Without the Everything AI add-on, MCP calls are capped at 100 to 25,000 per rolling 24 hours by plan. No API changelog, deprecation policy, official SDK or SLA was found.\n\n**Redmine.** Redmine's REST API covers issues, projects, time entries and 20 other resources, and versions 6.1 and later add OAuth 2 with one scope per permission. The software is free under the GPL. No OpenAPI document exists, most errors return a bare status code, and 24 security advisories were published in twelve months, two rated critical.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ClickUp\n\n1. Connect to https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. API keys and REST OAuth tokens are refused on the MCP server\n2. Pass `workspace_id` on every MCP call when the user belongs to more than one Workspace, as ClickUp's own skills instruct\n3. Budget MCP calls. Each tool call counts against the rolling 24-hour cap, and `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` returns `retryAfter`\n4. On the REST API read `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset`, and page Get Tasks with `page` at 100 tasks a page\n5. Treat `team_id` in API v2 as the Workspace ID, and send dates as Unix milliseconds\n\n### Redmine\n\n1. Ask an administrator to tick Enable REST API under Administration, Settings, API. It is off by default and every call fails until then\n2. Send the key in the `X-Redmine-API-Key` header, never as the `key` query parameter, and set `Content-Type: application/json` on every POST and PUT\n3. Add `status_id=*` to issue lists. The default returns open issues only, 25 a page with a maximum of 100\n4. Comment on an issue by sending `notes` in a PUT to `/issues/\u003cid\u003e.json`. There is no separate comment endpoint\n5. A DELETE on a project through the API skips the confirmation the web page asks for, so run the agent as a non-administrator user\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ClickUp or Redmine?\n\nClickUp scores 60.9 (C) on agent readiness against Redmine's 50.2 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Redmine leads on payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do ClickUp and Redmine need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call ClickUp and Redmine without installing anything?\n\nClickUp has a hosted endpoint at https://api.clickup.com. No hosted endpoint is listed for Redmine.\n\n### Are ClickUp and Redmine open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for ClickUp. Redmine is open source (GPL-2.0-or-later).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/clickup-vs-redmine.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/clickup-vs-redmine.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"clickup\", \"b\": \"redmine\"}`.
