Data last scanned today · Reviewed today
Overview
The monday.com MCP Server allows AI agents to interact directly with your boards and tasks. By integrating with this framework, developers can provide their models with the context needed to manage projects, track task status, and automate workflows within the monday.com platform. It simplifies the connection between intelligent agents and your existing work OS data. Built with TypeScript, the package includes both a dedicated server implementation for MCP and an agent toolkit designed for building complex interactions. It is compatible with multiple AI environments, providing a centralized way for teams to manage their project data and reports through conversational interfaces.
Our verdict
With a security score of 48/100, this server is currently classified as high risk. Because the authentication methods and read-only modes have not yet been editorially reviewed, caution is advised before deploying this in environments with sensitive project data. It is best suited for developers experimenting in test environments rather than production setups requiring strict access controls.
- TypeScript implementation for easy integration
- Zero direct dependencies reduce supply-chain surface area
- Active development with commits within the last three days
- Large contributor base of 61 individuals
- Community-maintained rather than official vendor support
- Authentication methods lack independent security review
- Read-only mode functionality is not yet verified
Setup
{
"mcpServers": {
"mondaycom-mcp": {
"args": [
"-y",
"monday-ai"
],
"command": "npx"
}
}
}Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Some servers require API keys or tokens as environment variables — check the project's README and add an "env" object if needed.
- No read-only mode — running this grants full read/write access.
- No built-in authentication — anyone with access to this config can invoke every tool it exposes.

Frequently asked questions
›What are the advantages of using the hosted MCP service over a local installation?
The hosted MCP service eliminates the need for local setup, provides automatic updates, offers optimized infrastructure for better performance, and simplifies authentication using OAuth.
›What are the prerequisites for running the monday.com MCP server locally?
Local execution requires Node.js version 20 or higher, a monday.com account with at least one workspace and board, and a personal API token generated via the developers section of your monday.com account.
›When should I consider running the MCP server locally instead of using the hosted version?
You should run it locally if you need to modify the source code for customization, require offline development capabilities, are building custom agents using the toolkit, or wish to contribute to the project's development.
›Which AI platforms are supported for integration with the monday.com MCP?
The server supports integrations with Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and Mistral AI's le Chat.
