Watch out for

• It can delete tasks, not just read them

  Deleting a task also removes subtasks that are not in another project. Keep your AI app's approval prompt on for changes. developers.asana.com

• No read-only option: it can do what you can

  Every sign-in gets all tools. Use an Asana account that only reaches the projects you want the assistant to touch. developers.asana.com

• A 2025 bug could show data to other companies

  In June 2025 Asana took its first version offline for about two weeks after a bug could expose some data to other Asana MCP users; Asana reported no sign it was misused. The current server is a newer version. theregister.com

• Bulk edits can partly succeed

  A batch of task or project changes can apply some edits and fail others. Check the result before asking it to try again, so changes are not repeated. developers.asana.com

• Codex and Windsurf rely on an unsupported bridge

  Asana's guide uses the community mcp-remote package for these apps and calls it experimental. Keep your client secret in a file only you can read. developers.asana.com

• Sharing a project needs your OK

  Adding members, making a project public or changing its default access asks for your confirmation first. developers.asana.com

• Admins can allow or block each AI app
