Efficient, fast-load MCP server for managing Asana tasks, projects and portfolios.

MCP server for the Asana API.

Quick Start

  1. Get an Asana Personal Access Token at https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps

  2. Install:

# Homebrew
brew install adlio/tap/asanamcp

# From crates.io
cargo install asanamcp

# From GitHub
cargo install --git https://github.com/adlio/asanamcp
  1. Add to Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asana": {
      "command": "asanamcp",
      "env": {
        "ASANA_TOKEN": "your-personal-access-token",
        "ASANA_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE": "your-workspace-gid"
      }
    }
  }
}

The ASANA_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE is optional but recommended if you work primarily in one workspace. When set, workspace-based operations (search, list projects, list users, etc.) will use this default, reducing the need to specify workspace GID in every request.

Testing the Server

# Dump tool schemas (useful for debugging)
asanamcp --schema

# Dump a specific tool's schema
asanamcp --schema get

# Launch the MCP Inspector (interactive web UI)
make inspect

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), asanamcp::Error> {
    let client = AsanaClient::from_env()?;

    let workspaces: Vec<Resource> = client
        .get_all("/workspaces", &[("opt_fields", "gid,name")])
        .await?;

    for ws in workspaces {
        println!("{}: {:?}", ws.gid, ws.fields.get("name"));
