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.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | Yes | The name of the new workspace. |
| workspaceKind | string | Yes | The type of workspace to create. One of: open, closed, or template. Open workspaces are visible to all account members; closed workspaces require an explicit invite. |
| description | string | No | A short description of the workspace's purpose. |
| accountProductId | string | No | The account product ID to associate with the workspace (e.g., to scope the workspace to a specific monday product like CRM or Dev). |
Example
Create an open workspace for a product team with a description:
{
"name": "Product Team Q3",
"workspaceKind": "open",
"description": "All boards and docs for the Q3 product roadmap"
}When tested, this returned: Workspace 15420091 successfully created with the URL https://monday.monday.com/workspaces/15420091. The workspace was immediately accessible and ready to receive folders and boards.
