Verdicts

monday.com

The GraphQL API publishes its full schema, accepts an Idempotency-Key header on mutations and reports limits in RateLimit headers, and a documented signup API lets an agent create its own account and token. Personal tokens carry every permission their user has, daily calls stop at 1,000 below Pro, and the status page shows two long platform incidents since July 2026.

Teamwork.com

The official MCP server is MIT licensed, released almost daily, and has typed tools with annotations, profile endpoints and no delete tools on the shipped servers. OAuth scopes stop at product level, access tokens are permanent, and no SLA, API changelog or prompt-injection guidance was found in the reviewed documentation.

Before you call either

monday.com

  1. Send an API-Version header such as 2026-10 on every call. Without it the API uses whichever version is current
  2. Read the board's columns first (get_board_info or boards { columns }), then write column values as a JSON string keyed by column ID
  3. Reuse one Idempotency-Key per mutation when retrying after a timeout or 5xx. After a 429, wait for Retry-After or retry_in_seconds
  4. Page items with items_page and next_items_page, at most 500 a page. Cursors expire after 60 minutes
  5. For a narrower grant than a personal token, connect MCP through a custom OAuth app with only scopes such as boards:read

Teamwork.com

  1. Use a profile endpoint such as https://mcp.ai.teamwork.com/project-manager. The base URL loads every tool across Projects, Desk, Spaces and Chat.
  2. Ask a site administrator to enable MCP under Settings, AI before connecting.
  3. Build REST URLs from installation.apiEndPoint in the token response. Sites live at {site}.teamwork.com (US) or {site}.eu.teamwork.com (EU).
  4. Stay under 150 requests a minute on Free, Basics and Accelerate. The limit is shared by the whole site. On 429, wait until X-Rate-Limit-Reset.
  5. Pass verbose=false to list_* tools to get ids and names only, and use twprojects-create_tasks for many tasks in one call.
