monday-create-itemLABSCO SUMMARY
Board work and docs behind the same connection.
Item management is the expected half; the document tools are the part worth noticing, since reading and appending to a Monday doc is usually a separate trip. Deleting and archiving both exist and mean different things — archive keeps the record, delete does not.
What it is
An MCP server for monday.com that gives an MCP client access to boards, groups, items, sub-items, updates and documents.
What you get
- Boards listed, created, and their groups retrieved, with new groups created inside a board
- Items and sub-items created, listed by group, moved between groups, archived and deleted
- Sub-items listed for a set of items, for reading a hierarchy rather than a flat board
- Updates — Monday's comment thread — created on an item, and retrieved for it
- Documents listed with optional folder filtering, created, read for their content, and extended with new blocks
Requirements
A monday.com personal API token, plus your workspace name — it is the subdomain in your monday.com URL. Both go in the environment. It runs through uvx.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — uvx mcp-server-monday-qi, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Adding work to the right place on a board
List the boards and their groups first, then create the item where it belongs rather than in the default group.
02
Catching up on an item's discussion
Read the updates on the item, and post your own without opening the board.
03
Reorganising a board that has drifted
Create the group you actually need and move items into it.
04
Reading what a group contains
List the items in the groups you care about, and their sub-items, instead of scrolling the whole board.
05
Writing up notes where the team will find them
Create a Monday doc and add blocks to it, or read the content of one that already exists.
06
Clearing finished work off the board
Archive the items worth keeping a record of, and delete the ones that were never real.
