Create Workspace (Platform MCP)

Creates a new workspace in your monday.com account with a specified name, kind, and optional description using the Platform MCP.

Use this tool to create a new workspace in your monday.com account. Workspaces are the top-level organizational containers in monday.com—everything from boards and docs to folders lives inside a workspace. You can create open workspaces (visible to all account members), closed workspaces (invite-only), or template workspaces.

Note: Creating a workspace requires sufficient permissions on your monday.com account. The workspace is immediately active after creation and can be further configured with folders, boards, and members.

accountProductIdstringNoThe account product ID to associate with the workspace (e.g., to scope the workspace to a specific monday product like CRM or Dev).

Example
