  ClickUp API integration with managed OAuth. Access tasks, lists, folders, spaces, workspaces, users, and manage webhooks. Use this skill when users want to manage work items, track projects, or integrate with ClickUp workflows. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# ClickUp

Access the ClickUp API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, lists, folders, spaces, workspaces, users, and webhooks for work management.

## Quick Start

```bash
# List workspaces (teams)
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/{native-api-path}
```

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual ClickUp API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.clickup.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your ClickUp OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=clickup&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Create Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'clickup'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Get Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "clickup",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple ClickUp connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

## ClickUp Hierarchy

ClickUp organizes data in a hierarchy:
- **Workspace** (team) → **Space** → **Folder** → **List** → **Task**

Note: In the API, Workspaces are referred to as "teams".

    "secret": "..."
  }
}
```

PUT /clickup/api/v2/webhook/{webhook_id}
```

#### Delete a Webhook

```bash
DELETE /clickup/api/v2/webhook/{webhook_id}
```

## Pagination

ClickUp uses page-based pagination. Use the `page` parameter (0-indexed):

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task?page=0')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

Responses are limited to 100 tasks per page. The response includes a `last_page` boolean field. Continue incrementing the page number until `last_page` is `true`.

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()
```

## Notes

- Task IDs are strings
- Timestamps are Unix milliseconds
- Priority values: 1=urgent, 2=high, 3=normal, 4=low, null=none
- Workspaces are called "teams" in the API
- Status values must match the exact status names configured in the list
- Responses are limited to 100 items per page
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`statuses[]`, `assignees[]`, `list_ids[]`) to disable glob parsing
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Bad request or missing ClickUp connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 403 | Forbidden - insufficient permissions |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from ClickUp API |

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `clickup`. For example:

- Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team`
- Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/api/v2/team`
