ClickUp Install & Auth

Overview

Configure ClickUp API v2 authentication. ClickUp supports two auth methods: Personal API Tokens (for personal/server-side use) and OAuth 2.0 (for multi-user apps). There is no official SDK -- use direct HTTP calls to https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/.

Prerequisites

• ClickUp account (any plan: Free Forever, Unlimited, Business, Business Plus, Enterprise)
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
• For OAuth 2.0: registered app in ClickUp's integrations dashboard

Authentication Methods

Method 1: Personal API Token (Recommended for Server-Side)

Generate at: ClickUp Settings > Apps > API Token

Personal tokens never expire and are tied to your ClickUp user account.
