Written setup, step by stepShow

Before you start

A monday.com account that can use the API and open the boards you want your AI to use.
Your personal API token from monday.com. It has the same access you have in monday.

1. Connect monday.com to ApexGenius

Copy your API token in monday.com. In monday.com, click your profile picture at the top right and choose Developers. Open My access tokens (called API token in some accounts), choose Show, and copy the token. Admins can also find it under Administration, Connections, Personal API token.
monday's own guide: profile picture, Developers, then My access tokens. This is monday's public guide page, so no account appears in it.Open full-size image (opens in a new tab)
Open monday.com in Connections. Sign in to ApexGenius, open Connections, choose monday.com, and select Connect.
Paste the token. Paste the token into the connection form. ApexGenius supplies the mcp.monday.com address, checks the token with monday's MCP, and stores it encrypted. Never paste the token into a chat.
Check the connected user. Open Tools to review the board, item, doc and update tools, then ask your AI the question below. Compare the user and workspaces with monday.com and check Tool Activity.

The walkthrough uses the original ChatGPT web plugin captures. After connecting, open Codex in the desktop app and start a new task with ApexGenius. A ChatGPT web connection does not verify Codex access.

A public ApexGenius plugin listing is not verified. Use a plugin shared with you or one you created, subject to your account and workspace policy.

3. Verify one safe read

monday.com sets the boundary. The token reaches every workspace and board your monday user can open, nothing more.

Reads use a route that checks monday's own read-only label before every call.

Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Every call counts toward your account's daily monday API limit, which resets at midnight UTC: 1,000 calls on Free, Basic and Standard, 10,000 on Pro and 25,000 on Enterprise.

Disconnecting stops ApexGenius access. It does not undo a change, update or notification that already ran, and it does not revoke the token. Regenerate the token in monday to stop it everywhere.

Questions about connecting Codex to monday.com

Updated October 10, 2026.

How do I connect monday.com?

In monday.com, click your profile picture, choose Developers, and copy your personal API token. Then open monday.com in ApexGenius Connections and paste it. ApexGenius checks the token with monday's MCP before saving it.

What can my AI reach in monday.com?

What your monday user can reach: the workspaces, boards, items, docs, forms and updates you can open in monday.com. The token has your own access, so use a monday user with only the access your AI needs.

Do changes wait for me?

Enabled writes run immediately. Turn a tool off to block calls.

Can my AI delete anything in monday.com?

Some tools can. all_monday_api runs any GraphQL mutation, manage_automations can delete an automation, and manage_agent can delete an agent. They are labelled Destructive here. Anything deleted has to be restored in monday.com itself.

Does it use my monday API limit?

Yes. Every tool call is a monday API call. The daily limit is 1,000 calls on Free, Basic and Standard, 10,000 on Pro and 25,000 on Enterprise, and it resets at midnight UTC.

Why an API token instead of signing in to monday.com?

monday's MCP sign-in needs a separate app with a client secret, and each monday account admin has to approve it. The personal token works today without that. It is sent only to mcp.monday.com and stored encrypted.
