Concrete capability record
Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits
A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.
02 · Data you can retrieve
Query the monday work graph and collaboration context, including workspaces, boards, items, columns, workdocs, updates, users, teams, search, assets, automations, workflows, and agents.
03 · Actions and write paths
Create and modify work records and collaboration artifacts, publish workflows, manage automations and agents, and execute GraphQL mutations; the separate Apps MCP creates features and deploys monday apps.
04 · Authentication and permissions
The hosted Platform MCP uses delegated OAuth user context, with personal API token support also documented; operations inherit the authenticated user's monday.com permissions. The local Apps MCP uses a personal API token.
05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery
MCP actions run as the authenticated user without elevated service-account access. Use least privilege, validate model inputs and outputs in the client, log agent activity, and confirm consequential work-graph or deployment changes.
06 · Limits and caveats
Platform API rate limits also apply to Platform MCP traffic. Detailed MCP or API audit logs do not currently have a customer self-service export, and AI-layer safeguards remain the integrating organization's responsibility.
First-party access
Documented surfaces
GraphQL API query ↗monday.com's platform API uses GraphQL for queries and mutations, and its platform MCP can expose raw API queries. Access remains permission, token, API-version, and complexity limited; mutations are action evidence as well as query-surface evidence.Source: monday API basicsMCP / agent surface ↗Verified first-party provider MCPAPI ↗Developer accessDeveloper docs ↗SDKs and platform guidanceEvents / extensions ↗Webhooks, apps, or extensionsProduct ↗Native platform experience

MCP support
Official MCP servermonday.com-hosted Platform MCP plus separate local Apps MCPCurrent Platform service; some newer tools use preview schema
Support: Official MCP server
Read scope: Read workspaces, boards, items, schemas, workdocs, updates, users, teams, assets, search results, and operational context for automations, workflows, agents, and sprints.
Write scope: Create and update monday work records, docs, views, forms, updates, notifications, assets, automations, workflows, and agents; Apps MCP separately manages app features, versions, and deployment.
Authentication: Hosted Platform MCP uses monday.com delegated OAuth user authentication, with a personal API token option; local Apps MCP uses a personal API token.
Approval boundary: Confirm changes that create notifications, publish workflows, alter automations or agents, execute broad GraphQL mutations, or deploy app versions; show the acting user and affected workspace or board.
Protocol does not erase product boundaries.
Confirm the current tool catalog, plan, region, scopes, rate limits, terms, and write behavior before implementation.
