Notify a user

Notify a user

Sends a user a monday.com bell notification that links to an item, a board or an update, with an email if their settings allow.

Note: Needs the recipient's user_id: look it up with list_users_and_teams. Set target_type to Project for an item or board, Post for an update or reply.

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_notification.

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.
