Subject: ClickUp MCP clickup-create-task incorrectly requires/sends parent

Hi Pipedream Support,

I’m using the ClickUp MCP tool clickup-create-task.

In ClickUp’s API (POST /api/v2/list/{list_id}/task), parent is optional (only needed for subtasks) and should be omitted or null.

However, the MCP schema forces parent as a string and when left empty it sends "parent": "", which ClickUp rejects with 400: {"err":"Missing parent","ECODE":"ITEM_170"}.

Could you please update the tool to make parent optional and/or omit it when not set (and not send empty string)?

Thanks.
