Full read-write Claude connector for Asana
Make Claude create and update tasks to keep projects current in Asana
Stop clicking through the board to keep work moving. Claude creates tasks in the right project, sets assignees and due dates, updates fields, and posts comments where the work already lives, with deletes gated behind your approval.
Asana is a work management tool where teams plan projects and track tasks across boards, lists, and timelines. People want Claude to do more than read status: to create and update tasks, move work forward, and keep projects current on their behalf.
What is an Asana MCP server?
A Asana MCP server is a small hosted service that exposes Asana's data and actions to Claude over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude can tasks, projects, and docs inside your own account. We build it as a custom connector with separate read and write tools, and destructive actions stay gated behind your approval.
What can Asana's current connector do today?
Today, Asana's available Claude connections lean toward reading and search: Claude can look up tasks and projects, but creating tasks, updating fields, posting comments, and changing assignments are often limited or cover only a thin slice. A custom Asana connector adds those write actions with scoped, human-in-the-loop controls.
What does full read-write Asana access unlock?
Full read-write Asana access lets Claude create tasks in the right project, set assignees and due dates, update custom fields, move tasks between sections, and post comments. The planning and status upkeep that used to mean clicking through the board happens where the work already lives, once you approve.
- Create a task in a chosen project with an assignee, due date, and description
- Update task fields like status, priority, or custom fields from a discussion
- Move a task between sections or columns as it progresses
- Add a comment or follow-up to a task to capture context
- Set or change the assignee and due date on existing tasks
- Create subtasks to break a larger task into tracked steps
Can Claude create and update tasks in Asana?
Yes. With a full read-write Asana connector, Claude can create a task in the chosen project with an assignee, due date, and description, then update fields like status, priority, or custom fields as a discussion progresses. Creating and updating flow freely, since the default connections lean toward reading and search.
Can Claude move tasks between sections and add comments in Asana?
Claude can move a task between sections or columns as it advances, post a comment to capture context, set or change assignees and due dates, and create subtasks to break larger work into tracked steps. These are routine writes you can allow directly, keeping projects current without clicking through the board.
Will Claude delete or reassign Asana tasks without my approval?
No. Destructive actions like deleting a task are gated and run only after you confirm them. Routine writes such as creating a task or updating a field can be allowed directly, and the connector authenticates as your account, so it never gets more access to your workspace than you already have.
How an Asana connector works
We build a small MCP server that authenticates to Asana with OAuth and the narrowest scopes the work needs. Read tools (search, look up tasks and projects) and write tools (create, update, comment) are separated, and destructive actions like deleting a task require your confirmation. Claude only ever has the access your own Asana account already has.
