How to Set Up and Use Monday.com
The monday.com MCP server connects AI agents directly to the monday.com work operating system, enabling them to read boards, create items, update statuses, and manage projects through natural language. Maintained by the monday.com AI team, it supports both a hosted cloud endpoint requiring no local setup and a local npm package for custom deployments. Developers building AI assistants or automations can use it to give their agents full, authenticated access to monday.com data and actions within real workflows.
Prerequisites
- Node.js v20 or newer (for local installation)
- A monday.com account with at least one workspace and board
- A monday.com personal API token (Settings → Developers → My access tokens)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Gemini CLI
Create a monday.com account and workspace
Sign up at monday.com if you do not already have an account. Create a workspace and at least one board so the agent has data to interact with.
Generate a personal API token
In monday.com, click your avatar in the bottom-left corner, choose Developers, then click 'My access tokens' in the left menu. Copy your personal access token — this is the value you will pass as MONDAY_TOKEN.
Choose hosted or local MCP
The hosted MCP at https://mcp.monday.com/mcp requires no local installation and handles OAuth automatically. For local use with full customization, proceed with the npm package in the next step.
Add the MCP server to your client config (local)
Open your claude_desktop_config.json and add the monday-api-mcp server block, supplying your API token in the env section.
{
"mcpServers": {
"monday-api-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"MONDAY_TOKEN": "your_monday_api_token"
}
}
}
}Or configure the hosted MCP endpoint
For a zero-install setup with automatic OAuth, add the hosted URL directly to your MCP client settings instead of running a local process.
{
"mcpServers": {
"monday-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.monday.com/mcp"
}
}
}Restart your MCP client and verify
Restart Claude Desktop or your chosen client. The monday.com tools should appear as available. Ask the AI to list your boards to confirm the connection.
Monday.com Examples
Client configuration (local npm)
Add this block to claude_desktop_config.json to run the monday.com MCP server locally via npx with your API token.
{
"mcpServers": {
"monday-api-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest"],
"env": {
"MONDAY_TOKEN": "your_monday_api_token"
}
}
}
}Prompts to try
These prompts work once the server is connected and MONDAY_TOKEN is set.
- "List all boards in my monday.com workspace"
- "Create a new item called 'Design review' in the Marketing board with status In Progress"
- "Show me all overdue tasks assigned to me"
- "Update the status of item 'Q3 report' to Done"
- "Summarize the items in the 'Development' board that are blocked"Troubleshooting Monday.com
Agent returns 'Unauthorized' or 401 errors when calling monday.com tools
Verify that MONDAY_TOKEN is set to a valid personal access token from Settings → Developers → My access tokens. Tokens tied to deactivated accounts will fail.
npx cannot find @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp
Ensure Node.js v20 or newer is installed. Run 'node --version' to confirm. If behind a corporate proxy, set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable before running npx.
Board or item changes made by the agent are not visible in monday.com
Check that the API token belongs to a user with edit permissions on the relevant workspace. Guest or viewer accounts may have restricted write access.
