11. Monday.com MCP Server

Monday.com works as a whiteboard where teams organize their work, their tasks, projects, deadlines, and ownership.

This MCP acts like an assistant that connects directly to the user’s Monday workspace and allows him to interact with it using simple everyday language. Meaning the user can simply just talk or type through the chat its requests instead of going through the app manually.

This MCP is useful for:

• Creating and updating tasks in Monday

• Retrieving information about projects

• Automating work management

Custom parameters

• apiVersion: API version to use

• timeout: Maximum request time (seconds)

How to get the parameters

1. After registering and logging in to Monday

2. Workspace Name:

   • Look in the left sidebar

   • You'll see the current workspace name (e.g., "Main Workspace", "Marketing Team")

   • Use that exact name

3. Api Key (API Token):

   • Click your profile photo (bottom left)

   • Select Admin (if you're an admin) or Developers

   • In the side menu, go to Developers → API Token

   • Or go directly to: https://monday.com/admin/integrations/api

   • In the "API Token" section:

     • Click "Generate" to create a new token

     • Or "Show" to see an existing one

   • Copy the token (often starts with eyJ... , save the token securely!)

4. Token Param: default is --token, rarely needs changing

5. Finding Workspace ID:

   1. URL: https://mycompany.monday.com/workspaces/12345678

   2. The ID is 12345678

6. Board ID (for reference):

   1. URL: https://mycompany.monday.com/boards/123456789

   2. The ID is 123456789

API Token security

• The API token has the same permissions as the user who generated it

• It can access all of that user's boards and workspaces

• Never share the token publicly

• Rotate the token periodically for security
