- 🛠️ **Build custom agents** - Use the agent toolkit for OpenAI or custom implementations
- 🔌 **Work offline** - Develop without internet connectivity
- 🧪 **Contribute to development** - Help improve the MCP server or toolkit
## 🏁 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](https://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:
```json
{
"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](https://geminicli.com), you can use the
official [Gemini CLI extension](https://geminicli.com/extensions) 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:
```sh
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:
```sh
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:
```sh
gemini
```
Then, authenticate with your monday.com account by running the following
command inside Gemini CLI:
```sh
/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:
```json
{
"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!
