Product updates

Hi everyone,I’m Dominik Kostencki, a software developer on monday’s marketplace team.We’ve just released a new update that enables developers to grant discounts to accounts on their active plan or on future plans they may choose.You can now apply discounts to any account - subscribed or not - without requiring users to cancel their subscription or uninstall the app. You decide whether the discount applies to the customer’s current plan or to specific plans they might move to next, giving you more control over upgrade paths and pricing flexibility.This provides new flexibility for retention campaigns, rewarding loyal customers, and offering personalized incentives with minimal friction. It’s been a highly requested capability for partners looking to optimize their monetization strategy, and we’re excited to make it available to all marketplace partners.Learn more here:Create a discount Delete a discount Discounts - general API 

We just released a major improvement to how lifecycle events work in monday apps. This update gives you greater flexibility in deciding which events your app listens to and how you want them delivered.What’s newUntil now, external developers could subscribe only to app-level lifecycle events (such as install or uninstall), which are configured at the app level and sent to a single webhook URL.With this release, we’re introducing lifecycle events at the app feature level. These events are triggered by user interactions with the features, giving you fine-grained control over how your app responds to those actions.You can now subscribe your app only to the feature-level events you care about, route them to different URLs, choose sync or async handling per event, and clearly identify which feature triggered an event using app_slug::feature_slug.Feature-level lifecycle subscriptions are managed through a new GraphQL API. App-level lifecycle events remain unchanged.What you can do nowFeature-level lifecycle events are now supported across several app feature types, including Objects, Board Views, Column Extensions, and Columns, allowing you to:Set up event subscriptions per app feature Assign different webhook URLs for different event types Choose sync or async handling per event Work with cleaner event identifiers using slugs Test or update event subscriptions directly through GraphQLIf there are other feature types or additional events you’d like supported, feel free to reply or submit a feature request.To get started, make sure the Active Version capability is enabled and that your app and app features have defined slugs. It allows you to select which app version is active in your test environment, ensuring that lifecycle events are triggered from the version you expect.Why this mattersThis upgrade gives you clear visibility into how users interact with your app’s features and lets you respond to those interactions outside the scope of your app’s code.Instead of relying only on in-app logic, you can now observe feature usage patterns through lifecycle events and react when users create, duplicate, or delete parts of your app. This makes it easier to understand how features are being used and to trigger follow-up actions reliably.For example, you might route board view duplication events to one service and handle column extension deletions in another, depending on the structure of your app.We’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, and use cases as we continue to expand these capabilities across the apps framework.Dive into the documentation and start implementing app feature-level lifecycle webhooks for your app.

We’re introducing Object storage for monday code (BLOB), a native way for apps to store large files directly within the monday infrastructure.Object storage is designed for large, unstructured data such as media files, documents and generated assets. It enables apps to store and retrieve files efficiently and cost-effectively, without relying on external storage services.Why this mattersMany apps need to store or generate files: exports, media assets, AI outputs, or reports. Until now, this often meant working around storage limits or integrating third-party file storage.With native Object storage, you can: Store large files at scale without hitting existing storage limits  Keep all customer data within monday, increasing trust and simplifying governance Eliminate external storage setup, credentials, and operational overhead Build file-heavy and AI-driven workflows more easily. If your app creates, processes, or persists files, Obejct storage is the right foundation.What you can doEach app gets one managed storage bucket, with new SDK methods to: Upload files from the client or server Download, delete, and list files Access file metadata 👉 Read the full documentation to learn how to use Object storage and get started

Hi marketplace partners and developers,We’re happy to share a big improvement to your monday.com developer experience.Until now, developer accounts were limited to monday Work Management. We’ve now expanded access to help you build for more use cases and test your apps between monday product suite.What’s New:Full product access: Build and test across monday Work Management, CRM, Service, and Dev. Test with your team: Invite up to 10 users to simulate realistic workflows and collaboration. Higher limits: Use up to 25,000 automation or integration actions per month, with a 10 million API complexity budget.Need More?If your app requires additional testing capacity, submit a request here in the community and we’ll review it promptly.Watch the Launch VideoWant a quick tour of the new developer experience?🎥 Watch the launch video to see what's possible and how to get the most from your upgraded account.Get Started:Already have a developer account? No action needed, your account has been upgraded automatically. New to building on monday? Sign up here to get started.This upgrade gives you more tools and flexibility to build high-quality apps across the entire monday platform. We can’t wait to see what you create. 

We’re introducing App and App Feature slugs to make app identification clearer, and safer.Instead of relying on numeric IDs, apps and features will now use human-readable, globally unique slugs that are easy to recognize and reference.For new apps, slugs must follow a clear structure based on your account slug, and you can add slugs to existing apps in the General settings page.Existing apps continue to work as-is, with full backward compatibility.When updating features in the Developer Center, you’ll be prompted to set a feature slug. Check the docs and get started in the Developer Center to explore how app and app feature slugs work. 

Hi partners and builders,monday is consolidating all automation feature creation into a single, workflows-based infrastructure. This powers how customers build automations today and will continue to power all new automation experiences going forward, including the new automation builder, monday workflows, and monday sidekick.As part of this shift, apps built on the legacy “integration for sentence builder” feature must migrate to the new infrastructure by April 30, 2026 to remain available in these automation experiences.This migration is required, and it’s also the moment where automation features move from being tied to a single builder to becoming reusable capabilities across monday. What this means for your appMigrating your automation features ensures your app remains visible and usable wherever customers build automations going forward.Apps that migrate will continue to appear in the new automation builders as they roll out more broadly. Apps that don’t migrate won’t be available when users create new automations.Existing customer automations built on the legacy infrastructure will continue running during the transition period. Why this migration is valuableThis migration is required, but it also unlocks meaningful long-term benefits for your app:Broader reach and distributionYour automation features become available wherever customers create automations on monday, expanding discovery and usage without additional rebuilds.One build for all automation experiencesThe same automation blocks power automations, workflows, and AI-assisted experiences, removing the need to rebuild or remap features for each new surface.Lower long-term maintenanceCentralized authentication with Credentials and typed fields reduces custom logic, mapping issues, and ongoing support overhead.Richer customer use casesYour app becomes a reusable building block in multi-step workflows, enabling more advanced, higher-value automation scenarios without additional work. What’s changingLegacy “integration for sentence builder” features are not compatible with the new automation builders. As these builders become the default way customers create automations, only apps that have migrated will appear there.Existing automations created with the legacy infrastructure will continue running for now. We’ll provide advance notice before any changes to legacy execution support. How migration worksTo reduce the effort involved, we built a self-service migration wizard in the Developer Center.The wizard automatically converts your legacy features into the new automation components where possible, preserves your existing production setup until you publish, and clearly flags anything that requires manual review.You remain fully in control throughout the process. You can review the migrated features, test them in the new automation builder or monday workflows, and publish when you’re ready. Existing customer automations will continue to run until they’re fully deprecated.What you need to doPlease complete the migration by April 30, 2026.Open the Developer Center, select your app, create a new draft version, and go to the Features tab. Click Migrate next to each legacy integration feature. Review and test the migrated features. Publish the new version when ready.Important: Because existing automations continue running on the legacy infrastructure, you’ll need to keep your legacy feature and backend active until those automations are fully deprecated.You can find detailed instructions in the migration guide. If you have technical questions, submit a support ticket, or join the dedicated group to share feedback.

Hi everyone!As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the stability and reliability of monday code we’ve identified that the current Secure Storage limits are too permissive which impose constant stability risks to our Secure Storage solution which have a negative impact on many app developers and monday customers (“noisy neighbour problem”). In order to reduce this risk we’ll be lowering this limit over the next few weeks from the current limit of 30 requests per second to 7 requests per second.This will impact a very small number of apps which currently do not use any method of caching for fetching tokens from the Secure Storage. The final ETA for this change is February 2nd Greg

Recently, monday.com launched sidekick - an intelligent, context-aware AI assistant that understands the customer’s work and helps turn intent into action - directly inside monday.com. sidekick can summarize updates, answer questions using board context, and trigger actions without switching tools.For marketplace partners, sidekick opens a new touch point where your product can show up exactly when users need it. You can now build skills that customers trigger in sidekick to run focused, predictable actions powered by your app. Skills are context-aware, on-demand, and designed to deliver a clear outcome every time. They are available through the marketplace so customers can discover and install them like any other app. What is a skillA skill is a narrowly scoped capability you expose to sidekick from your monday app. When a user triggers it, the skill performs a defined sequence and returns a clear, repeatable result in the conversation. The skills framework is now open to all marketplace partners. Any existing app can add skills, and new apps can be built as skill-first experiences that appear directly inside sidekick.Skills meet users where they already work - inside sidekick, boards, and workflows - which naturally increases usage and stickiness for your app. They package your domain expertise into trusted, repeatable actions and benefit from built-in distribution to monday’s customer base.Great skills focus on a single meaningful outcome. Instead of recreating your full product, start with the actions your app performs best - high-impact actions that customers can trigger right inside sidekick.Skills also receive prominent visibility in the new AI Skills tab in the marketplace. This dedicated space highlights apps that provide sidekick skills, giving partners a new discovery surface and a direct way to stand out to customers exploring AI capabilities. Adding a skill to your app is now one of the most impactful ways to increase adoption and expand your reach across monday accounts. How it works - at a glanceA user asks sidekick to execute a certain task, sidekick selects a matching skill, calls your app, and shows the result in the conversation - moving from ask to action without context switching. Under the hood, this is handled through automation blocks in your app. Inputs are passed as primitives, and you can use the user credentials feature for OAuth and secure token storage, so you can focus on logic rather than custom auth.  What teams can already do with sidekicksidekick already supports a range of built-in actions that help teams summarize, generate, and update information directly from their boards. These patterns make strong foundations for partner-built skills.Teams use sidekick today to:Summarize updates or items to get quick insights without opening multiple views. Write or rewrite content such as task descriptions or emails in a defined tone or style. Run operational actions like updating statuses, assigning owners, or creating follow-up items.These examples set customer expectations for what sidekick can do - and what they’ll expect from partner skills.When building a skill, start with a pattern customers already recognize in sidekick, then show how your app extends it - for example, by adding domain expertise, pulling data from your app, or automating a next step.Examples from early design partnersHere are a few examples of how apps are extending sidekick with domain-specific expertise:SuperMail - Generate, send, and track emails directly from sidekick, based on the context of the board and the conversation.Tracket - Log time, submit timesheets, and surface reporting insights through Sidekick, helping teams track effort and billing without manual navigation.Triggerly - Generate QR codes to instantly update inventory, assets, or field activity in monday.com, turning real-world actions into structured updates.Mailchimp Integration Plus - Sync leads and surface campaign status directly from sidekick, keeping marketing execution and visibility in one place.Microsoft 365 SharePoint - Create folders, sync files, and extract data from PDF, Word, or Excel on demand, directly from a sidekick prompt.Outlook Calendar Integration Plus - Schedule a meeting directly from within sidekick. These examples show how skills work best when they focus on a single, repeatable outcome - taking an action users already want to perform, and making it instant, contextual, and reliable inside sidekick. Get startedDeveloper documentation for building sidekick skills Sample apps

Hi partners 👋We’d like to share an upcoming change related to the Integration for Sentence Builder feature.In two weeks (Jan 26th), we’ll be moving the Integration for Sentence Builder app feature into maintenance-only mode.This means:🚫 Creating new Integration for Sentence Builder features will be blocked ✏️ Existing Integration for Sentence Builder features can still be edited and maintained 🛠️ The feature in your app will be supported for maintenance only, with no new capabilities addedWe’re making this change as we continue to invest in and evolve our newer automation infrastructure, which offers improved security, scalability, and reuse across monday products.If you’re currently using Integration for Sentence Builder, there’s no immediate action required. If you’re planning new integrations, we recommend building them using our newer integration capabilities instead.We’ll be sharing documentation and guidance on how to build equivalent integrations on the new infrastructure to help with the transition.As always, feel free to reach out in the community or through our developer channels if you have questions.Thanks for building with us,NoaProduct Manager, Automation Frameworkmonday.com 

You can now test any app version locally by setting it as your active version. Once selected, your personal development environment will run that version so you can test in isolation or compare it with production, without impacting end users. This setting applies only to your local environment.By default, the most recently created version is set as active. You can manually choose any live, gradual release, or draft version for internal testing.Not supported for active version testingWorkspace templates Integration for sentence builder (Read here the latest news about the New Automation Builder)How to designate an active versionIn the left-side menu, go to Manage > App Versions Find the version you want to test and click the three dots in the Actions column Select Set as active versionRead the full documentation here >If you try it out, let us know what workflows it helps with and what you would like to see supported next.

Hi Everyone!We have some news regarding monday code, our hosting service for monday apps.To better support our global customer community and meet growing data residency needs, we are expanding our infrastructure.Starting January 2026, we are officially adding Israel (IL) as our fourth hosting region, joining our existing locations in the US, AUS, and EU.What this means for developersThis is a significant update for anyone maintaining multi-region apps. Please take note of the following requirements and limitations as you prepare for the rollout: Mandatory IL deployment: If you have an existing multi-region app, deployment to the IL region will now be mandatory when promoting a new version to "Live." Scheduler availability: At this time, the monday code Scheduler is not supported in the IL region. If your app relies on scheduled jobs, please plan your regional logic accordingly. Why is this happening?As more customers move toward regional data residency, it is essential that the apps they use and the apps' data live in the same region as their account's data. By making IL a standard part of our multi-region offering, we ensure a seamless and compliant experience for all users based in Israel.Next steps Review your app versions: Check your current draft versions in the Developer Center. Update your deployment scripts: Ensure your CI/CD or manual deployment steps include the new IL region flag. Audit your Cron Jobs: If you use the Scheduler, ensure your app can handle the lack of scheduler support in IL without breaking core functionality. Get the Full Technical DetailsBefore you promote your next app version, please review our updated documentation to understand the deployment flow and regional requirements.Read the docs here> 

Hello everyone,Over the past months, we’ve been rebuilding the foundation that powers automations on monday. This new, workflows-based infrastructure now drives how automations are built across the platform, including the new automation builder, monday workflows, and future automation experiences.In the coming weeks, we’ll begin gradually rolling out the new automation builder. This rollout is part of a broader shift toward a single, shared automation foundation that allows automation features to be reused across multiple experiences, rather than being tied to a single builder.What this means at a high level: Existing automations will continue running as they do today. There’s no immediate action required. To continue appearing in the new automation experiences as they rollout, apps with automation features will need to migrate to this new foundation. Starting today, we are running an A/B test for the new Automation Builder, which will be rolled out to 5% of users who are creating automations from scratch. As a result, a small number of users might not see your app blocks when building an automation from scratch. If the test proves successful, we will gradually extend the rollout to all users, aiming for full implementation by March 2026. This A/B test, along with the overall rollout of the new builder, will not affect automation recipes, the automation center, or running automations at this stage. To support this transition, we’ll provide a self-service migration wizard that will help partners and app developers move their existing automation features to the new infrastructure with minimal manual work. We’ll share full details, guidance, and timelines in a follow-up announcement.

TL;DRDocument DB is now GA and production-ready Alpha/Beta users: no migration required and no data loss New CLI command: 30-min read-only connection for local inspection to production databases from your local machine Clearer guidance for regions, limits, and multi-region apps  Hello everyone!After working closely with many of you during the Alpha and Beta phases and learning from your feedback and real-world usage, we are excited to announce that monday code Document DB is now Generally Available and ready to power your production workloads.Thanks to the deep engagement from many of you during Alpha and Beta, Document DB has evolved into a robust, reliable, and developer-friendly database solution fully integrated with the monday code hosting platform.This release reflects real developer feedback and real usage patterns, with better tooling, clearer behavior, and a smoother experience overall.What is Document DB?Document DB is a MongoDB-compatible persistent storage solution built specifically for monday code apps. Fully hosted on monday.com infrastructure, it allows you to store and manage your app’s data securely and reliably without managing your own database.You can use any MongoDB-compatible client library to connect directly from your app.What changed based on your feedback?As part of the transition to GA, we made several improvements based on Alpha and Beta feedback:A new CLI command that generates a temporary 30-minute read-only connection string for inspecting and debugging data from your local machine Clearer documentation around database-per-region behavior and multi-region support Improved explanations of limits and what happens when limits are reached Documentation refinements and clarifications across the boardProduction readyDocument DB is fully production-ready.All data created during Alpha and Beta is preserved, and no migration is required. If you previously participated in Alpha or Beta, you have been automatically transitioned to GA with no action required.Getting startedOnce your app is deployed, a new environment variable called MNDY_MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING is available in your monday code production environment and accessible via the SDK. This connection string lets your app connect directly to the database using any MongoDB-compatible library.After your first deployment, you can also generate a temporary read-only connection string using the Apps CLI version 4.10.2 or higher:mapps database:connection-stringThis is useful for viewing data, debugging, and general inspection from your local machine.Regional behavior and data residencyEach monday code region has its own separate database to ensure data residency in the same region as the monday account.If your app is single-region today, your database will be created in that region. If your app serves customers globally, we strongly recommend enabling multi-region support before storing production data. Once multi-region is enabled and your app is deployed to all regions, a separate database is created per region.Data is not synced between regions, and we do not currently provide tools to migrate data between regions.We would love your feedbackAlthough Document DB is now Generally Available, your feedback remains extremely valuable. We would love to hear about:Performance Ease of use Feature requests Documentation clarity Any issues or challenges you encounter  Read the full Document DB docs here, and please share your feedback in the Document DB community group or reply here.Thank you to everyone who participated in Alpha and Beta and helped us get Document DB to this point. We are excited to see what you build with it.

Hi developers,We’re continuing to evolve monday’s developer platform to align with modern JavaScript runtimes and frameworks. As part of this, we’re updating our guidance for how apps should make server-side API calls.What’s changingModern Node versions (Node 18+) include native fetch. Because monday-sdk-js relies on node-fetch for server-side usage, this can cause errors in modern JavaScript frameworks such as Next.js.Because of this, and based on how the platform has evolved, we are updating our recommended approach for server-side API interactions.Server-side usage of monday-sdk-js is being deprecatedWe are deprecating server-side usage of monday-sdk-js.In an upcoming major release of monday-sdk-js (v1.0.0), all server-side support will be removed. Client-side usage is not affected at this time.This is a deprecation notice, not a breaking change. Existing versions of monday-sdk-js will continue to work, but no new server-side features or compatibility fixes will be added. What to use insteadFor all server-side interactions with the monday platform API, @mondaydotcomorg/api is now the recommended and officialy supported SDK.This SDK:Uses native fetch Fully supports modern JS frameworks Provides full TypeScript support Offers improved developer experienceMigrating is straightforwardYou can continue using your existing GraphQL queries. The new SDK supports passing query strings directly.Server-side exampleimport { ApiClient } from "@mondaydotcomorg/api";const client = new ApiClient({ token });const result = await client.request<{ boards: { name: string }[] }>( `query { boards(ids: some_id) { name } }`);Client-side usageClient-side API calls are still supported in two ways:Continue using monday-sdk-js for view apps Or use @mondaydotcomorg/api, including the SeamlessApiClient, which does not require an API token in monday view appsWhat you should do nowIf your app:Uses modern js frameworks (such as Next.js 14+) Makes API calls from the backenYou should plan to migrate server-side logic to @mondaydotcomorg/apiThanks for building with monday.The monday Apps Framework team 💙 

We are introducing a new Security Scanning capability in the monday code deployment pipeline, now available for all monday developers.This feature analyzes your deployment for vulnerabilities across both dependencies and code. Each scan generates a structured JSON report and a clear CLI summary, making it easier to understand issues and take action when needed.What the feature includesDeploy with automated security scanning using code:push -s Get a clean, human-readable summary of findings with code:report Download the full JSON scan results using code:report -o Identify issues efficiently with file paths, line references, severity indicators and links to relevant CVEs or rule documentationScans are informational-only and do not block deployments, giving you a frictionless way to explore the feature while strengthening your app’s security.We’d appreciate your feedback on report clarity, severity categorization and how well this integrates into your deployment workflow through this thread.Read the docs here & enjoy coding, Shahar from Apps Framework 

Following our recent launch of the Column View feature, which enable app builders to create custom interactions for status and dropdown columns, we’re sharing the next major milestone: Formula and People columns are now fully supported.This update unlocks a new level of flexibility for builders who want to create rich, domain-specific logic and user experiences directly inside the board.What you can now build: Advanced logic with custom Formula columns - create calculations, validations, or dynamic business rules tailored to your use case. People-driven workflows with custom People columns - assign responsibilities, manage ownership, or build collaborative features that rely on users and teams. As always, we’d love to hear what you’re creating, get your feedback, and showcase your work here in the community.Thank you for helping shape what’s possible on monday.com as we continue evolving the platform together.

Hi everyone,I’m Dominik Kostencki, a software developer on monday’s marketplace team.We’ve just rolled out two updates that help you better understand user churn and analyze your app’s performance with greater flexibility.View unsubscribe reasonsYou can now see unsubscribe reasons alongside uninstall reasons in the Application Management Product (AMP).This provides a complete picture of why users stop using or paying for your app, helping you spot trends and take action to improve retention.Install AMP app and read the documentation Export analytics data to CSVEvery analytics widget in the Developer Center now includes an Export to CSV option, so you can easily download it for deeper analysis of your app’s performance Learn more hereTogether, these updates bring you closer to your users - helping you learn, adapt, and build even better experiences for your customers.

AI coding agents and assistants like Cursor, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini Code are already part of how developers build apps. But until now, they couldn’t interact with the monday apps framework itself - you still had to jump back into the Developer Center to create features, manage versions, or deploy updates.The monday apps MCP (Model Context Protocol) changes that by connecting your AI agent directly to the monday apps framework, giving it secure access to build, configure, and deploy monday apps faster than ever - all without leaving your development environment. What it means for youThe monday apps MCP gives AI agents deep access to the monday apps framework - exposing the same tools you use to create apps, add features, manage versions, and handle deployments.This means you can scaffold new apps in minutes, iterate on features instantly, and manage your entire app lifecycle through natural language conversations inside your coding agent.Through the MCP, your AI agent can:Create and configure apps - Name, describe, and add features like board views, dashboard widgets, or custom columns. Manage versions and promotions - List all versions, see which one’s live, and promote drafts to production. Handle monday code deployments - Check deployment status, view logs, and manage environment variables. Search and export app storage - Query data by keyword and export results as JSON or CSV for analysis or migration.How it helps you build betterInstead of clicking through multiple screens to set up features, deploy code, or check logs, you can describe what you want - and your AI agent handles the rest.You can ask:"Create a new monday app called 'Customer Health Analyzer'" "Add a board view and a dashboard widget to this app" "Check the deployment status and show me any errors" "Show me all versions of app 12345 and promote the latest draft if the deployment status is successful" Your AI agent executes it directly through the apps framework - no tab-switching, no setup friction. That means more time for design, strategy, and customer value, and less time on boilerplate configuration.Your AI agent executes it directly through the apps framework - no tab-switching, no setup friction.That means more time for design, strategy, and customer value, and less time on boilerplate configuration. How to get startedConnect your AI coding agent Compatible with Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, Copilot, Gemini Code, and other MCP-supported agents. Requirements: Node.js v20+, npm v5.2+, and a monday.com API token. Setup: Follow the integration guide for detailed instructions.   Configure your MCP client to use monday-api-mcp with --mode apps. Example configuration (format may vary by client): { "monday-apps-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp@latest", "-t", "YOUR_API_TOKEN", "--mode", "apps" ] }} Replace your_monday_API_token with your actual monday.com API token. The MCP uses your existing monday.com API token and permissions. Your AI agent can only perform actions you’re authorized to take within the apps framework - nothing more.   Create your first AI-assisted app Prompt your AI agent to create a test app, add a dashboard widget, or manage your existing app versions - all in one workflow. Go even further with your AI agentOnce you’ve got the basics running, you can take it a step further. By giving your AI agent access to additional monday developer tools and resources, it can learn from our guidelines, use real examples, and generate code and design that are aligned with monday.com best practices.Add these tools to your mcpServers configuration to unlock the fullstack:monday-welcome-apps - Gives your AI access to simple example apps to understand basic structure. monday-kitchen-sink - A comprehensive showcase of features and capabilities for the AI to reference. monday-code-quickstarts - Boilerplate code for different languages and frameworks. monday-code-python-sdk - Context on using our official Python SDK for backend logic. monday official design system - Connects your AI to the Vibe Design System, ensuring generated UIs look native to monday.com. monday-platform-mcp - Gives your AI access to read/write data on your account (create test boards, items, etc) to verify your app works.Suggested fullstack configuration:{ "mcpServers": { "monday-apps-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp", "-t", "YOUR_TOKEN", "--mode", "apps"] }, "monday-platform-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp", "-t", "YOUR_TOKEN"] }, "monday-welcome-apps": { "url": "https://gitmcp.io/mondaycom/welcome-apps" }, "monday-kitchen-sink": { "url": "https://gitmcp.io/mondaycom/monday-kitchen-sink" }, "monday-code-quickstarts": { "url": "https://gitmcp.io/mondaycom/monday-code-quickstarts" }, "monday-code-python-sdk": { "url": "https://gitmcp.io/mondaycom/monday-code-python-sdk" }, "vibe": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@vibe/mcp"] } }}Try it and share your experienceWe’re excited to see what you’ll build when AI becomes part of your monday app development flow.Share with us your experiences - from apps you’ve scaffolded using AI to ideas for new MCP tools or workflows that could make building even smoother.

Building workflow blocks and integrating external apps just became even more accessible. Our latest update introduces API token authentication for the credential feature, alongside the familiar (and recommended) OAuth support you already know.This enhancement allows you to:Build scalable integrations faster than ever Connect to more external services, including those that don’t support OAuth Simplify credential development and handlingWith API token support, you can now expand your integrations across more platforms and use cases. We plan to add custom credentials in the near future, so please send your feedback and feature requests our way.👉 Learn more about using the credentials app feature in our documentation 

Dear Builders,We’re thrilled to announce the general availability of a new capability on monday.com: Custom Columns, starting with the Open Status & Open Dropdown column types.This new capability allows you to build your own columns, fully integrated into the monday board, our most powerful and widely used workspace. It’s a leap forward in enabling domain: specific workflows that seamlessly fit your users’ needs.What’s now possible:Create domain-specific columns: Tailor dropdown or status options with your own logic (e.g., deal stages, project health, approval statuses).Launch with confidence: this capability has already been tested in beta, where several builders used it to create and deploy powerful apps with real customer adoption.Distribute through the column store: users can now discover your custom column directly from the monday UI, as part of your app.Why this matters:The board is our central real estate, custom columns let you extend it with more power than ever before. You can now deepen your integration, differentiate your product, and even explore monetization strategies through unique in-column experiences. This is just the beginning. We’re starting with status and dropdown columns, with more planned as we continue expanding platform extensibility in 2025 and 2026 .Explore the documentationLet us know what you’re building: we’d love to showcase it in our upcoming webinars and community spotlights.As always, your feedback shapes what we build next.Thank you for continuing to help us push the boundaries of what’s possible on monday.com.
