Connect Claude to Asana

Official Integration

The Asana MCP integration lets Claude interact with your Asana workspace - creating tasks, updating projects, checking team workload, and generating status reports. Manage complex projects through natural conversation instead of clicking through multiple views.

What You Can Do

View Projects & Tasks

See project status, task lists, and assignments across your entire workspace.

Create Tasks

Add tasks with descriptions, due dates, assignees, and project assignments via conversation.

Update & Complete

Mark tasks complete, update descriptions, change due dates, reassign work.

Generate Reports

Get workload summaries, overdue task lists, and project status reports.

Example Commands

Basic

"What tasks are assigned to me in Asana?"
"Show me all tasks due this week"
"What's the status of the 'Website Redesign' project?"

Intermediate

"Create a task called 'Review vendor proposals' in the 'Operations' project, due Friday, assigned to me"
"Find all incomplete tasks in 'Q4 Planning' and list them by due date"
"Mark the 'Send client invoice' task as complete"

Advanced

"Give me a workload report - how many tasks does each team member have due this week?"
"Find all tasks across projects that are overdue and group them by assignee"
"Create subtasks for 'Product Launch' based on these milestones: [list milestones]"
