With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Monday with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Monday with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Monday to VS Code ### Integrate Monday MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Monday MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Monday MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Monday.com workspace. It provides structured and secure access to your boards, items, and workflows, so your agent can perform actions like creating items, managing boards, updating columns, and organizing groups on your behalf. - Automated board and item management: Effortlessly create new boards, add items to existing boards, and archive or delete items as your projects evolve. - Dynamic column and group organization: Let your agent create, update, or remove columns and groups to keep your boards tailored to your team's needs. - Collaborative user and role administration: Add users to boards and assign roles, ensuring the right people have access and permissions for every project. - Streamlined workflow customization: Change column values, assign statuses or dropdowns, and create groups to match your workflow requirements in real time. - Efficient cleanup and restructuring: Archive or permanently delete boards, columns, or groups when they're no longer needed, keeping your workspace organized and clutter-free. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MONDAY_ADD_USERS_TO_BOARD` | Add users to board | Adds users to a monday.com board with a specified role. | | `MONDAY_ARCHIVE_BOARD` | Archive board | Archives a specified, existing, and unarchived board in monday.com; archived boards can typically be restored later. | | `MONDAY_ARCHIVE_ITEM` | Archive item | Archives an existing monday.com item, moving it from active board views to the archive where it can be potentially restored. | | `MONDAY_CHANGE_SIMPLE_COLUMN_VALUE` | Change simple column value | Changes a specific column's value for a monday.com item using a simple string, suitable for text, status, or dropdown columns; can create new labels if `create labels if missing` is true for status/dropdown columns. | | `MONDAY_CREATE_BOARD` | Create a Monday board | Creates a monday.com board; `template id` if used must be accessible, and `folder id` must be in `workspace id` if both are provided. | | `MONDAY_CREATE_COLUMN` | Create column | Creates a new column with a specified type and title on a monday.com board. | | `MONDAY_CREATE_GROUP` | Create group | Creates a new group with the given `group name` on an existing monday.com board, identified by its `board id`. | | `MONDAY_CREATE_ITEM` | Create item | Creates a new item on a monday.com board, optionally assigning it to a group and setting column values. | | `MONDAY_DELETE_COLUMN` | Delete column | Deletes a specified column from a monday.com board; this action is destructive and cannot be undone via the api. | | `MONDAY_DELETE_GROUP` | Delete group | Permanently deletes an existing group (and its items) from an existing board in monday.com. | | `MONDAY_DELETE_ITEM` | Delete item | Permanently deletes an existing monday.com item; this action is irreversible via the api. | | `MONDAY_DUPLICATE_ITEM` | Duplicate item | Duplicates an item on a monday.com board, optionally including its updates. | | `MONDAY_GET_GROUP_DETAILS` | Get group details | Retrieves details (id, title, color, archived/deleted status) for a specific group on an accessible monday.com board. | | `MONDAY_LIST_BOARD_ITEMS` | List board items | Retrieves id, name, and state for all items on a specified monday.com board. | | `MONDAY_LIST_BOARDS` | List Monday boards | Retrieves a list of boards from a monday.com account, supporting pagination and filtering by state. | | `MONDAY_LIST_COLUMNS` | List columns | Lists all columns and their properties for a specified monday.com `board id`; the board must exist. | | `MONDAY_LIST_ITEMS` | List items | Retrieves specified subitems from monday.com using their ids, returning the raw json response. | | `MONDAY_LIST_USERS` | List users | Retrieves a list of users from monday.com; an empty user list in the response 'data' field does not signify action failure. | | `MONDAY_MOVE_ITEM_TO_BOARD` | Move item to board | Moves a monday.com item to a specified board and group; requires the item, target board, and target group to exist. | | `MONDAY_MOVE_ITEM_TO_GROUP` | Move item to group | Moves an item to a different group on the same monday.com board; the item and group must exist. | | `MONDAY_UPDATE_BOARD` | Update board | Updates a specified attribute of an existing board on monday.com. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, VS Code can access the Monday MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Monday is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. - Connect HubSpot or Salesforce to log customer context, update records, and draft follow-ups. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Monday MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/monday/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Monday MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Monday tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Monday and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Monday tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Monday while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Monday scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Monday data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
