ClickUp

SkillSecurity

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).

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the ClickUp skill

The instructions your AI receives, as published by craftos-dev/craftbot in skills/clickup-api/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

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://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:

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://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

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

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

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:

{
  "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

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:

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) → SpaceFolderListTask

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://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

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

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

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

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

  1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
  1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
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
