Use this tool to create a new board view (tab) on a monday.com board. A view is a saved configuration — filters, sort order, and type-specific settings — that users can switch between on the board. The view type defaults to TABLE, the standard board view.

For table views where you need to configure column visibility, column order, or group-by, prefer the dedicated create_view_table tool, which exposes a strongly-typed settings field.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
boardId	`string`	Yes	The board ID to create the view on.
type	`ViewKind`	No	The type of board view to create. Defaults to `TABLE`. Use `TABLE` for standard board views.
name	`string`	No	The name of the view (e.g. "High Priority Items", "My Tasks").
filter	`object`	No	Filter configuration. Contains `rules` (an array of `{column_id, compare_value, operator}`) and an optional `operator` (logical operator between rules, defaults to `and`).
sort	`array`	No	Sort configuration. Array of `{column_id, direction}` objects. `direction` defaults to `asc`.
settings	`object`	No	Type-specific view settings as a JSON object. The shape varies by view type. For `TABLE` views, prefer create_view_table.

Filter rule operators: any_of, not_any_of, is_empty, is_not_empty, greater_than, lower_than, between, contains_text, not_contains_text (defaults to any_of).

Example

Create a table view that shows only items assigned to a specific person:

{
  "boardId": "1234567890",
  "name": "My Tasks",
  "type": "TABLE",
  "filter": {
    "rules": [
      { "column_id": "people", "compare_value": ["person-12345"], "operator": "any_of" }
    ],
    "operator": "and"
  }
}

The tool returns a confirmation with the new view's name, ID, and type.
