Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations tab. 2. Find Monday MCP in the catalog and click Connect. 3. You'll redirect to Monday's OAuth consent screen — sign in with your Monday account. 4. Grant permissions for reading boards, items, and updates, plus writing new items and status changes. 5. After authorization, you'll return to Switchy with the connection active. 6. Open any Space and type '@Monday' to confirm the integration responds. 7. Test it by asking '@Monday list my open tasks' or '@Monday show boards I own'. 8. If the MCP doesn't respond, revisit Integrations to check the connection status and re-authorize if needed.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Monday MCP are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@monday show me all high-priority items assigned to the design team that are due this week
Found 7 high-priority items for the design team due by Friday. Three are in the 'Homepage Redesign' board (wireframes review, color palette approval, mobile mockups). Two are in 'Q1 Campaign Assets' (hero image variants, social templates). The remaining two are bug fixes in 'Product UI Polish'. All except the social templates are marked 'In Progress'; that one is still 'Stuck' waiting on brand guidelines.
This example shows cross-board filtering by assignee, priority, and deadline. Requires read access to all boards the design team touches. If your Monday workspace has dozens of boards, response time may stretch to 3–5 seconds as the MCP queries each one.
@monday create a new item in the 'Sprint 12' board called 'Implement OAuth refresh logic' and assign it to me with a due date of next Friday
Created item 'Implement OAuth refresh logic' in the 'Sprint 12' board (item ID: 4738291). Assigned to you (user ID: 12847). Due date set to Friday, January 17. Status defaulted to 'Not Started' per board settings. No dependencies or subtasks added yet—you can refine those in the Monday UI or with a follow-up prompt.
This example demonstrates item creation with assignment and deadline. The MCP uses your OAuth identity to resolve 'me'. If the board has required custom fields (story points, labels), you may need to specify those in the prompt or the item will be created incomplete.
@monday summarize the status of all items in the 'Product Launch' board and flag anything that's overdue or blocked
The 'Product Launch' board has 23 items. Twelve are 'Done', eight are 'In Progress', three are 'Stuck'. Two items are overdue: 'Finalize pricing page copy' (due Jan 10, assigned to Sarah) and 'Set up analytics tracking' (due Jan 12, assigned to Dev Ops). The three 'Stuck' items all cite waiting on legal review as the blocker. No items are unassigned. Overall the board is 52% complete by item count.
This example pairs Monday's data with the AI's summarization. The MCP fetches all items and their status/due-date fields; the AI interprets what's risky. Useful for standups or weekly reviews. If the board has 100+ items, consider narrowing by group or date range to keep the summary focused.
Use-case deep-dives
When Monday MCP fits async sprint rituals
A 6-person engineering team spread across three time zones runs two-week sprints and needs to pull task status, update story points, and log blockers without waiting for everyone to be online. The Monday MCP works here because OAuth2 handles credential sharing across the workspace, and the team can script recurring queries that run on a schedule—no manual board refreshes. The trade-off: if your sprint cadence changes weekly or you need real-time notifications during standups, the MCP's batch-query model adds latency that Slack integrations handle better. This MCP wins when your workflow is more "update the board overnight" than "react to changes live."
How Monday MCP automates weekly client updates
A 3-person agency manages eight client projects in Monday and sends status emails every Friday summarizing completed tasks, upcoming milestones, and budget burn. The Monday MCP lets them template those emails by querying boards for the week's activity, then feeding the structured data into a prompt that writes the narrative. OAuth2 means the whole team can run the same automation without sharing API keys. The boundary: if clients need live dashboards or want to comment directly in Monday, the MCP doesn't replace the web UI—it's for pulling data out, not facilitating collaboration. Use this when reporting is the bottleneck, not stakeholder engagement.
When Monday MCP bridges support and product teams
A 10-person SaaS company logs support tickets in Zendesk but tracks feature requests and bugs in Monday. The support lead needs to check if an incoming complaint matches an existing Monday item before escalating to engineering. The Monday MCP can query boards by keyword or custom field, return matches, and let the AI draft a response citing the relevant Monday URL. The catch: if your Monday workspace has 500+ boards or uses complex column types (dependencies, timelines), the MCP's generic query interface gets clunky—you'll spend more time debugging filters than writing tickets. This MCP fits when your Monday structure is flat and your query patterns are predictable.
Frequently asked
What does the Monday MCP do in Switchy?
It connects your Monday.com boards to Switchy's AI workspace so your team can query project status, update items, and pull task data without switching tabs. The MCP uses OAuth2 to authenticate, meaning it acts on behalf of whoever connects it and respects their Monday.com permissions. You can ask questions about timelines, assignees, or board structure and get answers grounded in your actual Monday data.
Do I need admin access to connect Monday MCP?
No, but you need a Monday.com account with read access to the boards you want Switchy to see. The OAuth2 flow will ask for specific scopes when you connect — typically read access to boards and items, sometimes write access if you want the AI to update tasks. Admin access is only required if your Monday workspace has restricted API access at the account level.
Can the Monday MCP create new boards or change workspace settings?
That depends on the scopes the MCP requests during OAuth. Most Monday integrations focus on reading and updating existing items rather than workspace-level changes like creating boards or managing users. If you need those capabilities, check the scope list during connection or use Monday's native automations alongside Switchy for structural changes.
Why use this instead of just opening Monday.com?
You use both. The MCP lets your team ask natural-language questions across multiple tools in one Switchy conversation — compare a Monday timeline with a GitHub PR or a Slack thread without juggling tabs. It's faster for status checks and cross-tool context, but you'll still open Monday directly for visual board work or bulk edits.
Who on the team should connect the Monday MCP?
Anyone with access to the boards your team needs to query. The connection is scoped to that person's Monday permissions, so if they can't see a board, Switchy can't either. For shared team use, connect it with a service account or a team lead who has visibility across relevant projects.
