πŸ“– About This Skill


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: 🧠 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:

  • Workspace (team) β†’ Space β†’ Folder β†’ List β†’ Task
  • Note: In the API, Workspaces are referred to as "teams".

    Security & Permissions

  • Access is scoped to tasks, lists, folders, spaces, workspaces, users, and manage webhooks within the connected ClickUp account.
  • All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
  • API Reference

    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 requests

    response = 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

  • 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:

    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:

  • Correct: https://api.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team
  • Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/api/v2/team
  • Resources

  • ClickUp API Overview
  • Get Tasks
  • Create Task
  • Update Task
  • Delete Task
  • Get Spaces
  • Get Lists
  • Create Webhook
  • Custom Fields
  • Rate Limits
  • LLM Reference
  • Maton Community
  • Maton Support
  • πŸ’‘ 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
    

    πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • 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.
