Go to [monday.com](https://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: ```json { "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](https://geminicli.com), you can use the official [Gemini CLI extension](https://geminicli.com/extensions) 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: ```sh 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: ```sh 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: ```sh gemini ``` Then, authenticate with your monday.com account by running the following command inside Gemini CLI: ```sh /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: ```json { "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: ```json { "mcpServers": { "monday-api-mcp-hosted": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-p", "node@20", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.monday.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}" ], "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer " } } } } ``` ### Specifying API Version You can specify the API version you want to use with the **--header** parameter: ```json { "mcpServers": { "monday-api-mcp-hosted": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.monday.com/mcp", "--header", "Api-Version:${API_VERSION}" ], "env": { "API_VERSION": "2025-07" } } } } ``` ### Installing the Monday MCP App For OAuth authentication and workspace controls, install the Monday MCP app from the marketplace: 1.

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 | 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: ```bash 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: ```bash 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: 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 ## 📚 Example Use Cases Here are some examples of what you can build with our tools: ### 1. AI Assistant for Project Management - Create and manage tasks in monday.com boards - Get updates on project status - Move items between groups as they progress ### 2. Data Analysis & Reporting - Extract data from monday.com boards - Generate reports and insights - Create new boards for reporting ## 🌐 Community & Support - **GitHub Issues**: For bug reports and feature requests - **Discussions**: For questions and community discussions - **[monday.com Developer Documentation](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs)**: Learn more about the monday.com API ## 📚 Documentation - [monday API MCP Documentation](./packages/monday-api-mcp/README.md) - [Agent Toolkit Documentation](./packages/agent-toolkit/README.md) - [monday.com API Reference](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs) ## 📋 Prerequisites Before using these tools, make sure you have: 1.
