Use this tool to create a new dashboard in your monday.com workspace. Dashboards are visual containers that display board data through widgets — charts, counters, timelines, and more. You must connect at least one board (and up to 50) when creating the dashboard; all widgets you add later will draw data from those connected boards.

After creating a dashboard, use create_widget to populate it with visualizations. Use all_widgets_schema first to understand which widget types are available and what settings each type requires.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
name	`string`	Yes	Human-readable title for the dashboard (UTF-8 characters).
workspace_id	`string`	Yes	ID of the workspace that will own the dashboard. Use `list_workspaces` or `workspace_info` to find workspace IDs.
board_ids	`array`	Yes	List of board IDs (as strings) to connect to the dashboard. Minimum 1, maximum 50. All widgets on this dashboard will source data from these boards.
kind	`string`	No	Visibility level: `PUBLIC` or `PRIVATE`. Defaults to `PUBLIC`.
board_folder_id	`string`	No	Folder ID within the workspace to place the dashboard in. If omitted, the dashboard is placed in the workspace root.

Example

Create a public dashboard connected to a project tracking board in workspace 12406666:

{
  "name": "MCP Docs Test Dashboard",
  "workspace_id": "12406666",
  "board_ids": ["18394529013"],
  "kind": "PUBLIC"
}

The tool returned dashboard ID 37055164 and confirmed the name MCP Docs Test Dashboard. The dashboard is now available in the workspace and ready to receive widgets.
