Get GraphQL Schema (Platform MCP)

Fetches the monday.com GraphQL schema structure, including all available query fields, mutation fields, and a list of every type in the schema using the Platform MCP.

get_graphql_schema introspects the monday.com GraphQL schema and returns its full structure: all query fields, all mutation fields, and a complete list of GraphQL types with their kinds. Use this tool before calling all_monday_api to understand which operations are available and what types they return.

You can optionally filter results to show only read operations (query fields) or only write operations (mutation fields). This makes it easier to find a specific operation without sifting through hundreds of entries.

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
operationTypestringNoFilter results by operation type. Use "read" to return only query fields, or "write" to return only mutation fields. Omit to return both.

Example

Fetch the full schema — all queries, mutations, and types:

{}

Fetch only mutation fields to find write operations:

{
  "operationType": "write"
}

When called without parameters, the tool returns an object with three keys: query_fields (array of query field names and descriptions), mutation_fields (array of mutation field names and descriptions), and types (full list of all GraphQL types in the schema). For example, among the query fields you'll find entries like:

  • boards — Get a collection of boards
  • items — Get a collection of items
  • users — Get users
  • workspaces — Get a collection of workspaces

And among the mutation fields:

  • create_board — Create a new board
  • create_item — Create a new item
  • change_multiple_column_values — Changes the column values of a specific item

Programmatic equivalent

You can retrieve the same information by running a GraphQL introspection query directly against the monday.com API:

{
  __schema {
    queryType { name }
    mutationType { name }
    types {
      name
      kind
    }
  }
}

For human-readable documentation of every query and mutation, see the monday.com API reference.
