## Description

Find every item on a board whose column matches a value, following the API's cursor automatically so all matches are returned in a single call. Use to look up items by a field instead of pulling the whole board with **Get Board Items Page**. Set `Board ID`, `Column` and `Value`. For a `status` or `dropdown` column pass the label text rather than its ID — call **List Columns** to see the labels a column accepts. Example: Column `status`, Value `Done`. Returns an array of matching items, each with a `column_values` array of `{ id, value }` pairs; an empty array means nothing matched. Gotcha: not every column type is searchable this way. [See the documentation](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/reference/items-page-by-column-values)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `boardId` | `string` | Yes | The board to act on, as a board ID (e.g. 2419687965). Use List Board ID Options to look up a board ID by name. Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `columnId` | `string` | Yes | The column to search Options are loaded from the connected account. |
| `value` | `string` | Yes | The value to search for. For a status or dropdown column this is the label text rather than its ID (for example, Done) — use List Columns to see the labels a column accepts. See the documentation for which column types are searchable and what value each one expects |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  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(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "monday",
      },
    },
  },
)

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-get-items-by-column-value",
  arguments: {
    boardId: "Board ID",
    columnId: "Column",
  },
})
```
