Asana's Official MCP Server: 15+ Tools, No Setup Required

Asana runs its own official MCP server, reachable at mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp — connect an MCP client to that URL and authenticate via OAuth, no self-hosting or installation required.

15+ Tools Beyond Basic Task CRUD

The official server's tool set goes well beyond simple task creation — it covers tasks and projects, portfolios and goals management, people lookups, and workspace-wide search, letting an agent answer questions like "what's the status of Project X's goals" or "search across the whole workspace for anything mentioning this client," not just create/update a single task.

If You Still Want a Custom Server

For a narrower, purpose-built integration — say, a tool that filters by a specific custom section/tag combination your team uses internally — a minimal custom server built directly against Asana's REST API is still a reasonable option, using a Personal Access Token for single-workspace use or Asana's own OAuth flow for multi-user access:

// list_tasks(project_id, filter) — filter by assignee, section, or due date
// create_task(project_id, name, notes, assignee)
// update_task_status(task_id, completed)

Reach for the custom route specifically when you need tool behavior the official 15+-tool set doesn't model directly — for most teams, the official server already covers the common workflows.
