MCP connector: support named task relationship types via API
Vágner Levente
Hi ClickUp team, I've been using the ClickUp MCP connector with an AI assistant to automate task management workflows. One limitation I've run into is that the connector doesn't support named task relationships (e.g. custom relationship types like "Client", "Blocking", etc.). Currently, the
add_task_link
tool only creates a generic bidirectional link — there's no way to specify the relationship type through the MCP API. This means any named relationships have to be set manually in the UI, which breaks the automation. It would be very helpful if the MCP connector exposed the relationship type parameter when linking tasks, so tools like AI assistants can create properly typed relationships programmatically.
