What is the Asana MCP Server?
Connect your Asana organizational account to any AI agent and take full control of your project management workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Workspaces & Projects — List all organizational workspaces and fetch active projects directly from the Asana cloud
- Task Management — Query all recorded tasks (both pending and completed) from any target project using its unique GID
- Deep Task Inspection — Fetch complete metadata, descriptions, assignee fields, and precise status metrics for specific individual tasks
- Board Sections — List board column groupings and stages (sections) to categorize and understand sprint workflows
- User Profiling — Retrieve the underlying credentials, profile information, and authorized access of your agent's API user
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Asana Personal Access Token
- Start managing your agile projects from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more wrestling with hundreds of open browser tabs to find out who is assigned to a specific task block. Your AI acts as a dedicated Scrum master or project manager.
Who is this for?
- Product Managers — instantly retrieve project statuses, list stale tasks, and inspect sprint boards without opening the Asana app
- Engineering Teams — check task descriptions and metadata straight from the code editor to avoid breaking flow
- Operations & Agency Leads — automate client workspace querying to orchestrate cross-functional teams smoothly

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the details and status of a specific task just by providing the Task GID?
Yes! Use the get_task tool with exactly the Task Global ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, and precise operational notes connected to that active ticket in seconds.
How do I easily list all the columns in an active agile sprint board?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_sections action on the target Project GID. It will compile all column phases (e.g., 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'QA') configured for that environment.
Does the integration permit modifying or deleting my workspace configurations?
No. The core set of tools focuses strictly on heavily querying and analyzing context—listing projects, analyzing metadata, checking tasks. State alteration operations are not currently exposed, assuring your workspaces are secure against destructive queries.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
