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

Type	Supported	Notes
OAuth 2.1	Yes	Recommended for Cequence AI Gateway. Uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR); no need to create an OAuth app in monday.com.

When you add Monday MCP in Cequence AI Gateway, authentication is handled through OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration. You sign in with your monday.com account and grant access during the gateway flow.
