Asana MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Asana and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 260 Asana actions (119 reads, 102 writes and 39 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Asana credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Asana's limits and records every call.

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up

Connect Asana in three steps.

  1. 01

    Add actionlake to Claude.

    Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

    https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
  2. 02

    Connect Asana.

    Bearer token. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

    • access_tokenAsana personal access token
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "asana" }
# free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
  3. 03

    Make the first call. Check before a write.

    Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

    do    { action: "asana.tasks.get_tasks" }# get multiple tasks · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "asana.tasks.create_task", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Asana's own MCP server

Asana's MCP server, or actionlake?

Asana runs a remote MCP server at mcp.asana.com, signed in with OAuth.

Use Asana's server when one person wants to work in Asana from their own AI client. Use actionlake when you also want Asana behind the same endpoint as your other systems: a key per agent with allowed actions and a spending cap, a named person's approval before destructive actions, a sealed record of every call, and one ask across Asana and another system.

Source: Asana's documentation, checked 22 October 2026.

Top actions

The Asana API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 169 of Asana's 169 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Each one names the Asana actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

  1. Readread

    Which Asana tasks are overdue, and who owns each one?

    callsasana.tasks.get_tasks

  2. Plandestructive

    Offboard a departing user from their teams and workspace in Asana. Ask me before anything is sent or changed.

The plan store

Ready-made plans for Asana.

9 plans in the store. Install one and your agent runs it by name; the reply says which connections are still missing. A schedule can run a plan on a timetable. There are no triggers or webhooks, by design.

Governance for Asana

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

39 Asana actions are destructive. The first 10:

  • Delete a taskasana.tasks.delete_task
  • Delete a projectasana.projects.delete_project
  • Delete a storyasana.stories.delete_story
  • Delete a time tracking entryasana.time_tracking_entries.delete_time_tracking_entry
  • Delete a roleasana.roles.delete_role
  • Delete a tagasana.tags.delete_tag
  • Delete an attachmentasana.attachments.delete_attachment
  • Remove a user from a teamasana.teams.remove_user_for_team
  • Delete a membershipasana.memberships.delete_membership
  • Remove a user from a workspace or organizationasana.workspaces.remove_user_for_workspace

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Cost

What Asana costs on actionlake.

Every Asana action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Asana refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions

The Asana MCP server, answered.

Is there an Asana MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 260 Asana actions across projects, tasks, time tracking and portfolios, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Asana.

Does Asana have its own MCP server?

Asana runs a remote MCP server at mcp.asana.com, signed in with OAuth. (Asana's documentation, checked 22 October 2026.) Use Asana's server when one person wants to work in Asana from their own AI client. Use actionlake when you also want Asana behind the same endpoint as your other systems: a key per agent with allowed actions and a spending cap, a named person's approval before destructive actions, a sealed record of every call, and one ask across Asana and another system.

What do I need to connect Asana?

Asana personal access token. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "asana" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Asana?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 39 Asana actions are destructive, including delete a task, delete a project and delete a story. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my Asana API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Asana service file: 150 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (119 Asana actions can be), which never reaches Asana.

What does an Asana action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (260 Asana actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Asana refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which Asana API does it cover?

The Asana API 1.0 at app.asana.com/api/1.0. It is built from Asana's documentation as read on 15 September 2026. 260 actions in 29 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 2.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Asana data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Asana credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
