Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone on the monday.com dev team / community can shed light on an MCP-connector mismatch I’m hitting with ChatGPT.
What I did:
- Installed the Managed Connector Platform (MCP) App for monday.com.
- Connected my monday.com workspace to ChatGPT 4o via the “Connectors” tab.
- The handshake fails with the red banner: “This MCP server doesn’t implement our specification: search action not found.”
- Out of curiosity, I pointed the same MCP server at Claude AI. Claude accepts the connector and sees the full toolset exposed by the monday MCP app without complaint.
According to OpenAI’s MCP spec, a compliant server must expose at least two tools—search and fetch—in /tools/list.
Claude seems happy with the monday MCP app as-is, implying the expected actions are present (or at least Claude doesn’t enforce the same strict check). ChatGPT, however, insists the search tool is missing and aborts the connection.
- Has anyone successfully connected monday.com to ChatGPT via MCP?
Does the official monday MCP app actually expose a search tool, or is it named something else (e.g., listBoards, query, etc.)?
If the tool is missing/renamed, is there a roadmap or quick patch to add a minimal search action so ChatGPT’s validator will pass? Even a stub that returns an empty result set should satisfy the spec.
Any pointers, example payloads, or confirmation that this is a known issue would be hugely appreciated. I’m happy to share additional request/response logs if that helps.
Thanks in advance!
