Asana MCP server

Asana × Claude

Use the Asana MCP server
in Claude

Tasks, projects, and portfolios from your Asana workspace, in your AI. This guide connects Asana to Claude (claude.ai and the Claude desktop app) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Live-probed · Security-scanned · Note: Asana currently restricts third-party sign-ins — API-key path recommended

Setup: Asana in Claude

Claude adds MCP servers via custom connectors in Settings. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Create a free gate gateway and connect Asana to it from the verified directory (one click — note: Asana currently restricts third-party sign-ins, so use the API-key path if the vendor offers one).
  2. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors and click 'Add custom connector'.
  3. Name it 'gate' and paste your gateway URL, then approve the authorization.
  4. Ask Claude something Asana can answer — the call runs through your gateway, with your rules applied and logged.

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Asana connection works in Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool Asana exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything Claude did with Asana — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

Asana passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
