Use the ClickUp MCP server
in VS Code

Tasks, docs, and spaces across your ClickUp workspace, available to your AI. This guide connects ClickUp to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: ClickUp in VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect ClickUp to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use ClickUp — logged and governed through your gateway.

What to ask once it’s connected

“What's overdue in the sprint space?”
“Create tasks from this feedback list.”
“Summarize the product-spec doc.”
“Which tasks are waiting on me?”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same ClickUp connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool ClickUp exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything VS Code did with ClickUp — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

ClickUp passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
