monday-create-itemLABSCO SUMMARY
An agent can keep the board current while you work.
What it takes off you is the click path: read what is in a group, add the item that just came up, move it when its state changes, and leave the update that explains it — without opening the board.
What it is
A client for a Monday.com workspace. It covers boards, groups, items and sub-items, the update thread on an item, and Monday docs, all through your personal API token.
What you get
- Every board in the workspace, and the groups inside a board
- Items listed by group, and sub-items listed for the items you name
- New boards and new groups created
- Items and sub-items created, moved between groups, archived or deleted
- Comments posted on an item, and the existing update thread read back
- Docs listed and read, new docs created, and blocks appended to one
Requirements
A Monday.com personal API token, and your workspace name — the part before .monday.com in the URL. Runs from uvx or Docker in your client config.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — uvx mcp-server-monday, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Seeing where a project stands
Find the board, read its groups, and list the items in each, so the current state arrives without a scroll.
02
Capturing a task the moment it is agreed
Create the item — or a sub-item under an existing one — while the conversation is still on it.
03
Moving work along as its state changes
Find the item in its current group and move it to the next one, so the board matches reality at the end of the day.
04
Leaving the note that explains the change
Read the existing thread on the item first, then post the update, so the comment adds to the story instead of repeating it.
05
Setting up a new board from a plan
Create the board, cut it into groups, and populate the first items in one pass.
06
Writing the spec next to the work
Create the doc, append the blocks as the thinking lands, and read it back later from the same place.
