all_monday_api is the most powerful tool in the Platform MCP server. It executes any raw GraphQL query or mutation against the monday.com API, giving you access to every operation the platform supports. Use it when no other specialized MCP tool covers your use case, or when you need fine-grained control over which fields are returned.

Before calling this tool, use get_graphql_schema to discover available queries and mutations, and get_type_details to understand the shape of the types you need. Only request the fields you actually need — over-fetching increases complexity costs and slows responses.

🚧Crafting effective GraphQL requires familiarity with the monday.com schema. Use get_graphql_schema and get_type_details first to validate your query structure before executing it.

Parameters

Example

Query the first 3 boards in the account to retrieve their IDs and names:

{
  "query": "query { boards(limit: 3) { id name } }",
  "variables": "{}"
}

This returns a list of boards like:

{
  "boards": [
    { "id": "18412502571", "name": "MCP Docs Form Responses" },
    { "id": "18412502554", "name": "Subitems of Tickets" },
    { "id": "18412502553", "name": "Tickets" }
  ]
}

For a mutation with variables — for example, creating an item — pass variable values as a serialized JSON string:

{
  "query": "mutation ($boardId: ID!, $groupId: String!, $name: String!) { create_item(board_id: $boardId, group_id: $groupId, item_name: $name) { id name } }",
  "variables": "{\"boardId\": \"12345678\", \"groupId\": \"topics\", \"name\": \"New task\"}"
}

Programmatic equivalent

all_monday_api is a direct proxy to the monday.com GraphQL API. You can run the same queries and mutations by sending a POST request to https://api.monday.com/v2 with your API token and the query in the request body.

For the full list of available queries, mutations, and types, see the monday.com API reference.
