What is clickup-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

A set of project instructions for a Python server that connects AI assistants to ClickUp, a task and project-management service. It describes the server structure, development setup, API resources, and MCP tools.

Developing or maintaining ClickUp API access, MCP tools for teams and tasks, the FastAPI server, and webhook handling.

It gives an agent the repository-specific rules and structure needed to change or run the ClickUp integration correctly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked

Security

Grade A, and why

clickup-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md — ClickUp MCP Server

This file provides guidance for AI assistants working in this repository.

Project Overview

clickup-mcp-server (v0.2.0) is a Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants standardized access to the ClickUp API. It exposes ClickUp resources (Teams, Spaces, Folders, Lists, Tasks) as MCP tools, runs as a FastAPI/Uvicorn web server, and handles incoming ClickUp webhook events.

Language: Python 3.13+
Package manager: uv
Build backend: hatchling
PyPI package: clickup-mcp-server

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
