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
- Send an
API-Versionheader such as 2026-10 on every call. Without it the API uses whichever version is current - Read the board's columns first (
get_board_infoorboards { columns }), then write column values as a JSON string keyed by column ID - Reuse one
Idempotency-Keyper mutation when retrying after a timeout or 5xx. After a 429, wait forRetry-Afterorretry_in_seconds - Page items with
items_pageandnext_items_page, at most 500 a page. Cursors expire after 60 minutes - For a narrower grant than a personal token, connect MCP through a custom OAuth app with only scopes such as
boards:read
Teamwork.com
- 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.
- Ask a site administrator to enable MCP under Settings, AI before connecting.
- Build REST URLs from
installation.apiEndPointin the token response. Sites live at {site}.teamwork.com (US) or {site}.eu.teamwork.com (EU). - 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. - Pass
verbose=falsetolist_*tools to get ids and names only, and usetwprojects-create_tasksfor many tasks in one call.
