Oct 17, 2026, 2:23 PM CT, MCP TypeScript SDK (reference client): Scripted client using the official MCP TypeScript SDK against https://mcp.monday.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2025-11-25). Signed in with a test-account personal API token (Bearer token) sent as an Authorization: Bearer header (token auth; we did not test OAuth). Server monday.com MCP Server v1.0.0. Tasks ran only against a throwaway test account or project: test account and board only: account and user context, list boards, board schema, list items, create an item, change its status, add an update (comment), read the item and its updates back, filter by status, search, delete the item, plus bad-input checks. 15 of 17 tasks passed.

Automated handshake

No public remote endpoint to check (local or package-only server).

MCP TypeScript SDK (reference client): A nonsense query returned 388 characters of results instead of an empty result, so an agent cannot tell "nothing found" from a weak match.
MCP TypeScript SDK (reference client): Bad input came back as a normal result instead of an error.
