Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clickup-mcp-server-nazruden": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-clickup-mcp-server-nazruden"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop
