Asana MCP Server

What Asana MCP Server does

Asana MCP Server gives AI assistants access to Asana work data through the Model Context Protocol. Its scope covers three central Asana resource types: tasks, projects, and workspaces. Assistants can read information from these resources and apply updates to them, allowing conversations and agent workflows to interact with an Asana account rather than only producing text.

The service is Asana’s official hosted V2 MCP server. That hosted model is useful when an assistant needs an Asana connection without another local MCP process managing the service. It is suited to workplace and productivity workflows involving existing Asana information or changes to Asana records.

How it works

Communication uses Streamable HTTP, an MCP transport designed for connecting a client to a remotely hosted service. The assistant’s MCP client sends requests to Asana’s hosted server, which exposes the available Asana operations through MCP. The connection is authenticated with OAuth using the user’s Asana account.

OAuth makes the Asana account the source of authorization for the connection. A user signs in through Asana as part of establishing access, after which the assistant can use the server’s task, project, and workspace capabilities within that authorized connection.

Setup and configuration

Use an MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP and connect it to Asana’s hosted MCP service. Authentication is handled through OAuth with an Asana account rather than through a separately described local credential or environment-variable setup.

The service is hosted by Asana, so the main configuration choice is the client connection to the hosted endpoint and the account used during OAuth sign-in. Consult Asana’s MCP server instructions for the endpoint and client-specific connection steps.

Tools and capabilities

The server supports operations involving:

• Reading Asana tasks
• Updating Asana tasks
• Reading Asana projects
• Updating Asana projects
• Reading Asana workspaces
• Updating Asana workspaces

These capabilities make it appropriate for assistants that need to inspect work tracking data, make task or project changes, or work with information organized within Asana workspaces.

Limitations and notes

The service is focused on Asana tasks, projects, and workspaces. It is a hosted V2 implementation that requires an MCP client with Streamable HTTP support and an Asana account for OAuth authentication. Client behavior, available operations, and authorization scope depend on the connection established through Asana’s hosted service.
