We'd need full view/edit access to the task URL links via the MCP. Often we have additional context from other apps linked here, and the agent isn't able to view or manage these currently.

We'd like Claude to be able to filter ClickUp tasks by custom field values - for example: "Show me all tasks where Project Status is set to 'At Risk'."

This currently isn't possible: the ClickUp MCP's filter tool (clickup_filter_tasks) supports filtering by lists, folders, spaces, statuses, tags, assignees, and date ranges, but not by custom fields. The only workaround today is fetching tasks individually and checking their field values one by one, which doesn't scale.

The underlying ClickUp API already supports this via the custom_fields parameter on the "Get Filtered Team Tasks" endpoint, so the gap appears to be purely on the MCP side.

Custom fields are central to how we track project health, so server-side filtering would unlock a whole set of reporting use cases for us. Could support for this be added in the near future?

I am using the Claude MCP connector to connect to ClickUp. I miss the functionality to fetch attachments of tasks. Currently Claude cannot access the content of attachments.

Feature Request: Allow Re-Parenting Tasks via MCP

Currently, there is no way to change a task's parent relationship through the MCP. Once a task is created as a standalone task or subtask, its parent cannot be changed programmatically. The only available workaround is to create a new subtask on the target parent and delete the original — which loses comment history and any attached data.

This is a meaningful gap for AI agents working in ClickUp. A common pattern is creating a task during a session and later needing to nest it under a canonical parent task. Without re-parenting, agents must either guess the parent at creation time or destroy and recreate tasks.

Requested: A update_task parameter (e.g., parent) that allows changing or setting a task's parent task ID, or a dedicated reparent_task endpoint. Ideally this would also support promoting a subtask to a standalone task (setting parent to null).

Request 1: get_lists_in_folder

The problem: get_folder returns only the folder name and space — not the lists inside it. filter_tasks only surfaces lists that already contain tasks. Empty lists are completely invisible to me.

Real impact: My user has three lists in a Contacts folder. I could only see one of them. I routed a contact to the wrong list as a result.

The request: A get_lists_in_folder endpoint that returns all lists within a folder, including empty ones.

Without this, agents cannot discover workspace structure on their own. Every list ID has to be pre-loaded manually — which defeats the purpose of an intelligent agent.
