Both monday agents and external agents connect directly with monday Vibe, the app-building environment inside monday.com. Your agent can read data from any Vibe app, create new Vibe apps, update and delete items, manage app publications, and ask questions about app data. External agents connect via monday's MCP server, so you can drive Vibe from any MCP-compatible client, such as ChatGPT or Claude, without opening monday.com.
This gives you a single, AI-powered workflow where your agent doesn't just answer questions; it actively manages the data and structure of your Vibe apps as work happens.
What your agent can do with Vibe
Both monday agents and external agents have access to the same set of Vibe capabilities:
- List all Vibe apps in your account
- Get details about a specific Vibe app
- Create new Vibe apps
- Create new items in a Vibe app
- Update existing items
- Delete items
- Delete Vibe apps
- Ask read-only questions about data in any Vibe app
- Manage app publications
Managing Vibe app data with an agent
To get started with a monday agent, open the AI Agents tab in your left pane and set up or open an existing agent.
Once your agent has access to the relevant Vibe app, you can prompt it to read data, create new Vibe apps, create or update items, delete records, or manage app publications using plain language, just as you would describe the task to a teammate.
If you have an agent built on an external platform, you can connect it to monday.com via monday's MCP server and use it with Vibe just as you would with an agent built inside monday.com. This means you can create, update, and manage Vibe apps directly from MCP-compatible clients such as ChatGPT or Claude, without switching into monday.com. To learn how to connect an external agent, see Bring your external agent into monday.com and Get started with monday MCP.
Tips for getting the most out of agents in Vibe
- Grant your agent the minimum permissions needed for its task: read-only access for reporting and answering questions, read-write only when the agent needs to create, update, or delete data or apps.
- Use plain, specific language when prompting your agent. The more precisely you describe the task, the more predictable the result.
- Review agent activity in the Activity tab after each run to confirm changes were applied as expected.
