Asana MCP server

Asana × VS Code

Use the Asana MCP server
in VS Code

Tasks, projects, and portfolios from your Asana workspace, in your AI. This guide connects Asana to VS Code (GitHub Copilot's agent mode) 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 VS Code

VS Code adds MCP servers via MCP server configuration. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect Asana to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. On your gate overview, click 'Add to VS Code' — VS Code prompts to add the gateway as an HTTP MCP server.
  3. Confirm and approve the sign-in.
  4. Copilot's agent mode can now use Asana — logged and governed through your gateway.

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same Asana connection works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor 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 VS Code 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.
