key --env CLICKUP_TEAM_ID=your-team-id

Available Dependency Tools:

• get_task_dependencies - View task dependency chains
• add_bulk_dependencies - Create multiple dependencies efficiently

📝 Enhanced Task Management

Configuration Options

HTTP Transport Support

The server supports both modern HTTP Streamable transport (MCP Inspector compatible) and legacy SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@djclarkson/clickup-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id",
        "ENABLE_SSE": "true",
        "PORT": "3231"
      }
    }
  }
}

Endpoints:

• Primary: http://127.0.0.1:3231/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
• Legacy: http://127.0.0.1:3231/sse (SSE for backwards compatibility)

Deploying to smitheree.ai

For the most stable smitheree.ai experience, use the streamable HTTP transport on the default MCP port (3231) with the /mcp path. The included smithery.yaml is preconfigured for smitheree.ai to run npm run start inside a container, expose port 3231, and advertise the /mcp HTTP endpoint.

Fork Differences

This enhanced fork maintains 100% compatibility with the original while adding:

1. Task Dependencies: Complete dependency management system
2. Parameter Fixes: Resolved parameter validation issues
3. Enhanced Testing: Comprehensive test coverage
4. Better Error Handling: Improved error messages and validation
5. Code Quality: Additional type safety and documentation
