📦 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.

🤖 Agent Toolkit

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.

🏁 Local Installation Guide

Step 1: Create a monday.com Account

If you don't already have a monday.com account:

1. Go to monday.com and sign up for an account
2. 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:

1. Log in to your monday.com account
2. Click on your avatar in the bottom-left corner
3. Select "Developers"
4. Click "My access tokens" on the left menu
5. Copy your personal access token

Step 3: Configure Your MCP Client

For Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Go to Settings → MCP Servers
3. 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:

gemini

Then, authenticate with your monday.com account by running the following command inside Gemini CLI:

/mcp auth monday

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

1. 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?"

2. Your assistant should now be able to interact with your monday.com account!

⚙️ Advanced Hosted MCP Configuration

Using Authorization Headers

To specify a custom authorization header and API version with the hosted MCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monday-api-mcp-hosted": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

🔮 Dynamic API Tools (Beta)

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.

What are Dynamic API Tools?

Dynamic API Tools provide AI agents with complete, adaptable access to monday.com's entire API surface. This means your AI assistant can:

1. Access any API endpoint - Not just the predefined operations we've built
2. Generate custom GraphQL queries - Create exactly the query needed for any situation
3. Dynamically explore monday.com's schema - Understand all available data types and their relationships

Key Dynamic API Tools

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

🔐 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:

1. Environment variable: MONDAY_TOKEN=your_monday_api_token
2. 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
