Markdown Content:
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a secure, standardized framework that lets external AI agents interact with ClickUp Workspace data—like tasks, lists, folders, and docs—using natural language. MCP helps users, especially developers, automate workflows, connect third-party AI tools, and enable agentic AI features in their preferred apps, all while keeping security and user control tight.
ClickUp's MCP Server is available on all plans.

ClickUp's MCP Server has rate limits that depend on two criteria:
- If your Workspace has purchased the Everything AI add-on.
- Your Workspace plan.
📘
Note:
- MCP usage and rate limits are subject to the terms of ourfair use policy.
- Future restrictions may apply to ClickUp MCP features.
- ClickUp MCP usage and rate limits may change as we assess usage and costs.
If your Workspace has purchased the Everything AI add-on, your MCP rate limits are the same as the rate limits for our Public API, which vary by plan.
If your Workspace has not purchased the Everything AI add-on, your MCP usage is subject to the following rate limits by plan:
| Plan | MCP Calls per rolling 24 hours |
|---|
| Free Forever | 100 |
| Core/Unlimited | 300 |
| Business | 1,000 |
| Business Plus | 2,500 |
| Enterprise | 5,000 |
| Enterprise Plus | 25,000 |
-
Limits are per Workspace and per client. Example: an Unlimited Workspace gets 300/24h for Claude and a separate 300/24h for Cursor.
-
Each tool call counts as 1. initialize and tools/list don't count. When the limit is hit, the call returns RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED with retryAfter.
-
Plans with no daily cap still follow the public API per-minute limits, and MCP shares that budget with the public API.
-
MCP doesn't use AI Super Credits.
The rolling 24-hour rate limits begin with your first request.
* For example, starting on Monday at 1 pm, you use the MCP to send 200 requests.
* On Tuesday, at 11 am, you send another 100 requests.
* You will be rate-limited and unable to send additional requests via MCP until 1 pm on Tuesday.
Q. Can I authenticate with my own API keys or Auth access tokens?
A. No, you cannot authenticate using your own API keys or Auth access tokens. We only support OAuth for authentication.
Q. Why can't I delete things with the MCP?
A. For the time being, we haven’t added any deletion tools as a safety measure. Feel free to leave your feedback here.
Q. Can I search my apps with Connected Search using ClickUp MCP?
A. No, it is not possible to search connected apps.
Q. Can I connect my custom LLM Client?
A. Yes, if your team builds an MCP client implementation that meets the following criteria:
- Implements the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol over HTTP.
- Supports OAuth 2.1 with PKCE authentication.
- Follows the MCP specification.
