An officially maintained monday.com MCP server offering both a hosted remote service and a local npx option, covering core board/item/column/form operations plus a beta dynamic GraphQL toolset; users should safeguard API tokens and be mindful of the write-access risks.
The monday.com MCP server, maintained by the monday.com AI team, lets AI agents read and act on monday.com boards, items, columns, groups, and docs. It's offered both as an official hosted remote service (streamable-http and SSE) and as a local stdio server run via npx, working with clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. Beyond the built-in tools, a beta 'Dynamic API Tools' set can generate and execute arbitrary GraphQL queries against the full monday.com API.

Setup
The recommended path is the official hosted MCP: add the URL https://mcp.monday.com/mcp (streamable-http) or https://mcp.monday.com/sse (SSE) directly in your client's MCP settings, supplying a monday.com API token via the Authorization header (as 'Bearer your_token' or the bare token; optional but required for authenticated access). For local use, configure your client to run npx @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest with the MONDAY_TOKEN environment variable set to a personal access token (generated from your monday.com avatar menu → Developers → My access tokens). Gemini CLI users can install via gemini extensions install or gemini mcp add, then run /mcp auth monday to complete OAuth. Requires Node.js v20+ and npm v5.2.0+.

Fit and risk
Not for
- Teams not using the monday.com platform
- Fully offline environments (even local mode requires network access to the monday.com API)
- Cases needing read-only guarantees without explicitly enabling read-only mode
Required permissions
- Requires a monday.com API token (personal access token or OAuth) to act on the user's account
- Default mode grants read/write access — can create, modify, and delete boards/items/columns, so token scope should be handled carefully
- Dynamic API Tools require full API access and are incompatible with read-only mode
Risks and side effects
- A leaked API token exposes read/write access to all boards under that account
- Write tools such as delete_item and delete_column can cause irreversible data loss
- Dynamic API Tools allow arbitrary GraphQL queries/mutations, widening the potential blast radius of misuse
Troubleshooting
- Verify MONDAY_TOKEN is set (or passed via --token) with a valid API token
- For local npx setup, confirm Node.js v20+ is installed
- If expected tools are missing, check the --mode (default/apps) and --enable-dynamic-api-tools flags
- For hosted connection failures, verify the Authorization header format ('Bearer your_token' or bare token)
