At a glance: Hosted at mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp — OAuth 2.0, Streamable HTTP, ~44 tools, 20 featured client integrations. V2 launched Feb 2026, V1 shutdown May 11. The most tool-rich productivity MCP server we've reviewed. Rating: 4/5.
What It Does
The 44 tools cover the full Asana hierarchy:
Task management (8 tools) — Create, update, delete, search tasks. Advanced search across text, dates, status, assignee, projects, portfolios, sections, tags, and custom fields.
Projects and portfolios (12 tools) — Create projects, list sections, track progress statistics, manage portfolios, document project health with color-coded updates.
Goals and time management (7 tools) — Create and track OKRs, navigate goal hierarchies, update progress metrics. No other productivity MCP server offers goal tracking through MCP.
Dependencies and relationships (4 tools) — Prerequisite and blocking relationships, follower management.
Team and user management (5+ tools) — Workspace discovery, team structure, user lookup, resource allocations.
Collaboration (5 tools) — Task comments, activity history, attachment access.
What Sets It Apart
- Most complete PM MCP server — 44 tools vs Todoist (37+), Linear (23+), Atlassian (undocumented)
- Hosted zero-install — No npm, no Docker, just connect and authorize
- Permission inheritance — All actions execute with authenticated user's permissions
- 20 client integrations — Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Figma, Zoom, Perplexity, and more
What's New (March 2026)
- Asana AI Teammates launched March 17 — 21 pre-built AI agents (Campaign Brief Writer, Bug Investigator, etc.)
- Claude-to-Asana integration — Turn Claude conversations into Asana projects/tasks
- $6M ARR from AI products — Targeting 15% of FY27 new ARR from AI
What's Missing
- V2 tool gaps — Comments/stories still missing as of early March. V1 shuts down May 11.
- Single-workspace sessions — V2 restricts to one workspace at a time (regression from V1)
- No self-hosted option — Hosted-only at mcp.asana.com
- Agent parameter issues — Some reports of null parameters with smaller models
Community Alternative
roychri/mcp-server-asana (131 stars, MIT) — 40+ tools via npm, Personal Access Tokens, local stdio. Has comments/stories that official V2 still lacks. Read-only mode available.
How It Compares
- vs. Todoist — Todoist is better for personal task management; Asana wins on organizational depth (goals, portfolios, workload)
- vs. Linear — Linear is engineering-focused; Asana handles cross-functional enterprise work
- vs. Atlassian — Atlassian covers Jira + Confluence; Asana has more tools and broader client compatibility
Rating: 4/5 — The most tool-rich productivity MCP server with proper hosted architecture. The incomplete V2 transition, single-workspace limitation, and Asana's pricing ceiling keep it from 4.5.
