Mcp Server Asana

MCP Server for Asana

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@roychri/mcp-server-asana)

This Model Context Protocol server implementation of Asana allows you to talk to Asana API from MCP Client such as Anthropic's Claude Desktop Application, and many more.

More details on MCP here:

• https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol
• https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction
• https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol

Environment Variables

• ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN: (Required) Your Asana access token
• READ_ONLY_MODE: (Optional) Set to 'true' to disable all write operations. In this mode:
• Tools that modify Asana data (create, update, delete) will be disabled
• The create-task prompt will be disabled
• Only read operations will be available

This is useful for testing or when you want to ensure no changes can be made to your Asana workspace.

Usage

In the AI tool of your choice (ex: Claude Desktop) ask something about asana tasks, projects, workspaces, and/or comments. Mentioning the word "asana" will increase the chance of having the LLM pick the right tool.

Example:

> How many unfinished asana tasks do we have in our Sprint 30 project?
