# ClickUp's MCP Server

Learn about ClickUp's MCP Server so you can use your AI assistant with ClickUp!

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.

## With the Everything AI add-on

If your Workspace has purchased the [Everything AI add-on](https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6303101719831-Purchase-or-remove-ClickUp-add-ons), your MCP rate limits are the same as the [rate limits](https://developer.clickup.com/docs/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 begin with your first request.

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

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

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

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

Rate limits cannot be reset.
