Does Codex support the Clickup MCP server?

Yes. Codex connects to the Clickup MCP server through one CLI command, pointed at your Metorial URL. You need the Codex CLI, IDE extension or ChatGPT desktop app.

Do I need an API key to connect Clickup to Codex?

No. You sign in to Clickup once through Metorial, and Codex uses that connection. No API keys go into Codex's settings.

Which Clickup tools can Codex use?

All 47 Clickup tools your team allows, such as Get Task, Create Folder, Get Spaces. Admins can narrow that list per team.

Can I control which teammates use Clickup in Codex?

Yes. Role-based access control decides who can use Clickup and which of its tools appear in Codex, and every call is logged with the person's identity.

What if Codex doesn't show Clickup tools?

Codex can connect without credentials and then see nothing. Run codex mcp login metorial to complete the OAuth sign-in.

The Codex CLI, IDE extension and ChatGPT desktop app share this config.
```
codex mcp add metorial --url <your-magic-mcp-url>
codex mcp login metorial
```
3. Check the connection
Type /mcp in Codex to see Metorial and its Clickup tools.

Once Clickup is enabled in Metorial, teammates sign in with SSO and get the same connection in Codex, with only the tools their role allows.
