monday.com MCP servers: which one to use
Use monday.com's own server: it is hosted and you sign in with your account. Use a community server only for a local setup with a personal API token.

monday.com runs its own MCP server, and it is the one to use. You add one address to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and sign in with your monday.com account, with nothing to install. The community servers are third-party, and they need an API token or a separate account. The official server can change and delete data, so review changes before you approve them.
Good for
- Teams who want Claude or ChatGPT to update monday.com boards and items
- Admins who need to limit which workspaces AI apps can reach
- Developers who want a local server with their own API token
- Teams already using WayStation to connect several work apps
Which monday.com MCP server to use
Use the official monday.com server unless you need to run locally. Pick Prat011's server for a small local setup with a personal API token, or WayStation if you want one hosted account for several work apps.

Questions
Is there an official monday.com MCP server?
Yes. monday.com runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.monday.com/mcp, where you add the address to your assistant and sign in with your monday.com account. It publishes the code in its mondaycom/mcp repo.
Does the monday.com MCP server work in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor?
Yes. monday.com's own guide lists Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor as assistants you can connect, and the Claude connectors directory has a monday.com listing.
Can the monday.com MCP server delete my data?
Yes. monday.com's tool list includes a general API tool that can run any change, including deletes. Review each change before you approve it.
Is there a read-only monday.com MCP server?
Only for the local server, which monday.com says can be started read-only. The hosted server has no read-only switch, so ask a monday.com admin to limit which workspaces AI apps can reach.
Can my admin control who uses it?
Yes. monday.com admins control outside AI access under AI permissions and can restrict MCP to chosen workspaces. Users cannot bypass those settings.
Do I need an API token?
Not for the hosted official server, which uses account sign-in. The local official server and Prat011's server need a personal API token from your monday.com account.
What is the difference between the official server and WayStation?
WayStation is a hosted hub from a third party that connects Monday along with Notion, Asana, Jira and other apps. Its README says its original local server is deprecated in favor of the hosted one at waystation.ai.
What does Prat011's mcp-server-monday offer?
A local server with 16 tools in its README for boards, items, groups and docs, including delete and archive. It runs with uvx or Docker and needs your monday.com API key and workspace name.
Is the monday.com MCP server free?
The server code is open source in monday.com's mondaycom/mcp repo, and you need a monday.com account either way. Which monday.com plans include MCP access is not covered here, so check monday.com's own pricing and MCP guide.
