📦 What's Inside
💻 monday API MCP Server
The @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp package provides a plug-and-play server implementation for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI agents to interact with the monday.com API without needing to build complex integrations.
The @mondaydotcomorg/agent-toolkit package provides a powerful set of tools and utilities for building AI agents that interact with the monday.com API, supporting both OpenAI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations.
🚀 Quick Start: Hosted MCP (Recommended)
The fastest, most robust, and reliable way to connect to monday.com. Our hosted MCP service handles all the infrastructure for you - no local setup, automatic updates, and improved performance.
📚 Integration Guides
Get started with your favorite AI platform:
Quick Setup with Hosted MCP
For Cursor
Simply add this to your MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"monday-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.monday.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Why Use the Hosted MCP?
- ✅ No local installation - Works immediately without setup
- ✅ Automatic updates - Always get the latest features
- ✅ Better performance - Optimized infrastructure
- ✅ OAuth authentication - Secure token management
- ✅ Workspace controls - Limit access to specific workspaces
- ✅ Higher reliability - Enterprise-grade uptime
When to Use This Repository Instead
You might want to run the MCP locally or use the agent toolkit if you need to:
- 🔧 Customize the MCP server - Modify the source code for specific needs
- 🛠️ Build custom agents - Use the agent toolkit for OpenAI or custom implementations
- 🔌 Work offline - Develop without internet connectivity
- 🧪 Contribute to development - Help improve the MCP server or toolkit
🏁 Local Installation Guide
If you don't already have a monday.com account:
- Go to monday.com and sign up for an account
- Create your first workspace and board to get started
Step 2: Generate an API Token
To interact with monday.com's API, you'll need an API token:
- Log in to your monday.com account
- Click on your avatar in the bottom-left corner
- Select "Developers"
- Click "My access tokens" on the left menu
- Copy your personal access token
For Claude Desktop
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to Settings → MCP Servers
- Add a new server with this configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"monday-api-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"MONDAY_TOKEN": "your_monday_api_token"
}
}
}
}
For Gemini CLI
To get started with Gemini CLI, you can use the
official Gemini CLI extension for
monday.com.
The Gemini CLI extension bundles the monday.com MCP server with a context file
and custom commands that teaches Gemini how to use the monday.com tools for
powerful workflows.
To install the extension run the following command in your terminal:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/mondaycom/mcp
If you prefer to use the MCP server directly without the extension, you can add
it with this command:
gemini mcp add -t http monday https://mcp.monday.com/mcp
Once you have either the extension installed or the MCP server added, start
Gemini CLI by running:
Then, authenticate with your monday.com account by running the following
command inside Gemini CLI:
This will open a browser window to complete the authentication process.
After authenticating, all the monday.com tools and custom commands will
be available.
A few custom command to try out for the extension:
/monday:create-item create item in board 123 for "Update the UI"/monday:sprint-summary sprint summary for sprint 853
For Cursor or Other MCP Clients (Local Setup)
Add to your settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"monday-api-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"MONDAY_TOKEN": "your_monday_api_token"
}
}
}
}
Step 5: Test Your Integration
-
Ask Claude or your AI assistant a question like:
- "What items do I have in board 123?"
- "Can you create a board to manage my project?"
-
Your assistant should now be able to interact with your monday.com account!

Our Dynamic API Tools feature represents a significant advancement in how AI agents can interact with monday.com. While our standard tools cover common operations, Dynamic API Tools unlock the full potential of the monday.com GraphQL API.
Dynamic API Tools provide AI agents with complete, adaptable access to monday.com's entire API surface. This means your AI assistant can:
- Access any API endpoint - Not just the predefined operations we've built
- Generate custom GraphQL queries - Create exactly the query needed for any situation
- Dynamically explore monday.com's schema - Understand all available data types and their relationships
| Tool | Description |
|---|
| all_monday_api | Generate and execute any GraphQL query or mutation dynamically |
| get_graphql_schema | Fetch monday.com's GraphQL schema to understand available operations |
| get_type_details | Retrieve detailed information about specific GraphQL types |
Unlocked Possibilities
With Dynamic API Tools, your AI assistants can:
- Create complex reports spanning multiple boards, items, and data points
- Perform batch operations across many items simultaneously
- Integrate deeply with monday.com's advanced features like docs, workspaces, and activity logs
- Discover new capabilities as monday.com adds features to their API
How to Enable
Dynamic API Tools are in beta and disabled by default. Enable them with:
MONDAY_TOKEN=your_monday_api_token npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest --enable-dynamic-api-tools true
You can also use the 'only' mode to exclusively enable Dynamic API Tools:
MONDAY_TOKEN=your_monday_api_token npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest --enable-dynamic-api-tools only
When 'only' mode is enabled, the server will provide just the Dynamic API Tools, filtering out all other standard tools. This is useful for advanced users who want to work directly with the GraphQL API.
⚠️ Note: Dynamic API Tools require full API access and are not compatible with read-only mode.
🖥️ MCP Server Configuration
| Argument | Flags | Description | Required | Default |
|---|
| monday.com API Token | --token, -t | monday.com API token | Yes | - |
| API Version | --version, -v | monday.com API version | No | current |
| Mode | --mode, -m | Tool mode: default for standard platform tools, apps for Apps Framework tools | No | default |
| Read Only Mode | --read-only, -ro | Enable read-only mode | No | false |
| Dynamic API Tools | --enable-dynamic-api-tools, -edat | Enable dynamic API tools | No | false |
🔐 Authentication & Security
The server requires a monday.com API token to authenticate with the monday.com API. You can provide this token in two ways:
- Environment variable:
MONDAY_TOKEN=your_monday_api_token
- Command line argument:
-t your_monday_api_token
Security Best Practices
- Never share your API token in public repositories or discussions
- Consider using read-only mode (
--read-only) when you only need to retrieve data
- Regularly rotate your API tokens for enhanced security
