You choose what Grok Bot can use

When you approve Grok Bot, pick Full access, Read only, or Custom. Read only allows the Read operations and nothing else. Custom picks apps and tools one by one.

Limits in ClickUp

  • · ClickUp sets the boundary. The connection reaches what the signed-in ClickUp user can reach in the authorized workspace.
  • · Reads use a route that checks ClickUp's own read-only label before every call.
  • · Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.
  • · 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.
  • · Disconnecting stops future gateway access. It does not undo a task change, comment, chat message or deletion that already ran.

Questions people ask first

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?

Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

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.
