Mondaycom

You can connect AI agents to monday.com through a dedicated MCP server that provides secure access to your data and actions, enabling reliable operation within real workflows while leveraging monday.com APIs and tools.

How to use

Use the MCP server to let your AI assistants interact with monday.com data and perform actions such as creating items, updating boards, and querying board items. You can connect via a hosted MCP service for instant setup or run a local MCP server for customization and offline development. When using a client, you choose an MCP server URL or a local runtime, then authenticate with your monday.com API token to access supported tools and features.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation:

• Node.js v20+ is required

• NPM v5.2.0+ is required

• Obtain a personal access token from monday.com

Recommended steps to start using the MCP locally or with a client:

# Local MCP with dynamic API tools enabled
MONDAY_TOKEN=your_monday_api_token npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest --enable-dynamic-api-tools true

Configuration and usage notes

Hosted MCP is the fastest and most robust option for connecting to monday.com. It handles infrastructure, updates, security, and uptime, so you can focus on building AI workflows.

If you prefer to run MCP locally or customize the server, you can run the MCP server using the provided runtime for local development. Be sure to set your monday.com API token in the environment.

Examples of how to connect from a client: you can configure your MCP client to point to either the hosted MCP URL or your local MCP runtime, and then authenticate with your monday.com token to access tools and capabilities.

Security, tokens and access control

Authenticate with a monday.com API token and consider enabling read-only mode if you only need to retrieve data. Regularly rotate API tokens and limit workspace access to reduce risk.

Example setup for a client like Cursor

Add the hosted MCP server to your MCP settings in Cursor with this configuration snippet.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monday-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.monday.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing your integration

Ask your assistant questions such as “What items exist in board 123?” or “Can you create a board to manage my project?” to verify that it can interact with your monday.com data and perform actions through the MCP server.

Notes on advanced usage

Dynamic API Tools are in beta and disabled by default. Enable them to grant your AI agents full GraphQL API access when needed, or use the exclusive mode to work solely with Dynamic API Tools for advanced scenarios.
