SEE HOW AUTH WORKS

Users authorize ClickUp once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.

Authorize

Your user connects

ClickUp

once. We tie it to their identity and the meetings they approved — no shared bot account, no org-wide access

Who:

user ‘A’

when:

Once per user

access:

Limited to user

Store

Their

ClickUp

token lives in a vault scoped to them. User A's meetings are never reachable by an agent acting for user B, even on the same connection

vault:

encrypted

scope:

per-user

tokens:

auto-refreshed

Resolve

When your agent calls a

ClickUp

tool, we fetch the right token server-side. It never touches your agent, never appears in the LLM context, never shows up in your logs

speed:

~40ms

check:

before every call

seen by:

nobody

Audit

Every

ClickUp

tool call is logged — who triggered it, which meeting was fetched, what came back. 90 days of history, tied to the user who authorized it

history:

90 days

export:

SIEM-ready

logged:

every call

Test other agents

Same per-user auth pattern across other project management agents and MCP connectors. Working code, live demos, fork what fits.

ENGINEERING

DevOps assistant agent

Triage GitHub incidents, open Linear tickets, and notify the on-call channel in Slack with context already attached.

ENGINEERING

Engineering standup agent

Aggregate GitHub and GitLab activity, link to Jira, and post a daily standup digest to Slack. No async updates.

Why Scalekit

Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes

Other connector libraries treat auth as a demo afterthought. Scalekit starts with user identity, scope enforcement, and audit.

01.

Task updates lose workspace attribution

A shared ClickUp token looks fine in a demo. In production, every task update, list write, and space change logs as the integration. Task ownership breaks. Workspace attribution breaks. Scalekit resolves the actual user's token so every ClickUp action is attributed to the right person.

// shared token
 audit → bot_service_account
 user_filter → broken

 // scalekit
 audit → user_abc
 scope → enforced ✓

02.

Authentication is not authorization

03.

Multi-tenancy is architectural

04.

ClickUp today. Asana, Jira, Linear tomorrow.

“Our agents act across Salesforce, Gong, Google Drive, and more, on behalf of every customer. Scalekit behind the scenes meant we can keep adding tools without ever rebuilding how credentials or tool calling work.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the agent access ClickUp as the user or as a shared key?

As the user. Each workspace member authorizes once and Scalekit resolves their credential at request time. Audit logs attribute every action to that user, not a shared service account.

Where is the ClickUp oauth 2.0 stored?

Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do in ClickUp?

What happens when a user revokes ClickUp access?

Does the agent respect ClickUp workspace and space permissions?
