Add get_inbox_notifications tool to MCP
Thibaut
The ClickUp MCP currently has no way to retrieve inbox notifications. The inbox is a core part of how users manage what needs their attention in ClickUp, but it is entirely inaccessible to AI agents and automations built on the MCP.
Current behaviour:
There is no MCP tool that returns inbox notifications. The only workaround is search_reminders, which returns a different and much narrower set of items.
Desired behaviour:
A get_inbox_notifications tool that returns the authenticated user's inbox, with at minimum:
Notification content and type
Source (task, chat message, mention, assignment, etc.)
Link to the source item
Timestamp
Read/unread state
Why this matters:
The inbox is where ClickUp surfaces everything that needs a user's attention. Without MCP access to it, any AI agent trying to act as a personal assistant or comms triage layer has a critical blind spot. Exposing the inbox via MCP would make ClickUp a first-class data source for AI-powered productivity workflows.

Thanks for the feedback Thibaut! This is planned for the future hopefully, as we continue to improve both our API and our MCP 😎
