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.

🧪

Rate limits

ClickUp's MCP Server has rate limits that depend on two criteria:

1. If your Workspace has purchased the Everything AI add-on.
2. Your Workspace plan.

📘

Note:

• MCP usage and rate limits are subject to the terms of our fair use policy.
• Future restrictions may apply to ClickUp MCP features.
• ClickUp MCP usage and rate limits may change as we assess usage and costs.

With the Everything AI add-on

If your Workspace has purchased the Everything AI add-on, your MCP rate limits are the same as the rate limits for our Public API which vary by plan.

Without the Everything AI add-on

If your Workspace has not purchased the Everything AI add-on, your MCP usage is subject to the following rate limits by plan:

• Free Forever Plan: 50 calls per 24 hours.
• Unlimited Plan and above: 300 calls per 24 hours.

Rolling 24 hour rate limits

The rolling 24 hour rate limits begins with your first request.

For example, starting on Monday at 1pm, you use the MCP to send 200 requests.

On Tuesday, at 11am, you send another 100 requests.

You will be rate limited and unable to send additional requests via MCP until 1pm on Tuesday.

Attempting to send requests while rate limited does not extend the 24 hour limit.

Rate limits cannot be reset.
