ClickUp remote MCP connector

  • Updated

The ClickUp remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector in Optimizely Opal helps you manage your workspace hierarchy, automate task creation, and track productivity. Use these tools within your Opal workflows to connect AI-assisted collaboration with your ClickUp projects. Whether you are creating folder structures or assigning team members, these tools connect Opal's AI features to your ClickUp projects.

The ClickUp remote MCP is managed by ClickUp. See ClickUp's MCP Server in their documentation for information.

First, an Opal administrator must Connect the ClickUp Remote MCP to Opal. After adding the MCP server, individual Opal users and agent builders log in to ClickUp to access their information from Opal. Administrators need to add the ClickUp remote MCP only once.
