Asana

Asana's official MCP went live in early 2026 alongside Shortcut, Plane, Smartsheet, and Wrike all launching theirs in the same window. The result: if your team runs on Asana, you can now ask Claude to pull a project status report, triage a backlog, or create tasks with assignees and due dates conversationally, without switching tabs. The server is remote (no local install), runs on Streamable HTTP, and authenticates via OAuth. One command in Claude Code: `claude mcp add asana --transport http https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp`. Cursor and other Streamable-HTTP-capable clients connect the same way with the appropriate config entry. There's no token to copy from a settings page, which is the right design choice for an enterprise-grade MCP. What you get is access to the Asana Work Graph: tasks, projects, teams, sections, custom fields, comments. The tool inventory covers the main read and write operations. Pull tasks assigned to me, change the status of this batch, create a new task in this project with these subtasks. The agent handles permission scoping per your Asana role, so it won't see projects you can't. Practical workflow: end of week, ask the agent to summarise everything you closed across all your active projects. Or first thing Monday, "what's due this week that I haven't started." Both are well within Asana's native UI but the chat-based loop is faster when you have one specific question. The caveat for IT-conscious organisations is that the MCP needs to be unblocked in your workspace via Asana's app management settings. If your admin has locked down third-party integrations, you'll need an approval flow before the OAuth handshake works. For solo users or small teams this isn't a barrier. The natural pairing is with the GitHub or Linear MCPs if your team straddles tools, so the agent can move a story from PR-merged to Asana-task-done in one operation. Asana on its own is useful, Asana plus the rest of the surface is where this starts to feel powerful.
