Inject ClickUp tasks into Cursor

Feed live ticket data into your coding session by calling `get_task_details`. Cursor reads the output, giving you real context for the code you are writing. You can even create new tasks via `create_new_task` when you identify a bug while working. It keeps your issue tracker in sync with your actual development progress.

Explore ClickUp structures in Cursor

Run `list_workspace_spaces` to see how your team organizes their development projects. It helps the AI understand the scope of your current sprint. Use `list_space_lists` to find the exact list you need to reference. This keeps your project context accurate during deep coding sessions.

Identify active ClickUp users

Call `get_my_clickup_profile` to make sure your agent is operating under the correct user account. It avoids permission errors when you push updates. Check what you have access to with `list_clickup_workspaces`. It ensures the AI knows exactly which boards are available for your current task.

Prerequisites

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.

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent ClickUp transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the ClickUp tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
