Why the gateway is here

It keeps the ClickUp authorization, tools, and activity behind the same managed route you use for your other supported systems.

Connection model

How to connect ClickUp.

The ClickUp connection belongs to your signed-in account. Any ClickUp-native resources stay inside that provider.

Read connection details

Before you start

  • An account with permission to use the ClickUp resources you intend to connect.

1. Connect ClickUp to ApexGenius

  1. Open ClickUp in Connections. Choose Connect, or Add connection when offered. Give the connection a name if prompted. If Gateway setup pending appears, contact ApexGenius support before continuing.
  2. Choose the account and review access. Sign in to ClickUp in the browser and choose the workspace to allow if ClickUp asks. ClickUp uses browser authorization; no API key is pasted into ApexGenius.
    The full ClickUp login page for the ClickUp MCP Service, with a red box around the login form.
    Connect opens ClickUp's login for the ClickUp MCP Service. Log in with SSO or your work email, then allow ApexGenius.Open full-size image (opens in a new tab)
  3. Review the connected account and resources. Confirm the connected ClickUp account and workspace. Open Tools to review the task, list, doc, chat and time tools. ClickUp limits MCP calls per day by plan.
  4. Check the connection. Use Test connection or Check again and read the reported status. Add an AI agent from the AI agents page, choose Read only for the first test, and try the question below.

Current governance

Know the account, tools, and result.

ApexGenius keeps the selected context and current tool surface visible, then records supported write activity for review.

Authorized context

ClickUp sets the boundary. The connection reaches what the signed-in ClickUp user can reach in the authorized workspace.

Current tool surface

Reads use a route that checks ClickUp's own read-only label before every call.

Reviewable activity

Writes run right away. If the owner set a tool to Ask me first (approval mode always), the call returns approval_required; a person approves it in ApexGenius and you retry with the returned approval_request_id.

ClickUp limits MCP calls by plan: without the Everything AI add-on, 50 calls per 24 hours on Free Forever and 300 on Unlimited and above. ClickUp's MCP server is in public beta.

Why a gateway

48 operations. Three tool definitions.

Your AI starts with three ApexGenius gateway tools. It discovers the ClickUp operations available to its authorization when a task needs them, then runs the selected operation through the gateway.

One saved provider connection

Connect ClickUp to ApexGenius, then authorize each AI client to use the saved connection with its own tool permissions.

Scoped per agent

Give one client read-only and the write operations never appear in its tool list at all.

Every call on the record

Which agent asked, what ran, and whether it succeeded, kept per connection for review.

Use ClickUp with your AI.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting ClickUp.

How do I connect ClickUp?
Open ClickUp in ApexGenius Connections, choose Connect, and sign in to ClickUp in the browser. ClickUp uses browser authorization, so no API key is pasted into ApexGenius.
What can my AI read in ClickUp?
What the signed-in ClickUp user can read in the authorized workspace: spaces, folders and lists, tasks and comments, docs, Chat channels, members and time entries.
Do changes wait for me?
Writes run right away. If the owner set a tool to Ask me first (approval mode always), the call returns approval_required; a person approves it in ApexGenius and you retry with the returned approval_request_id.
Can my AI delete a task?
ClickUp documents a Delete task tool, and it is labelled Destructive here. A deleted task is restored in ClickUp itself, not through ApexGenius. Comments and Chat messages notify people as soon as they are posted.
Does ClickUp limit MCP calls?
Yes. Without the Everything AI add-on, ClickUp allows 50 MCP calls per 24 hours on the Free Forever plan and 300 on Unlimited and above. With the add-on, ClickUp's Public API limits apply.
Can I take this setup to another AI agent?
Yes. Add ApexGenius to another compatible agent with the same ApexGenius account. It can use the ClickUp connection and read the ClickUp skill. Each agent needs its own setup and access choices.
