## Which one, for what

### monday.com (BB)

Good for: Teams that already run projects on monday.com boards and want an agent to create items, change status, post updates and read board summaries through MCP or GraphQL.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 79 against 73
- Schema & documentation, 88 against 72
- Agent ergonomics, 82 against 68
- Security & auth, 70 against 58
- Payments & pricing, 50 against 30

Also in its favour:
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better

Watch for: Personal API tokens have no scopes. Each carries every permission its user has in the app

### Teamwork.com (B)

Good for: Agencies and services firms already on Teamwork.com that want an assistant to create and update tasks, log time, read workload and budgets, and answer Desk tickets.

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: OAuth scopes are per product only (`projects`, `desk`, `spaces`, `chat`), and the token from the app login flow is described as permanent

## 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.
