Asana MCP Server
Asana MCP server with 33 tools covering workspaces, projects, tasks, subtasks, dependencies, project status, sections, and stories. READ_ONLY_MODE disables write operations for safety.
“33-tool Asana MCP with read-only mode for safety. 3 commits on main in the last 30 days; zero tagged releases. Picks the slot for project management workflows where Asana is the system of record. Runs from main with the same caveat as Okta MCP (Batch 5) and CircleCI MCP (Batch 6): operators wanting version pinning rely on commit-pin.”

8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 33-tool surface covers workspaces, projects, tasks, subtasks, dependencies, status, sections, stories.
- READ_ONLY_MODE=true disables all write operations cleanly.
- MIT licence.
- 68 forks on 138 stars (high fork-to-star ratio signals integration work).
- NPM distribution as @roychri/mcp-server-asana.
- Zero tagged releases; runs from main. Operators wanting version pinning rely on commit-pin.
- 138 stars; community traction is modest.
- 3 commits on main in the last 30 days; release cadence is slow.
- Personal Access Token model ties each agent to a user identity.
Authenticates via ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN. Set READ_ONLY_MODE=true for production agents that only need to read. Mint the access token from a dedicated Asana account where possible to scope permissions. Token is user-scoped; rotate on schedule and on personnel changes.
Teams running Asana as the system of record for project management; workflows where AI agents triage tasks, surface project status, or audit dependency graphs; safety-conscious deployments using READ_ONLY_MODE=true for query-only agents.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
