Asana MCP Server V2 ★ Official - New July 17¶

Asana's official MCP V2 server connects AI agents to your Asana workspace - tasks, projects, workspaces, and team coordination - through OAuth 2.0 authentication. The hosted server at https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp requires pre-registration in the Asana Developer Console.

This launch puts Asana alongside Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), Linear, and Notion as major productivity platforms with official MCP servers - making project management accessible to AI agents across the ecosystem.

What It Does¶

Tasks - create, read, update, and search tasks across projects
Projects - list projects, view project details, manage project structure
Workspaces - access workspace-level information and organization
Rich interaction - comments, assignments, due dates, custom fields, and attachments

Setup¶

Prerequisites¶

Create an Asana MCP app in the Asana Developer Console
Save your client_id and client_secret
Configure OAuth redirect URL based on your client:
Claude Code: http://localhost:8080/callback
Cursor: cursor://anysphere.cursor-mcp/oauth/callback
VS Code: http://127.0.0.1:33418/ or https://vscode.dev/redirect
Windsurf/Kiro/Codex: http://localhost:3334/oauth/callback
Install Node.js and npm

Claude Code (Native OAuth Support)¶

Claude Code has native support for pre-configured OAuth - no third-party tools needed:

claude mcp add --transport http \
  --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
  --client-secret \
  --callback-port 8080 \
  asana https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp

Claude Code will prompt for your client secret (hidden input) and open a browser for Asana OAuth authorization.

Other Clients (via mcp-remote)¶

For Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Kiro, and Codex, use the mcp-remote npm package:

npx mcp-remote https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp \
  --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
  --client-secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
  --redirect-uri http://localhost:3334/oauth/callback

⚠️ Note: mcp-remote is experimental community software. Asana does not provide support for it. Claude Code is recommended for production use.

Environment Variables¶

export ASANA_CLIENT_ID="YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
export ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"

Verification¶

After setup, test the connection:

Show me my Asana tasks due this week

Claude (or your MCP client) should fetch your Asana tasks using the MCP tools.

Business Relevance¶

Project management without context switching: Operators can manage Asana tasks, check project status, and update assignments directly from their AI workspace - no tab switching.
Team coordination at scale: AI agents can surface overdue tasks, identify blocked work, and generate status reports across multiple projects simultaneously.
Workflow automation: Combine Asana MCP with other MCP servers (GitHub, Slack, Google Calendar) to create cross-platform workflows - e.g., "create an Asana task for every GitHub issue labeled 'bug'."
Enterprise PM suite: Asana joins Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), Linear, and Notion in the MCP ecosystem. Teams can now choose their PM tool without losing AI agent integration.

Use Cases for Business Operators¶

Daily standup prep: "What tasks are due today across all my projects?"
Blocker detection: "Find all tasks that have been in 'In Progress' for more than 5 days."
Status reports: "Generate a status update for the Q3 launch project."
Task triage: "Create tasks for the 3 action items from yesterday's meeting notes."
Cross-project visibility: "Show me all high-priority tasks assigned to the engineering team this sprint."
Deadline tracking: "Which projects have milestones due in the next 2 weeks?"

Security Best Practices¶

Use unique credentials per developer - don't share client IDs/secrets
Rotate credentials regularly
Never commit credentials to version control
For production, use a secrets manager (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, 1Password CLI)
Monitor which MCP clients have OAuth access via Asana's app management console

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations¶

OAuth pre-registration required: Unlike simpler MCP servers, Asana V2 requires app registration before use
Third-party dependency for some clients: Cursor/VS Code users need mcp-remote (experimental)
No unauthenticated access: All MCP operations require valid OAuth tokens
