monday.com — Docs — Zero Human OS

This is an Express tool. Zero Human has already set up the server address, the permissions and the sign-in, so you connect it by pressing Connect and signing in with your own account. What Express is.

What a member can do

Read boards, groups, columns and items, and search across the account.
Create and update boards, items and column values, and move items between groups.
Post updates on items and send notifications to users.
Create and update monday docs, and create dashboards, widgets and forms.

Each task names the monday.com tools it may call. monday on a task means every tool the monday.com server offers; a name such as monday.<tool> means that tool alone. A tool the task does not name is refused, whatever the connection allows.

Who connects it

A monday.com connection acts as the monday.com account that signed in when it was connected. It can do what that account can do, and no more.

Anyone who may change tools in your enterprise can connect monday.com for a member or a team. Connecting it for the whole enterprise is for the owner, and the people the owner allows.

A connection can sit on the enterprise, a team, a member, a role or a task, and the one further down replaces the one above: task, then role, then member, then team, then enterprise. A connection on anything but a task also reaches the chat of every member it covers.

What waits for you

In a run, nothing on monday.com waits for you unless the task declares a gate on it. To approve each change before it happens, gate the tools that change something on the task. See Gates and tool scopes.

In a chat, a monday.com tool that its server does not mark as read-only asks you before it runs, unless you chose Always allow for that member and tool.

Setup

Before you connect

MCP calls count towards the account's daily API limit. If sign-in fails, a monday.com admin may need to allow it under Admin, Permissions, AI Connectors.

Connect it

monday.com is an Express tool, so there is no server address, key or app to set up. Work in one browser window throughout: the sign-in returns to the portal in the window you started from.

In the portal, open the member's page → Tools. To connect it for a team or the whole enterprise, open Tools in the sidebar.
Under Express, find monday.com and choose Connect. On the Tools page you are asked who uses it: one member, a team or the whole enterprise.
monday.com's sign-in opens. Sign in with the account the member should work as, and approve what it asks for.
You are back on Tools, and monday.com shows as connected.
Name the tools on the task, monday for all of them or each by name.
Check it. Run a task that reads something from monday.com. The run page shows the call and what came back.

You can take the access back at any time: delete the connection on Tools, or remove Zero Human OS from the connected apps in your monday.com account.

A first task to try

With monday.com connected, give a member a task that uses it. For example:

Each Friday, read the Roadmap board and post an update on every item that is past its due date.

Start this task in the portal. It opens a conversation with your COO with the request written out. Read it, change what you like and send it. The COO asks what it still needs to know, then proposes the task for you to approve: its name, who owns it, its guardrails, the monday.com tools it may use and its instructions. Nothing is created until you approve it.
