Asana is a work management platform for organizing projects, tasks, and team collaboration. The Asana MCP server lets you create tasks, manage projects, and track work using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • Create and update tasks with assignees, due dates, tags, and custom fields
  • Retrieve tasks by project, assignee, tag, or section
  • Manage project access by adding or removing members and followers
  • Explore portfolios and sections to keep stakeholders informed

​
Where to Use It

Add Asana as a tool to any agent. The agent can then interact with your projects and tasks conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Asana tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Create a task in the Marketing project”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

​
Troubleshooting

Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Create a task in the Marketing project” will find the project ID first, then create the task. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
