## Description

Create a new board in a workspace. Use when you need a new board before adding groups, columns or items to it. Set `Board Name` and `Board Kind` (`public`, `private` or `share`); if you omit `Workspace ID` the board is created in the Main Workspace. Example: Board Name `Q3 Campaigns`, Board Kind `public`. Returns the new board's ID as a string (e.g. `2419687965`), not the full board object — call **List Boards** if you need its details. Use **List Workspace ID Options** to find a valid `Workspace ID`. [See the documentation](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/reference/boards#create-a-board)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `boardName` | `string` | Yes | The new board's name |
| `boardKind` | `string` | Yes | Who can see the board: public (any account member), private (invited members only) or share (shareable with guests outside the account). |
| `workspaceId` | `integer` | No | The workspace to create the board in, as a workspace ID (e.g. 12345). Use List Workspace ID Options to look up a workspace ID by name. Omit to use the account's Main Workspace. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `folderId` | `integer` | No | The folder to create the board in, as a folder ID. Use List Boards and read a board's board_folder_id to find a folder ID. Omit to leave the board outside any folder. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `templateId` | `integer` | No | The board's template ID. You can obtain it from the URL when selecting the desired board (e.g. https://{subdomain}.monday.com/boards/2419687965) where 2419687965 is the template ID. See the documentation for more information |

  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(

    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "monday-create-board",
  arguments: {
    boardName: "Board Name",
    boardKind: "Board Kind",
  },
})
```
