Monday MCP

Connect your AI tools to monday.com using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) through Cequence AI Gateway. The Monday MCP server gives AI assistants secure access to your monday.com workspace for managing boards, items, documents, forms, dashboards, sprints, and more — with all actions respecting your existing user-level permissions.

Overview​

Monday MCP is a remote, vendor-hosted MCP server provided by monday.com. You do not run the server yourself; you connect to it from Cequence AI Gateway using the server URL and OAuth.

  • Server URL: https://mcp.monday.com/mcp
  • Transport: HTTP (Streamable HTTP)
  • Hosted by: monday.com

monday.com is a work management platform used by teams for project tracking, workflows, document collaboration, and sprint planning. The MCP server exposes 42 tools that cover the full breadth of the monday.com platform, from board operations to a generic GraphQL API for advanced use cases.

Supported authentication types​

Prerequisites​

Before adding Monday MCP in Cequence AI Gateway, ensure you have:

  • Access to Cequence AI Gateway at aigateway.cequence.ai
  • A monday.com account with access to the boards and workspaces you want AI tools to use
  • Admin installation: an account admin must install the monday MCP app from the monday.com marketplace before team members can connect
  • For OAuth authentication: monday.com uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), so you typically do not need to create an OAuth app manually

Example workflows​

Once connected, you can run workflows like these from your AI client.

Project tracking​

  • "Show me all items on the Marketing Campaign board that are overdue."
  • "Create a new item on the Sprint Board titled 'Fix checkout timeout' and assign it to me."
  • "What changed on the Product Roadmap board in the last 7 days?"

Documents and forms​

  • "Create a meeting notes document in the Engineering workspace with today's agenda."
  • "Build a feedback form with rating and comment fields, and share the link."
  • "Show me the version history of the API Design doc."

Sprint management​

  • "List all sprint boards I have access to."

Dashboards and reporting​

  • "Create a dashboard that shows item status distribution across the Q3 Projects board."
