Monday Board Management

Trigger

• User wants to create a new board
• User needs to add, modify, or delete columns or groups
• User wants to duplicate, archive, or delete a board
• User asks about board permissions or structure
• User needs to configure board views or settings

Required Inputs

• Board name (for creation) or board ID (for modification)
• Board kind: public, private, or share
• Workspace ID (optional, defaults to Main workspace)
• Column definitions: type + title for each column

Workflow

1. If the target board is unknown, use search (searchType: BOARD) to find it, or get_user_context for recently accessed boards.
2. Use get_board_info to inspect current board structure (columns, groups, views, owners).
3. For creation: use create_board with name, kind, optional workspace/folder.
4. For columns: use create_column with board ID, column type, and title. Check get_column_type_info for valid types and settings.
5. For groups: use create_group with board ID and group name.
6. For operations not covered by dedicated MCP tools (duplicate, archive, delete, permissions, delete groups/columns), use all_monday_api with the appropriate GraphQL mutation.
7. Confirm the result by re-fetching board info.

Example Interaction

User: Create a project tracking board with status, timeline, and person columns in my "Engineering" workspace.

Agent:

1. search for "Engineering" workspace via list_workspaces
2. create_board(boardName: "Project Tracking", boardKind: "public", workspaceId: "...")
3. create_column(boardId: "...", columnType: "status", columnTitle: "Status")
4. create_column(boardId: "...", columnType: "timeline", columnTitle: "Timeline")
5. create_column(boardId: "...", columnType: "people", columnTitle: "Owner")

MCP Usage

Tool	When to use
create_board	Create a new board
create_group	Add a group to a board
create_column	Add a column to a board
get_board_info	Inspect board structure, columns, groups, views
get_column_type_info	Look up column type schema before creating
search	Find boards by name
all_monday_api	Archive, delete, duplicate boards; set permissions; delete groups/columns

GraphQL recipes for gap operations:

Archive a board:

mutation { archive_board(board_id: 1234567890) { id } }

Delete a board:

mutation { delete_board(board_id: 1234567890) { id } }

Duplicate a board:

mutation { duplicate_board(board_id: 1234567890, duplicate_type: duplicate_board_with_structure) { board { id } } }

Set board permissions:

mutation { set_board_permission(board_id: 1234567890, basic_role_name: viewer) { edit_permissions } }

Common Pitfalls

• create_board has a rate limit of 40 mutations per minute
• duplicate_board is asynchronous and may return partial data initially
• Board permissions mutation requires Enterprise plan and board owner role
• Column type names are specific enums (e.g., status, timeline, people, not person)
• When creating columns, use get_column_type_info to get valid columnSettings JSON
