# Asana MCP server

> Read and manage Asana tasks, projects, goals and portfolios from your AI assistant through the Asana Work Graph.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/asana
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Productivity & Projects](https://mcp.tc/c/productivity)
- Vendor: Asana
- Verified: yes, mcp.tc checked that this is the official server (https://mcp.tc/verify). It says who runs the server, not that it is safe.

## About

Connects an AI assistant to the Asana Work Graph in your workspace. You can find tasks, create and update tasks and projects, list sections, check project status, and generate summaries or reports from Asana data.

Runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp. It requires signing in with an Asana account through OAuth. The MCP client app must not be blocked in your workspace by Asana app management, or an admin will need to approve it. The older V1 /sse endpoint is legacy.

## What it can do

- Find tasks, such as incomplete tasks due this week
- Create tasks and assign them in a project
- Create and manage projects
- List sections in a project
- Check the status of a project
- Generate reports and summaries from Asana data

## Example prompts

- "Find all my incomplete tasks due this week"
- "Create a new task in the Marketing project assigned to me"
- "List all sections in the Product Launch project"
- "Show me the status of the Q2 Planning project"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http asana https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **asana** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Asana sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Asana** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Asana asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Asana&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.asana.com%2Fv2%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Asana asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Asana to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=asana&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5hc2FuYS5jb20vdjIvbWNwIn0%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asana": {
      "url": "https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=asana&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.asana.com%2Fv2%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"asana","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "asana": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asana": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add asana --url https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp
codex mcp login asana
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.asana]
url = "https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http asana https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth asana` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asana": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp`.
