monday.com is a work management platform for projects, workflows, boards, docs, and dashboards. It helps teams plan work, track progress, and collaborate without scattered status updates.

Introduction

Codex is one of the most popular coding harnesses out there. And MCP makes the experience even better. With the Monday MCP integration, Codex can create boards and items, update column values, build dashboards and docs, manage automations, and search your workspace, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer.

Why use Composio?

Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:

  • CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
  • Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
  • Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1700+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

How to install Monday MCP in Codex

Run the setup command

Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

Terminal

It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

Composio authentication page

(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth

To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.

bash
codex mcp login composio

Verify the connection

Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.

bash
codex mcp list

Codex App

Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.

  1. Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
  2. Fill the header and Key fields with { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }.
  3. The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on dashboard.composio.dev
  4. Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
Codex App MCP setup
  1. Restart and verify if it's there in .codex/config.toml
bash
[mcp_servers.composio]
url = "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
http_headers = { "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }

Try it

Ask Codex for a Monday task. The first time, Composio asks you to connect your Monday account.

For example, ask it to:

  • "List overdue items across project boards"
  • "Create sprint tasks for engineering team"
  • "Summarize updates on launch board"

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 account. It provides structured and secure access to your boards, items, workspaces, dashboards, forms, docs, and automations, so your agent can organize projects, update work, build reporting views, create workflows, and review activity on your behalf.

  • Board and workspace organization: Have your agent create workspaces, boards, folders, groups, columns, and views to structure projects around your team's needs.
  • Item creation and updates: Let the agent create individual items or batches of items, change column values, add updates, and send user notifications.
  • Dashboards and project insights: Direct your agent to create dashboards and widgets, calculate board insights, and review board activity for a chosen time range.
  • Forms, docs, and files: Instruct your agent to create forms, manage form questions and submissions, create docs, and add files to Monday.
  • Automations and workflows: Have your agent create board automations and workflows, then review automation run history and statistics.

Conclusion

You've successfully integrated Monday with Codex using Composio's MCP server. Now you can interact with Monday directly from your terminal, VS Code, or the Codex App using natural language commands.

Key benefits of this setup:

  • Seamless integration across CLI, VS Code, and standalone app
  • Natural language commands for Monday operations
  • Managed authentication through Composio
  • Access to 20,000+ tools across 1700+ apps for cross-app workflows
  • CodeAct workbench for complex tool chaining

Next steps:

  • Try asking Codex to perform various Monday operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Build automation scripts that leverage Codex's AI capabilities

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.

Yes, you can. Codex 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.

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.

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.
