Integrate ClickUp tasks into your Cursor editor

The `create_task` tool lets you log bugs or feature requests directly from your IDE. You can define names and descriptions without context switching. Your agent can now reference these tasks while writing code. It keeps your documentation and your implementation in lockstep.

Manage ClickUp lists within Cursor

Run `list_workspaces` and `list_spaces` to map out where your project lives. It makes finding the right place to log a ticket trivial. Once you find your target, `list_tasks` pulls in the current backlog. You can see exactly what's on your plate while you finish that PR.

Update ClickUp status directly from Cursor

Use `update_task` to push status changes to your board as you finish your code. It closes the loop on your development cycle. If a task is no longer relevant, `delete_task` clears it out. Your project board stays clean without you ever opening a browser.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the ClickUp MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
