Overview

What changes when Claude can reach your monday.com

Status meetings stop being a tour of boards. You ask Claude what is going on, it searches your workspaces, reads item updates and docs, and answers in the chat. When a note or a doc should land in monday.com, it can put it there, inside what your own account can see. monday.com states it never reaches past your existing permissions.

Catch up on a project without opening ten boards. search finds the board, doc, form or folder you mean, get_updates pulls the comments on an item with their authors and dates, and read_docs returns a monday doc as text Claude can summarise.

Leave the trace where the team works. create_update posts a comment on an item, create_doc writes a spec or a retro as a monday doc, and create_folder or create_workspace give a new initiative its own place. move_object tidies folders and boards once the dust settles.

Know who is who. list_users_and_teams and get_user_context tell Claude which people, teams and boards matter to you, so it does not guess an owner.

Now the part the directory sheet does not say. Twenty-two of its tool names, including create_items_and_tasks and all_api_write, do not appear in monday.com's own tool article, last updated in May 2026. We describe none of them. An admin switch on the monday.com side can also block the whole thing. And nothing runs by itself: no tool starts when an item changes status. For that kind of background job, an automation tool is the right trade, and the Integrations hub gathers that side.

Vocabulary

The vocabulary in one minute

Five words you will run into while plugging monday.com into Claude.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already own, so Claude can work in that account while it answers you.
Tool
One named action a connector opens to Claude. It picks the ones it needs by itself, and the directory sheet lists them by name.
Authorization
The sign-in screen of the service itself, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Granted once per person, and you can take it back.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes through with something that changes your account, shown in the chat when it matters.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on. It is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as monday.com.
Connect

Connect monday.com to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find monday.com in Claude

    In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, and look for monday.com in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to switch the connector on first, before each member can sign in.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Connect on the monday.com row, then sign in to monday.com in the window it opens itself. If the link ever breaks, use Disconnect and connect again from the same place.

  3. 03

    Read the authorization screen

    Read monday.com's authorization screen before you accept. It belongs to monday.com, not to Claude, and it sets what the access covers. You can take that access back later from your monday.com account.

Tools

The 33 Claude monday.com connector tools, by what they do

monday.com gives Claude 33 tools: 6 that read your account, 5 that change something in it, and 22 no official source describes.

Three groups: what Claude reads, what it can change, and what no official source describes. Tool names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

  • 6 read
  • 5 write
  • 22 not documented

What Claude reads (6)

6 tools

Six tools that search and read your workspace, as monday.com describes them.

list_users_and_teams

Fetches data on users, teams or both from your monday.com account.

When it helps
Claude needs to know which Julia runs the launch board before it answers who owns what.
Watch out
it returns what your account can see; viewers have no access through this connector at all.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

get_updates

Reads the comment thread posted under an item, with author, timestamps, replies and links to attached files.

When it helps
you missed a week and want to know what was decided under the checkout redesign task.
Watch out
attachments come back as links, not as file contents.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

list_workspaces

Lists every workspace your account can reach, the top level of how monday.com organizes boards and docs.

When it helps
you work across Marketing and Product workspaces and want Claude to look in the right one.
Watch out
an admin can limit the connection to specific workspaces, so some may be missing on purpose.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

get_user_context

Pulls who you are in monday.com along with the boards, folders, workspaces and dashboards that matter to you.

When it helps
you ask what is on your plate and Claude starts from your own boards, not the whole account.
Watch out
it reflects the connected person only, not a colleague's view.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

read_docs

Returns the content of a monday doc as markdown, plain text with light formatting that Claude can quote or summarise.

When it helps
a long spec sits in a monday doc and you want the open questions in five bullets.
Watch out
it reads docs your permissions open, nothing beyond.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

What Claude can change (5)

5 tools

Five tools that post, file or reorganize content. No source describes a confirmation of their own: the general rule below applies.

create_update

Approval: see the rule

Adds an update to an item, the comment or post that shows under a task for everyone following it.

What Claude asks for
no source describes a confirmation for this tool, so the general rule of the approvals section applies.
When it helps
after a client call, you want the summary posted right under the matching task.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

move_object

Approval: see the rule

Moves folders, boards or overviews to a different place in your account's structure.

What Claude asks for
nothing specific is documented here; see the general rule further down.
When it helps
last year's campaign boards clutter the active workspace and belong in an archive folder.
Watch out
people used to the old location will need to know where things went.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

create_workspace

Approval: see the rule

Creates a new workspace, the top-level space where a team's boards and docs live.

What Claude asks for
no dedicated confirmation is described, the default approval rule covers it.
When it helps
a new department is joining the account and needs its own space from day one.
Watch out
a workspace is a big container, so check the name and purpose before you approve.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

create_folder

Approval: see the rule

Adds a folder inside a workspace to group boards and docs that belong together.

What Claude asks for
no confirmation of its own is described; the general rule applies.
When it helps
each client project should have one folder holding its boards and its brief.
Watch out
tell Claude which workspace, or it has to pick for you.

Sourcesupport.monday.com · May 19, 2026 ↗

create_doc

Approval: see the rule

Writes a monday doc from markdown, either inside a workspace or attached to a specific item.

What Claude asks for
nothing tool-specific is documented, so the approvals section's general rule holds.
When it helps
you want a retro doc drafted from the sprint notes and pinned to the sprint item.
Watch out
read it before sharing, since it goes straight into the team's space.

Not documented (22)

22 tools

The directory lists these names, but monday.com's tool article does not. No official text says what they do, and we will not guess from a name.

create_items_and_tasks

This name sits on the directory sheet, yet monday.com's own tool article, last revised in May 2026, does not list it. No official source describes it, so this page says nothing more about what it does.

Watch out
whatever it turns out to be, the general approval rule covers it.

create_workflows_and_approvals

Same silence here: no official source describes this name, which appears on the sheet and nowhere in monday.com's tool reference. Better to flag the gap than to fill it with a guess drawn from how the name sounds.

Watch out
the same approval rule as the rest of the list applies to it.

create_dashboards_and_portfolios

Listed by the directory, undocumented by monday.com and by Claude's help pages alike. Nobody publishes what it touches or returns, so its behaviour is unknown and this note stops there on purpose.

Watch out
treat it under the default approval rule like any other tool.

create_notifications_and_updates

All we have is a name. The directory publishes it, monday.com's article on its tools does not mention it, and no Claude page explains it. We would rather leave this card short than make something up.

Watch out
your connected account's tool settings are the only place that labels it.

create_forms_and_intake

Absent from the list monday.com publishes, present on Claude's directory sheet, described by no official text. That mismatch is the only fact available, and this page reports it rather than guessing a purpose.

Watch out
the general approval rule is what applies until a source says more.

get_board_and_project_status_insights

Neither monday.com nor Anthropic publishes a description of this name. It shows up in the directory's list and in no documentation we could read on 30 September 2026.

Watch out
check its label in your connected account's tool permissions before you rely on it.

update_items_owners_and_status

Nothing official explains this one. The directory sheet carries the name, the monday.com tool article does not, and no help page from Claude fills the gap. This note stays silent on its effect for that reason.

Watch out
the default approval rule covers it like the others.

create_boards_and_projects

You will find this name on the directory sheet and not in the tool list monday.com maintains. No source documents it, so any description here would be a guess, and this page does not guess.

Watch out
the general approval rule is the only rule known for it.

get_board_items

Here too the documentation is silent. The monday.com article does not list this name, and no page describes it, so this card says nothing about its effect. The directory sheet, read on 30 September 2026, gives its name and nothing else.

Watch out
it falls under the default approval rule.

list_automations

No official description exists for this name. monday.com's tool article skips it and Claude's help centre has no page on this connector. What it does stays unknown on this page.

Watch out
the general approval rule applies, and your admin can restrict it like any tool.

create-sequence

The docs are blank on this one: listed by the directory, missing from monday.com's list, with no wording anywhere about what it involves. The page leaves it undocumented, as the sources do.

Watch out
treat it under the default approval rule.

get-timeline-items

Only the name is public. No sentence from monday.com or from Anthropic describes it, and its hyphenated spelling differs from the tools monday.com documents. That is all this card can honestly say.

Watch out
the general approval rule covers it.

create-timeline-item

There is no wording to go on for this tool. The directory lists it, monday.com's article does not, and no official page gives it a description. Guessing from the name is exactly what this page refuses to do.

Watch out
it sits under the default approval rule.

manage_agent

Nothing documented, nothing to report. The name appears on Claude's directory sheet only, and no source we read on 30 September 2026 says what it covers or who it acts for.

Watch out
the general approval rule applies until a source says otherwise.

get_monday_knowledge

Every reference we checked leaves this out: monday.com's tool article, its help pages on the connector, and Claude's documentation. The directory carries the name without a description.

Watch out
the default approval rule covers it; check its label in your connected account.

get_assets

A name without a definition. No official source describes it, and the monday.com list does not include it, so this page cannot say what it does or whether it reaches anything sensitive.

Watch out
the general approval rule applies to it.

update_doc

monday.com's published list does not include this name, and no source describes it. We report the gap and do not match it to another tool by its wording. The directory sheet, read on 30 September 2026, gives its name and nothing else.

Watch out
the default approval rule covers it.

all_api_read

No text behind this name either. The directory lists it, and monday.com's tool article never names it. Its reach is unknown, which is a good reason to look at its label in your account's tool settings.

Watch out
the general approval rule is the only known rule.

all_api_write

No official source describes this name. monday.com's article does not list it and Claude's documentation does not mention it. Without a description, the default rules are all that applies.

Watch out
the general approval rule applies, and an owner can restrict it for the organization.

search_meetings_content

No source covers this name: it is missing from monday.com's tool article and from the connector's help pages we read. What it can reach in your account is not published anywhere.

Watch out
the default approval rule applies to it as to the others.

send_feedback

Seen on the sheet, never described. No official source says what this one does, and monday.com's tool article does not name it. The directory sheet, read on 30 September 2026, gives its name and nothing else.

Watch out
the general approval rule covers it like every other tool on the sheet.

vibe_create

No explanation anywhere for this last name. It is on the directory sheet, not in monday.com's tool article, and not in any Claude documentation. This page will not invent a purpose for it.

Watch out
the default approval rule applies to it.
Approvals

What Claude asks you before it acts

By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before each action it takes on an account for you. The request shows up in the chat, at the moment it matters.

On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked every time. They can also limit what a connector may do across the whole organization, for example keep reading open and close writing. That setting applies to everyone and nobody overrides it from their own account. And Claude works with your rights and nothing more: monday.com says an assistant acting for you never sees more than you see in its interface, private boards included.

Plans

Which plans it is available on

Out of the 819 sheets in the official directory, not one shows availability by plan. The per-connector answer is published nowhere: it is a real hole in the catalogue.

The general rule is published, though. Remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner switches the connector on for the organization before each member can connect. The publisher's own help article says something narrower, which the limits section sets against this rule. For the current state on your account, check the connector's sheet in the official directory.

Limits

Where the Claude monday.com connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing starts when an item changes status, a deadline slips or a form comes in.

This page rests on monday.com's own help centre only: no Claude help article covers this connector. The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise, since an admin can open actions that no public sheet shows. The directory's partner badge is not a security audit either, and Anthropic says so on every sheet: it does not pick the tools a publisher exposes and does not vouch that they behave as announced. Connect what comes from a publisher you trust, here monday.com itself. For a connector with a clash between official sources on what it can send, read the Claude gmail connector.

Two official sources disagree

Which Claude plans can use this connector?

What this page followsNeither is stale: Anthropic's rule covers every connector, while monday.com's line targets this one and is therefore more specific. But it is the publisher talking, not Anthropic. Check the directory sheet from your own account before you trust either.

FAQ

Claude monday.com connector: frequent questions

01What can Claude do with the Claude monday.com connector?
Claude can search your monday.com account, read item updates and docs, and post or file content, all from a conversation. The directory lists 33 tools, but monday.com's own tool article only describes 11 of those names: six read, five change things by posting a comment, writing a doc, creating a workspace or folder, or moving folders and boards. The other 22 names appear without any official description, so their effect is unknown.
02Can Claude create, change or delete things in monday.com?
Yes for five documented tools, and unknown for the rest. The documented ones post updates on items, create workspaces, folders and docs, and move folders, boards or overviews. None of them is described as deleting anything. Twenty-two other names on the sheet are not documented, and no source says what they do. The default approval rule of Claude applies to all of them, documented or not, and monday.com recommends reviewing changes an assistant suggests before you confirm them.
03Does Claude ask before it acts in monday.com?
By default, yes: Claude asks for confirmation before each action it takes on an account for you. No source describes a confirmation specific to one monday.com tool, so that default rule covers comments, docs, folders and moves. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may skip some confirmations and can restrict the connector to reading. The publisher also recommends reviewing any change an assistant suggests before you confirm it in the chat.
04Which plans is it available on?
No official source from Anthropic publishes availability by plan for individual connectors, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. The general rule says remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, with an Owner enabling them first on Team and Enterprise. The publisher's own article names a narrower set of plans, quoted in the limits section. The directory sheet on your own account is the reference.
05Does Claude see every board in our monday.com account?
No, Claude sees what you see and nothing more. monday.com states that the connection respects every board and item permission, private boards included, and never escalates access. A monday.com admin can also limit the connection to chosen workspaces or cut it for everyone with one setting. On Claude's side, an owner of a Team or Enterprise workspace can also restrict what the connector may do for the whole organization, and members cannot lift it.
06Why can't I connect monday.com to Claude?
Most often because an admin setting on the monday.com side is off. monday.com has an admin setting that blocks every outside assistant at once, and a separate setting can limit the connection to certain workspaces. Only monday.com account admins can change those settings. Viewer accounts have no access through the connector at all. If none of this applies, disconnect and connect again from Claude's connector list, then retry. monday.com also notes that tool availability depends on your monday.com permissions and the AI client you use.
07Claude or an automation tool for monday.com?
They do different jobs, so it depends on the use. Claude works during a conversation: you ask, it calls a tool, you check the result. An automation tool runs in the background on a schedule or when something happens, such as an item changing status. The connector has no tool that starts by itself. For recurring updates or event-driven workflows around your boards, an automation platform is the right trade.
