2. Get the Workspace Name from the URL of your Monday.com workspace. For example, if the URL is `https://myworkspace.monday.com/`, the workspace name is `myworkspace`.
## Quickstart
## Using Rube
1. Go to (Rube.app)[https://rube.app/]
2. Install Rube in your preferred client including Cursor, Claude, VS Code, Windsurf etc.,
3. Complete authentication with Rube
4. You can now execute actions on Monday.com like creating items, posting updates, moving items
### Install
#### Claude Desktop
On MacOS: `~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
##### Using uvx
```
"mcpServers": {
"monday": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"mcp-server-monday"
],
"env": {
"MONDAY_API_KEY": "your-monday-api-key",
"MONDAY_WORKSPACE_NAME": "your-monday-workspace-name"
}
}
}
```
##### Using Docker
```
"mcpServers": {
"monday-docker": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e",
"MONDAY_API_KEY=your-monday-api-key",
"-e",
"MONDAY_WORKSPACE_NAME=your-monday-workspace-name",
"sakce/mcp-server-monday"
]
}
}
```
## Development
### Building and Publishing
To prepare the package for distribution:
1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
```bash
uv sync
```
2. Build package distributions:
```bash
uv build
```
This will create source and wheel distributions in the `dist/` directory.
3. Publish to PyPI:
```bash
uv publish
```
Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:
- Token: `--token` or `UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN`
- Or username/password: `--username`/`UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME` and `--password`/`UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD`
### Debugging
Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging
experience, we strongly recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector).
You can launch the MCP Inspector via [`npm`](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) with this command:
```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-monday
```
Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.TDQS
Scored across 21 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes targeting specific Monday.com resources and actions, such as boards, items, documents, and updates. However, some overlap exists between 'monday-get-item-files' and 'monday-get-update-files', which could cause confusion as both handle file attachments but for different entities. Overall, descriptions clarify boundaries, but minor ambiguity remains in file-related tools.
All tool names follow a consistent 'monday-verb-noun' pattern with snake_case, such as 'monday-create-board' and 'monday-get-item-updates'. The naming is highly predictable and readable, with no deviations in style or convention across the 21 tools, making it easy for agents to understand and use the set.
With 21 tools, the count is borderline for the Monday.com domain, which involves boards, items, documents, and updates. While it covers many operations, it feels slightly heavy and could be streamlined, as some tools like 'monday-get-board-columns' and 'monday-get-board-groups' might be combined or simplified. The scope is reasonable but approaches the upper limit of what's manageable.
The tool set provides comprehensive CRUD and lifecycle coverage for Monday.com resources, including boards, items, groups, documents, and updates. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tool for deleting documents or updating board settings, but agents can likely work around these using existing tools like 'monday-delete-item' or 'monday-update-item'. Overall, it supports core workflows effectively.
