🚀 Quick Start

1. Prerequisites

License Key: See above
ClickUp API Key (Optional - not needed for Remote MCP)
- Log into ClickUp and go to ClickUp Settings → Apps.
- Click Generate under "API Token" (or copy your existing one).
ClickUp Team ID (Optional - not needed for Remote MCP)
- Open ClickUp in your browser.
- Look at the URL: https://app.clickup.com/1234567/v/li/987654321.
- The first number (1234567) directly after clickup.com/ is your Team ID (Workspace ID).

2. Choose your MCP Host & Transport

Download from antigravity.google. Covers Antigravity IDE (VS Code-based agentic editor) and Antigravity 2.0 (standalone desktop agent orchestration app). Both share the same configuration file.

Configuration Path: ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json

Tip: Open the Agent Panel → ... → Manage MCP Servers → View raw config to open this file directly. Or type /mcp in the prompt panel.

Option A: Remote / Streamable HTTP (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-License-Key": "your-license-key" }
    }
  }
}

Option B: Local / STDIO

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id",
        "CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "your-license-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

A lightweight terminal-based interface (TUI) for Antigravity agents. Install with:

curl -fsSL https://antigravity.google/cli/install.sh | bash

Configuration Path: ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/mcp_config.json

Tip: Run agy and type /mcp in the interactive session to manage servers from within the TUI.

Option A: Remote / Streamable HTTP (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-License-Key": "your-license-key" }
    }
  }
}

Option B: Local / STDIO

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "CLICKUP_TEAM_ID": "your-team-id",
        "CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "your-license-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Single Agent Configuration Path: ~/.hermes/config.yaml

Option A: Remote / Streamable HTTP

hermes mcp add clickup \
  --url https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp \
  --auth oauth && \
hermes config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-License-Key "your-license-key"

Option B: Local / STDIO

hermes mcp add clickup \
  --command npx \
  --args -y @taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server@latest \
  --env CLICKUP_API_KEY="your-api-key" \
        CLICKUP_TEAM_ID="your-team-id" \
        CLICKUP_MCP_LICENSE_KEY="your-license-key"

Run it: hermes

Multi-Agent Setup (Profiles + Personas)

Run a team of specialized agents on the same workspace (or separate). Each Hermes profile is an isolated agent with its own config and SOUL.md instructions. Configure each profile to match a persona (X-Persona) as needed. This will scope which ClickUp tools is in its context. Guide with examples:

1. Create the profiles

hermes profile create project_manager
hermes profile create task_worker
hermes profile create auditor

Optional: Use --clone to copy the existing config.yaml/.env/SOUL.md, or re-run the commands from above.

2. Set each profile's persona. The profile has the MCP config now, so just add the matching persona:

project_manager config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-Persona "project_manager"
task_worker     config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-Persona "task_worker"
auditor         config set mcp_servers.clickup.headers.X-Persona "auditor"

See → Advanced Configuration for more customized filtering options.

3. Give each agent its instructions in ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md (auditor shown):

# ClickUp Auditor

You are a read-only project auditor. Observe and report — never change anything.
- Summarize task status, overdue items, and blockers concisely.
- Surface risks and recommend actions, but never execute them.
- If asked to create or modify a task, decline and explain you are read-only.

Run any agent query by its profile (call by User or Agent):

project_manager chat -q "Break the Q3 launch into a list with subtasks and owners"
auditor         chat -q "Audit the Sprint board and report what's at risk"

-OR-

Run a TUI or Gateway called by User:

project_manager gateway start
auditor         chat

Other (Custom Agents, etc.) For most other MCP-compliant hosts:

Server URL: https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp
Auth Header: X-License-Key: your-license-key

1. Enable mcporter in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{ "skills": { "allowBundled": ["mcporter"] } }

2. Configure & Auth

# Add ClickUp as a remote server
mcporter config add ClickUp https://clickup-mcp.taazkareem.com/mcp --auth oauth --header "X-License-Key=your-license-key"

# Authenticate session
mcporter auth ClickUp

Pro Tip: Use Personas to define multiple isolated configurations (e.g., Auditor vs. Worker) in your agent's mcporter.json.

⚙️ Advanced Configuration

Filter Available Tools

💡 Pro Tip! Reduce context noise for the AI by limiting available tools. There are 3 ways to do this. You can filter by exact tool name, by tool category, by personas (presets), or a combination of all three.

Local (Environment Variable):

"ENABLED_TOOLS": "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3",
"ENABLED_CATEGORIES": "task,time_tracking,workspace"

-or- Hermes (YAML):

mcp_servers:
  clickup:
    env:
      ENABLED_TOOLS: "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3"
      ENABLED_CATEGORIES: "task,time_tracking,workspace"

-or- Remote (Header):

"X-Enabled-Tools": "tool_1,tool_2,tool_3",
"X-Enabled-Categories": "task,time_tracking,workspace"

Preset Configurations

Simplify setup by using Personas. You can set a persona via the CLICKUP_MCP_PERSONA environment variable or the X-Persona HTTP header to automatically filter a set of tools.

Multiple personas can be combined (e.g., "X-Persona": "task_worker,time_specialist").

Local (Environment Variable):

"CLICKUP_MCP_PERSONA": "task_worker"

-or- Remote (Header):

"X-Persona": "task_worker"

💡 Need to customize? To view the exact tools included in each preset or to build a custom list based on a persona, see the Personas Reference Guide.

🌍 Multi-Workspace Support

Simultaneously federate OAuth and multiple API keys to manage tasks across different authorized ClickUp accounts/workspaces in a single session. Easily move or duplicate tasks between workspaces, configure AI Agents for cross-workspace automation, and more.

Remote (Headers):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ClickUp": {

❓ FAQ

Why isn't this free anymore? Building reliable MCP integrations requires significant maintenance. Moving to a paid model allows us to support this as a product rather than a hobby, ensuring compatibility with API changes.

I have an old version. Will it stop working? Existing local clones will continue to work, but you will not receive updates, bug fixes, or support without a license.

How do I get support? Premium users get priority support. Please open an issue in this repository.
