For Agents

Query and modify monday.com boards, items, groups, and column values through a single GraphQL endpoint. Supports workspace management, automations, and activity tracking for work management workflows.

Quickstart

Get started with monday.com API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"create an item on a monday.com board"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use monday.com API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI Agent Work Item Automation

AI agents use the monday.com API through Jentic to create, update, and query work items without manual board interaction. An agent searches for the board mutation operation, loads the GraphQL schema, and executes item creation with typed column values in under a minute. This enables automated ticket creation from support channels, status updates from CI/CD pipelines, and cross-board item synchronization.

Create an item on board ID 12345 in group 'new_group' with column values: Status='Working on it', Person=user_id_678, Date='2026-05-15', and Text='Implement feature X'

Cross-Board Reporting and Analytics

Query items across multiple boards with nested column values to build custom reports and dashboards. The monday.com GraphQL API returns boards, groups, items, and their typed column data in a single request. Teams aggregate completion rates, workload distribution, and deadline adherence metrics without exporting data manually from the monday.com UI.

Query all items from boards 111, 222, and 333 where status_column equals 'Stuck' and return item name, board name, assignee, and last updated timestamp

Automated Status Synchronization

Keep monday.com board statuses synchronized with external systems by subscribing to webhooks and pushing updates via the GraphQL API. When a deployment completes in CI/CD, an agent updates the corresponding item's status column to 'Done'. When a support ticket is escalated, the linked monday.com item moves to 'Critical'. This bidirectional sync eliminates manual status copy between tools.

Update item ID 98765 on board 12345 to set status_column to 'Done' and add an update note 'Deployment v2.3.1 completed successfully'

Team Workload Visibility

Retrieve people column assignments across boards to calculate individual team member workload. The API returns person IDs mapped to items with their status, due dates, and priority levels. Managers use this data to identify overloaded team members, redistribute work, and forecast capacity for upcoming sprints.

Query all items assigned to person_id 456 across all boards in workspace 789 where status is not 'Done' and return item name, board name, and due date

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

monday.com API tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault. Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw API keys never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create an item on a monday.com board') and Jentic returns the matching GraphQL mutation schema with typed column value formats, so agents execute the right operation without reading monday.com's API documentation.

Time to first call

Direct monday.com integration: 2-4 days for auth setup, GraphQL schema learning, and column value formatting. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using monday.com API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for monday.com API?

monday.com does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call monday.com API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the monday.com API use?

The monday.com API uses Bearer token authentication. Include your API token in the Authorization header as 'Bearer {token}'. Tokens are generated from your monday.com admin panel. Through Jentic, these tokens are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and agents receive scoped credentials without touching raw secrets.

Can I create items with specific column values using the monday.com API?

Yes. Use the create_item mutation with the column_values parameter set to a JSON string mapping column IDs to typed values. For example, a status column accepts its index value, a date column accepts 'YYYY-MM-DD', and a people column accepts an array of person IDs. The column type determines the expected value format.

What are the rate limits for the monday.com API?

monday.com applies complexity-based rate limiting rather than per-request limits. Each query has a complexity cost based on the fields and depth requested. The default budget is 10,000,000 complexity points per minute. Query responses include a complexity field showing the cost and remaining budget.

How do I query items across multiple boards through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'query monday.com board items'. Jentic returns the POST / GraphQL endpoint schema. Construct a boards query with IDs parameter listing your target board IDs, nest items_page with column_values, and execute. Pagination uses cursor-based tokens returned in the response.

Is the monday.com API GraphQL or REST?

The monday.com API is entirely GraphQL. All operations (queries and mutations) go through a single POST endpoint at https://api.monday.com/v2. You construct GraphQL queries to read data (boards, items, columns) and mutations to write data (create_item, change_column_value, archive_item).

Can I set up webhooks for board changes?

Yes. Use the create_webhook mutation specifying the board_id, target URL, and event type (e.g., 'change_column_value', 'create_item'). monday.com sends POST payloads to your URL when matching events occur. You can also filter webhooks to specific columns using the config parameter.
