Safety check

  • Pass

    Publisher verified

    Endpoint on clickup.com, described in ClickUp's own blog guide; Anthropic's directory lists the connector as made by ClickUp with the same URL.

  • Pass

    Auth model

    OAuth only (custom clients need OAuth 2.1 with PKCE); API keys and personal access tokens are not supported. Access follows the authorizing user's permissions and the Workspaces they select.

  • Flag

    Write and delete access

    Create, update and bulk-update task tools and a delete-task tool are exposed with no documented read-only mode. ClickUp says there is no MCP way to delete Lists, Folders, Docs or comments, and that delete-task confirms the task first.

  • Unknown

    Tool-description injection scan

    Server is closed source; only tool names (directory page) and ClickUp's blog guide were reviewed (a Jev screen of the blog found nothing addressed to an AI), not live tool descriptions.

  • Unknown

    Repo maintenance

    Hosted by ClickUp; no public server repository found.
