## TL;DR

### 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 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Monday MCP to Codex

### How to install Monday MCP MCP in Codex
### Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.

```bash
codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is the Monday MCP MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Monday MCP 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 MCP account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Monday MCP operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `MONDAY_MCP_ALL_MONDAY_API` | All monday api | Execute any monday.com API operation by generating GraphQL queries and mutations dynamically. Make sure you ask only for the fields you need and nothing more. When providing the query/mutation - use get_graphql_schema and get_type_details tools first to understand the schema before crafting your query. |
| `MONDAY_MCP_ALL_WIDGETS_SCHEMA` | All widgets schema | Fetch complete JSON Schema 7 definitions for all available widget types in monday.com. This tool is essential before creating widgets as it provides: - Complete schema definitions for all supported widgets - Required and optional fields for each widget type - Data type specifications and validation rules - Detailed descriptions of widget capabilities Use this tool when you need to: - Understand widget configuration requirements before creating widgets - Validate widget settings against official schemas - Plan widget implementations with proper data structures The response includes JSON Schema 7 definitions that describe exactly what settings each widget type accepts. |
| `MONDAY_MCP_BOARD_INSIGHTS` | Board insights | This tool allows you to calculate insights about board's data by filtering, grouping and aggregating columns. For example, you can get the total number of items in a board, the number of items in each status, the number of items in each column, etc. Use this tool when you need to get a summary of the board's data, for example, you want to know the total number of items in a board, the number of items in each status, the number of items in each column, etc.[REQUIRED PRECONDITION]: Before using this tool, if new columns were added to the board or if you are not familiar with the board's structure (column IDs, column types, status labels, etc.), first use get_board_info to understand the board metadata. This is essential for constructing proper filters and knowing which columns are available.[IMPORTANT]: For some columns, human-friendly label is returned inside 'LABEL_<column_id' field. E.g. for column with id 'status_123' the label is returned inside 'LABEL_status_123' field. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Monday MCP MCP?

With a standalone Monday MCP MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Monday MCP tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Monday MCP and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex?

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 MCP tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Monday MCP while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Monday MCP 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 MCP data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
