OAUTH 2.0

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project Management

Every task, list, and space your team manages lives in ClickUp. ClickUp MCP gives your agent authenticated access to projects scoped to the user who authorized it.

  • Acts as the user: Access and write actions stay tied to the ClickUp account that authorized the agent.
  • Credentials stay vaulted: AES-256, resolved at request time, never in LLM context.
  • Scoped before every call: User permissions enforced. 90-day audit trail.

SEE HOW AUTH WORKS
Users authorize ClickUp once. Their credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.
1
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
2
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
3
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
4
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

Pulls commits from GitHub and GitLab, tracks issue movement in Jira, and posts a per-engineer standup brief to Slack. Each engineer's activity is read on their own delegated OAuth.

DevOps assistant agent
Polls GitHub for failing checks and stale PRs, opens Linear issues for the ones that need work, and posts a daily digest to Slack. It acts as the engineer, not a shared service account.

Slack triage
Polls Slack for new messages, classifies bugs and support requests with a LangGraph router, files GitHub issues or Zendesk tickets, and confirms in the thread.
People Ops and HR teams
Performance review collector
Collects review feedback from Airtable and Google Forms scoped to each manager's direct reports, writes per-employee summaries to Notion, and DMs the manager a Slack digest.

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 ✓

“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.”

FAQs
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?
In Scalekit's managed AES-256 token vault, namespaced per tenant. Refresh is automatic. Revocation is a single dashboard action. Tokens never appear in prompts, logs, or LLM context.

Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do in ClickUp?
Yes. Pass a tool name filter to listScopedTools so the project management agent only sees the subset you authorize. Pre-API-call scope checks block out-of-policy actions before the request reaches ClickUp.

What happens when a user revokes ClickUp access?
The connection is invalidated on the next tool call. Subsequent requests for that user fail closed with a clear error. Other users in the tenant remain unaffected. The event is logged for audit.

Does the agent respect ClickUp workspace and space permissions?
Yes. Lists, folders, and spaces inherit the authorizing user's role. Guest access, member scope, and private space visibility all apply. The agent cannot read or write what the user cannot.
