Common questions

Is Pickle safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 35 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

🥒 Pickle: the free AI ops manager for ClickUp, Slack & Teams

ClickUp Brain reads your tasks. Slack AI reads your messages. Both are paid add-ons, and each only sees its own app.

Pickle is a free AI ops manager that runs on your own machine, reads across all three, and tells you what slipped through: stale tasks, dropped promises, decisions buried in a DM.

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.

No account. No hosted server. No key from us. No telemetry. Pickle adds no middleman. It talks only to *your* tools, with *your* token. Nothing is sent to us, because there's no "us" to send it to.

⭐ Pickle is free and will stay free. There is no paid tier. If you think workspace tools should run on your own machine, star the repo. Stars are the only way it gets found.

Why this is different

	ClickUp Brain	Slack AI	Pickle
Sees across your tools	❌ ClickUp only	❌ Slack only	✅ ClickUp + Slack + Teams
Where your data flows	Their cloud	Their cloud	Only to your own tools, with your token
A third party holds your token	Yes	Yes	No, it stays in your local config
Cost	Paid add-on	~$10/user/mo	Free · MIT · open source
You can read every line	❌	❌	✅ it's all right here

Honest version of the privacy claim: Pickle *does* read your ClickUp/Slack/Teams. That's the job. But it reads them directly, from your machine, with your token, and sends nothing to any Pickle server. Verify it yourself. The code is in server-remote/server.mjs, and there is no analytics, no beacon, no phone-home.

Install: one command

Guided: it asks which tools you use, points you to where each token lives, and writes your MCP config for you.

curl -fsSL https://pickle.adityaarsharma.com/install.sh | bash

Or add it to your MCP client yourself (via npm):

"mcpServers": { "pickle": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "pickle-mcp"], "env": { "CLICKUP_API_KEY": "pk_your_own_token" } } } }

Add SLACK_TOKEN (xoxp-…) and/or TEAMS_TOKEN to the same env block to switch on the cross-tool patterns. Restart your client. npx runs it locally on your machine, no global install, no clone.

The installer asks which tools you use (ClickUp / Slack / Teams), takes the token *you already have* for each, and writes the MCP config for your client automatically. No hand-editing, no key from us.

Prefer to do it by hand? See docs/manual-install.md. The only token you ever provide is your own platform token (e.g. ClickUp pk_… from Settings → Apps).

Then just ask your AI:

*"Pickle, run my morning audit: scan my ClickUp from the last 7 days and show me the 3 worst things I missed, worst first."*

What it catches

Stale in-progress: "doing" for days, zero activity
Dropped promises: "I'll do X by Friday" with no follow-through
Decisions buried in DMs: a call made in a thread that never became a task
Delegations nobody chased: you asked, it never landed, everyone forgot
Standup copy-paste, zombie tasks, empty-description work, blocker rot… full list in docs/patterns.md

Works with

Claude Code · Claude Desktop · Cursor · Codex · Cline · Continue · Zed · any MCP host. The reasoning runs in your model. Pickle just fetches and structures the data. Optional Claude Code skills add /pickle-* slash commands as a convenience layer.

Free, and what I ask instead of money

Pickle has no paid tier and never will. Instead:

⭐ Star the repo if it caught even one thing worth fixing. A free tool has no ad budget, so a star is genuinely how the next person finds it.
📮 [Get update notes + workspace-AI tips](https://adityaarsharma.com): occasional, practical notes on using AI in real team workflows (the same patterns Pickle runs). Reply anytime with a suggestion or a pattern you want added. I read every one.

🧭 Want your team to actually use AI well?

Pickle is what I use to keep my own team honest. If you're rolling AI into how your company works (onboarding people onto it, wiring it into real workflows, choosing which LLM for what), [reach out to me](https://adityaarsharma.com/?src=pickle-readme). I help teams go from "we bought AI licenses" to "AI is actually in our workflow," with real use-cases instead of hype.

FAQ

Is Pickle really free? Yes. MIT-licensed, no paid tier, no account, no credit card. I built it in the open; a ⭐ is the only thing I ask.

Do I need a Pickle account or an API key from you? No. Pickle issues nothing. The only token you provide is your *own* ClickUp / Slack / Teams token, and it lives in your local MCP config.

Does my data get sent to you or to any cloud? No middleman. Pickle runs on your machine and talks only to *your* tools (ClickUp / Slack / Microsoft Graph) using *your* token. There is no Pickle server, no telemetry, no phone-home. Pickle does read your ClickUp/Slack/Teams (that's the job), but it sends nothing to us. Verify it in server-remote/server.mjs.

Which AI clients does it work with? Any MCP-compatible host: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Continue, Zed, and more. The reasoning runs in *your* model.

What should I ask Pickle first? After installing, restart your AI client and paste: *"Pickle, run my morning audit: scan my ClickUp from the last 7 days and show me the 3 worst things I missed, worst first."* You get a ranked, punchy result instead of a data dump, so you feel the value on the first run.

How is this different from ClickUp Brain or Slack AI? Those are cloud add-ons that each see only their own tool and send your data to their servers. Pickle runs locally, reads *across* ClickUp + Slack + Teams, and keeps your token on your machine. Different axis: privacy + cross-tool, not "more features."

Is it safe to give it my token? The token stays in your local config file (chmod 600), and the code is open. Read it before you connect. Nothing is transmitted anywhere except the platform's own API.

Will Pickle change or delete anything in my tools? The audit itself is read-only — it only reads and reports. Pickle *can* create a reminder, drop a comment, or make a task if you explicitly ask it to (for example "remind me about XYZ-184"), because the server also exposes write tools for that. If you want a hard, code-level guarantee that nothing can be written or deleted no matter what a model asks, set PICKLE_READONLY=1 in the env block — it blocks every mutating tool at the server. Details in docs/security.md. You stay in control.

Do I need Slack and Teams too, or is ClickUp enough? ClickUp alone is a great start. Slack/Teams unlock the cross-tool patterns (decisions-in-DMs, ghost mode) because those need chat data.

Can it audit GitHub or other tools? Not yet. A GitHub audit (stale PRs, dropped reviews) is a planned/welcome contribution.

Is there a hosted version? No. Pickle is local by design. If you want your team to adopt AI tools like this well, reach out. That's the consulting I do.

Contributing

Issues and PRs welcome: new patterns, new connectors (a GitHub audit for stale PRs is a great first one), better client configs.
