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).

# 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://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))
EOFBase 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](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://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

}Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.
Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'

print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFSpecifying 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"]}')

print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFIf omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.
ClickUp Hierarchy
ClickUp organizes data in a hierarchy:
Note: In the API, Workspaces are referred to as "teams".

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')

EOFResponses 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`.

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_KEY2. 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))
EOFTroubleshooting: Invalid App Name
1. Ensure your URL path starts with `clickup`. For example:
