The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a secure, standardized framework that lets external AI agents interact with ClickUp Workspace data—like tasks, lists, folders, and docs—using natural language. MCP helps users, especially developers, automate workflows, connect third-party AI tools, and enable agentic AI features in their preferred apps, all while keeping security and user control tight.
