ClickUp MCP Server with Supergateway

This integration runs the ClickUp MCP server through Supergateway, exposing it as an SSE endpoint that can be used by n8n nodes or other clients.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• Docker and Docker Compose (for containerized deployment)
• ClickUp API key and Team ID

Local Development

Running with Node.js

1. Install dependencies: bash npm install -g supergateway @taazkareem/clickup-mcp-server

2. Set environment variables: bash export CLICKUP_API_KEY=pk_94547006_D8DFEXXFDOX7RUOJBBPLM2BSVRFXPZE9 export CLICKUP_TEAM_ID=2357720

3. Run the integration script: bash ./run-clickup-mcp.sh

4. Customize configuration (optional): bash ./run-clickup-mcp.sh --port 9000 --base-url http://example.com --cors "http://localhost:8080,http://localhost:3000"

Running with Docker Compose

1. Create a .env file based on .env.example: bash cp .env.example .env

2. Edit the .env file with your ClickUp API key and Team ID.

3. Start the container: bash docker-compose up -d

4. View logs: bash docker-compose logs -f

Deployment to Railway

1. Create a new project on Railway.

2. Connect your GitHub repository or use the Railway CLI to deploy.

3. Set the following environment variables in Railway:

4. CLICKUP_API_KEY: Your ClickUp API key
5. CLICKUP_TEAM_ID: Your ClickUp Team ID
6. PORT: 8000 (or your preferred port)
7. BASE_URL: Your Railway app URL (e.g., https://your-app-name.up.railway.app)
8. SSE_PATH: /sse (or your preferred path)
9. MESSAGE_PATH: /message (or your preferred path)
10. LOG_LEVEL: info (or debug for more verbose logging)
11. DOCUMENT_SUPPORT: false (or true if needed)

12. CORS_ORIGINS: * (or a comma-separated list of allowed origins)

13. Deploy the application.

Usage with n8n

1. In n8n, add a new "MCP" node.

2. Configure the node with the following settings:

3. Server URL: Your Railway app URL + SSE path (e.g., https://your-app-name.up.railway.app/sse)

4. Message Path: Your message path (e.g., /message)

5. Select the desired ClickUp tool from the available tools.

6. Configure the tool parameters as needed.

7. Connect the node to your workflow.

API Endpoints

• SSE Endpoint: {BASE_URL}{SSE_PATH} (e.g., http://localhost:8000/sse)
• Method: GET

• Description: Subscribe to server-sent events

• Message Endpoint: {BASE_URL}{MESSAGE_PATH} (e.g., http://localhost:8000/message)

• Method: POST
• Description: Send messages to the server
• Content-Type: application/json

• Body: JSON-RPC 2.0 formatted message

• Healthcheck Endpoint: {BASE_URL}/healthz (e.g., http://localhost:8000/healthz)

• Method: GET
• Description: Check if the service is running correctly
• Response: "ok" if the service is healthy

Troubleshooting

• Connection Issues: Ensure your firewall allows connections to the specified port.
• Authentication Errors: Verify your ClickUp API key and Team ID are correct.
• CORS Errors: Configure the CORS_ORIGINS environment variable to include your client's origin.
