ClickUp MCP Server (community, taazkareem) + Windsurf FAQ

Where is the Windsurf config file?

Windsurf reads MCP servers from ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Paste the ClickUp MCP Server (community, taazkareem) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is ClickUp MCP Server (community, taazkareem) safe to use with Windsurf?

Requires a personal ClickUp API token (CLICKUP_API_KEY) that has full access to your workspace, so keep it in env vars and treat it as a high-privilege secret. The community server is not maintained by ClickUp.

Is this server free or open source?

No longer. It moved from MIT to a proprietary, paid model — the LICENSE declares it the proprietary property of Talib Kareem and a license key is required (roughly $9/month, $59/year, or $89 lifetime).

How do I authenticate it?

For local stdio you set CLICKUP_API_KEY (a personal ClickUp API token from Settings → Apps) and CLICKUP_TEAM_ID (your workspace ID from the ClickUp URL), plus the paid license key.

How is this different from ClickUp's official MCP server?

This is a community/commercial project run locally over stdio with an API token and far more tools (including deletes). ClickUp's official server is hosted, OAuth-based, free, and omits deletion tools.
