PLANNING AND COLLABORATION / Asana
Asana MCP V2
Asana’s current workspace-scoped MCP connection for task, project and portfolio workflows.
“The Asana V2 MCP server is generally available and uses OAuth for authorization.”
01 / THE REASONING
Why this made the selection.
- Uses the current V2 endpoint and registered OAuth app flow, with a session tied to the selected workspace.
- The tool reference distinguishes standard direct writes from supported interactive preview tools.
02 / THE REVIEW RECORD
What we actually inspected.
Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.
Material inspected
- Official V2 setup and OAuth guide
- Current MCP tools reference
- Official client guidance
Our findings
- The reviewed documentation separates MCP-only tokens from REST API tokens and scopes the session to a workspace.
- Tool documentation explicitly distinguishes immediate standard writes from interactive preview behavior; no private server implementation was inspected.
Not established by this review
- No MCP server or upstream package was installed or run.
- No authenticated account, API request, client handshake or write operation was tested.
The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.
03 / PUT IT TO WORK
Connect a server deliberately.
- Create an MCP app in the Asana developer console and register the client redirect URL and intended distribution/workspaces.
- Configure the client for https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp with the registered OAuth credentials, then complete user authorization. Omit an explicit scope parameter, following the guide’s troubleshooting advice.
- Select the intended workspace and review direct write calls. Do not use the deprecated V1/SSE endpoint.
Before you start
- Asana account with access to the intended workspace
- A pre-registered Asana MCP OAuth app; dynamic client registration is not the documented path
- A compatible client with secure client-secret handling
