🏁 Local Installation Guide

Step 1: Create a monday.com Account

If you don't already have a monday.com account:

1. Go to monday.com and sign up for an account
2. Create your first workspace and board to get started

Step 2: Generate an API Token

To interact with monday.com's API, you'll need an API token:

1. Log in to your monday.com account
2. Click on your avatar in the bottom-left corner
3. Select "Developers"
4. Click "My access tokens" on the left menu
5. Copy your personal access token

Step 3: Configure Your MCP Client

For Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Go to Settings → MCP Servers
3. Add a new server with this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monday-api-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MONDAY_TOKEN": "your_monday_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Gemini CLI

To get started with Gemini CLI, you can use the official Gemini CLI extension for monday.com.

The Gemini CLI extension bundles the monday.com MCP server with a context file and custom commands that teaches Gemini how to use the monday.com tools for powerful workflows.

To install the extension run the following command in your terminal:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/mondaycom/mcp

If you prefer to use the MCP server directly without the extension, you can add it with this command:

gemini mcp add -t http monday https://mcp.monday.com/mcp

Once you have either the extension installed or the MCP server added, start Gemini CLI by running:

gemini

Then, authenticate with your monday.com account by running the following command inside Gemini CLI:

/mcp auth monday

This will open a browser window to complete the authentication process. After authenticating, all the monday.com tools and custom commands will be available.

A few custom command to try out for the extension:

• /monday:create-item create item in board 123 for "Update the UI"
• /monday:sprint-summary sprint summary for sprint 853

For Cursor or Other MCP Clients (Local Setup)

Add to your settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monday-api-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MONDAY_TOKEN": "your_monday_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 5: Test Your Integration

1. Ask Claude or your AI assistant a question like:

   • "What items do I have in board 123?"
   • "Can you create a board to manage my project?"

2. Your assistant should now be able to interact with your monday.com account!
