Can this MCP handle tasks that are already completed?

Yes. The capabilities allow you to query all recorded tasks, regardless of whether they are pending or marked as completed. You can get a full view of the project history.

Do I need to know the Project GID to query tasks?

No. You can start by using the list_workspaces capability to find the correct environment, and then list_projects to narrow down the scope before querying specific tasks.

Is this MCP read-only, or can I update things?

It's both. You can read data using capabilities like get_task and list_sections, but you can also write data by using capabilities like create_task or update_task.

What kind of information can I get about a single task?

You can get complete metadata, including the detailed description, the current status, and the name of the person assigned to the task.

Can my AI automatically find the details and status of a specific task just by providing the Task GID?

Yes! Use the get_task capability 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 capabilities 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.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Client Onboarding Audit

Ask your agent to list all workspaces and then query projects within a new client's environment to verify setup completeness.

Daily Standup Prep

Have your agent list tasks in a specific project and filter them by assignee to generate a quick status report for your team meeting.

Bug Tracking and Triage

When a bug is reported, ask your agent to search tasks using keywords and filters to find the relevant project and assignee immediately.

Sprint Retrospective

Use the agent to list sections and query tasks to identify which workflow stages are consistently accumulating overdue items.

Automate a task

Put Asana to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Asana works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Asana to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Asana, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Asana. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
