See setup guidance ↓Original source ↗ SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-09-22 Evidence 3 linked sources Publisher Asana Licence Not established Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓ “The Asana V2 MCP server is generally available and uses OAuth for authorization.” Asana · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below. 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. ### A good fit for - Inspecting tasks, projects and portfolio context within an authorized workspace - Creating or updating work items after reviewing the intended changes ### Weigh up before choosing - Standard write tools execute immediately; a confirmation interface exists only for supported interactive tools and hosts. - The current grant exposes current and future MCP tools within the user’s existing permissions; the reviewed flow has no per-tool OAuth scope selection. - MCP tokens do not work as general Asana REST tokens. App distribution, workspace access and some search features depend on account configuration or plan. 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. Upstream setup instructions ↗ - 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 ### Compatibility ChatGPT · Claude · Remote MCP clients ### Transports Streamable HTTP ### Hosted account connection - Read workspace tasks, projects and portfolio information permitted to the user - Authorized tools can create, edit, delete or comment on resources - Standard write tools do not require a service-side confirmation preview ### Cost model Hosted service under Asana account and feature entitlements; some advanced search capabilities depend on the plan. Client/model usage is separate. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
