name: clickup description: | 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). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: π§ requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY
ClickUp
Access the ClickUp API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, lists, folders, spaces, workspaces, users, and webhooks for work management.
Quick Start
# List workspaces (teams)
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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://api.maton.ai/clickup/{native-api-path}
Maton 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:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Getting Your API Key
1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai 2. Go to maton.ai/settings 3. Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your ClickUp OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'clickup'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:
{
"connection": {
"connection_id": "{connection_id}",
"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
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.
ClickUp Hierarchy
ClickUp organizes data in a hierarchy:
Note: In the API, Workspaces are referred to as "teams".

Pagination
ClickUp uses page-based pagination. Use the page parameter (0-indexed):
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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
const response = await fetch(
'https://api.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task',
{
headers: {
'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}
}
}
);
const data = await response.json();
Python
import os
import requestsresponse = requests.get(
'https://api.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task',
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()
Notes
curl -g when URLs contain brackets (statuses[], assignees[], list_ids[]) to disable glob parsingjq 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:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:
https://api.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/teamhttps://api.maton.ai/api/v2/teamResources
π‘ Examples
# List workspaces (teams)
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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
