Pickle MCP Server

Pickle is a free, open-source AI ops manager for your team, packaged as an MCP server you run yourself. Give it your own ClickUp / Slack / Teams token, and your AI client (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Zed…) audits your workspace the way a sharp ops manager would: catching the work that quietly fell through. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting communication tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

01 · Install Pickle

before you install - you'll need

CLICKUP_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add adityaarsharma-pickle -- npx -y pickle-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adityaarsharma-pickle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "pickle-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
