Create an item

Create an item

Creates an item, a row on a board, with its name and column values, and returns the item's id and URL.

Note: Read the board first with get_board_info for its column ids, group ids and status labels. The item lands in the board's top group unless you pass groupId.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "monday": { "url": "https://mcp.monday.com/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool create_item.

Server URL: https://mcp.monday.com/mcp

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.monday.com
• Endpoint: POST /v2
• Auth: send the header Authorization: $MONDAY_TOKEN
• Docs: https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs/authentication

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
