ClickUp Skill

Interact with ClickUp's REST API for task management, reporting, and workflow automation.

Configuration

Before using this skill, ensure the following are configured:

• API Token: CLICKUP_API_KEY
• Team/Workspace ID: CLICKUP_TEAM_ID
• Task Assignee ID: CLICKUP_ASSIGNEE_ID

Check if they are available as environment variables:

echo $CLICKUP_API_KEY

echo $CLICKUP_ASSIGNEE_ID

If not available, export them as environment variables.

export CLICKUP_API_KEY={value}
export CLICKUP_TEAM_ID={value}
export CLICKUP_ASSIGNEE_ID={value}

# Get open tasks due or overdue by a given end time
./scripts/clickup-query.sh tasks --end "2026-03-28 17:00"

# Get task counts for open tasks due or overdue by a given end time
./scripts/clickup-query.sh task-count --end "2026-03-28 17:00"

# Get tasks completed during a time window
./scripts/clickup-query.sh completed-tasks --start "2026-03-24" --end "2026-03-28 17:00"

# Get spaces under the team 
./scripts/clickup-query.sh spaces

# Get lists under a space_id
./scripts/clickup-query.sh lists 123456

# Create a task with given title and due date, assign to CLICKUP_ASSIGNEE_ID, under a list_id 
./scripts/clickup-query.sh create-task {list_id} "Follow up with customer" "2026-03-28 17:00"
