Is monday.com MCP server safe?
What monday.com MCP server does
monday.com MCP connects AI agents to the monday.com platform, with tools to create and delete items, change column values, create boards, groups and columns, and read board schemas. The README says it is maintained by the monday.com AI team; the server ships as the @mondaydotcomorg/monday-api-mcp package. It calls the monday.com API with a personal API token (MONDAY_TOKEN) or through OAuth via the marketplace app. Before installing, use --read-only when you only need to retrieve data, as the README suggests, and note that Dynamic API Tools need full API access and do not work in read-only mode.
- Node.js network egress
- Delegated authentication (OAuth 2.0 / OIDC)
- MCP tool surface detected
What to do: Nothing here argues against installing it. Grant the capabilities it lists only if you expect the tool to need them.
monday.com MCP server is an MCP server analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators. It can: delegated authentication, mcp tools detected and network egress — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (3)
The component makes outbound network requests.
import axios from 'axios';
const response = await axios.get<AppFeatureSchemaDefinition[]>(this.SCHEMA_ENDPOINT, {import axios, { AxiosRequestConfig } from 'axios';const response = await axios.request<T>(axiosConfig);
if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {const response = await axios.post<{ data?: T; errors?: Array<{ message: string }> }>(if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {fetch(`${DEFAULT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL}${path}`, { method, headers, body, signal });const response = await fetch(url, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MS) });import axios from 'axios';
const response = await axios.head(formTokenOrUrl, { maxRedirects: 0, validateStatus: (s) => s < 400 });import axios from 'axios';
Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but confirm the destinations are expected and no sensitive data leaves.
Fix: Confirm the destination hosts are expected and that no sensitive data is sent off-host.
An OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect delegated-authentication flow was detected (authorization-code / refresh-token / token-exchange grant, an OIDC authorize/discovery endpoint or id_token, or a delegation library). Tools authenticate with the end user's delegated, scoped credentials rather than a long-lived embedded service credential.
authorization_endpoint?: Maybe<Scalars['String']['output']>;
Fix: Delegated auth is a lower-blast-radius execution context than an embedded static credential. Confirm the requested scopes are minimal and that tokens are never logged or forwarded off-host.
An MCP tool surface (manifest or tool definitions) was found.
"mcpServers": {"mcpServers": {"mcpServers": {const mcpTool = this.registerTool(
this.dynamicToolManager.registerTool(tool, mcpTool);
return new McpServer(
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
Why it matters: Just context — review which tools it offers and their permissions.
Fix: Review the declared MCP tools and their permissions.
