Update an item

Update an item

Sets one or more column values on an existing item in one call, such as its status, a date or an email.

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 change_item_column_values.

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.
