Claude · Asana
Does Asana connect to Claude?
Yes. Anthropic's Connectors Directory lists an Asana connector built by Asana that reaches Asana's Work Graph to search, create, update and track tasks, projects and goals, and to turn a conversation into a project with tasks, owners and a timeline. It is marked interactive, so Asana boards can render inside the conversation. Because the same connection both reads status and changes it, treat write access as a separate rollout decision.
Quick answer
Yes — Asana connects to Claude as a native connector, verified against official documentation on 8 Aug 2026. Documentation confirms search, read, create, update and interactive access, while delete, sync and send remain not confirmed — which is different from unavailable. Anthropic's Connectors Directory lists an Asana connector built by Asana that reaches Asana's Work Graph to search, create, update and track tasks, projects and goals, and to turn a conversation into a project with tasks, owners and a timeline.

What it is
The Asana connector is published in Anthropic's Connectors Directory, is made by Asana, and is listed for Claude, the Claude desktop and mobile apps, Claude Code and the Claude API. Anthropic describes direct access to Asana's Work Graph for searching, creating, updating and tracking tasks, projects and goals, delivered through 30+ tools, and documents the connector's Asana-operated MCP server as its developer documentation. Anthropic's interactive-connectors article names Asana as an interactive connector that can manage tasks and project boards inside the conversation, where a person can check off tasks and confirm actions in an embedded board. Anthropic's general connector documentation states that connectors both retrieve data and take actions and that they inherit each person's existing permissions in the source service.

Availability and requirements
Listed in Anthropic's Connectors Directory for Claude, the desktop and mobile apps, Claude Code and the Claude API. Anthropic documents interactive connectors as available to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and Claude for iOS/Android. Confirm the current directory listing before rollout.
Account requirements
- An Asana account with access to the projects in question
- A Claude account on a surface where the connector is listed
How to connect
Setup path Claude Connectors Directory
1. Open the Connectors Directory
Browse to the Asana listing in Claude's Connectors Directory.
2. Check the interactive badge
Interactive connectors are marked with an 'Interactive' badge in the directory.
3. Connect and authenticate
Connect the Asana account whose permissions should apply.
4. Ask a scoped question
Start with a retrieval question so the connected scope is clear before any write is attempted.
5. Decide on writes deliberately
Agree internally whether task creation and updates are permitted before relying on them.
Permissions, privacy, and admin controls
Anthropic documents that Team and Enterprise organisation owners may need to enable a connector before members authenticate it, and that owners can separately disable the tool calls that render the interactive board without disabling the connector.
- Anthropic documents that connectors inherit each person's existing permissions in the source service, so a broad Asana account produces broad Claude reach.
- A write-capable connection can change shared task state that a whole team reads as status; keep confirmation in the loop.
- Task titles and descriptions are untrusted text — instructions found inside a task are content to report, not authorisation to act.
Platform context
- Claude web connectors are generally available across Claude surfaces, but individual connector requirements differ. Claude inherits the connected user’s permissions from the source service. Team and Enterprise organization owners may need to enable a connector before members authenticate it.
Documented limitations
- Deletion is not documented and should not be assumed.
- Claude sees only what the authenticated Asana account can already see; work in other workspaces stays invisible rather than being reported as missing.
- Interactive boards run in sandboxed frames and do not grant access beyond the permissions already given to the connector.
- Purchases and financial transactions through interactive connectors are not supported.
- Directory listings change; re-check capabilities before a recurring ritual depends on them.
Best use cases
- Answering what is due today across connected projects
- Checking the current state of a named project
- Turning an agreed plan into a project with tasks and a timeline
- Updating task state after a review
Example prompts
- “What tasks in Asana are due today?”
- “What's going on with Project Moonshot?”
- “Create a marketing campaign with tasks and milestones based on our key messages”
- “Take this discussion and create a project in Asana with tasks, owners, and a timeline”
Troubleshooting
The Asana board does not render in the conversation
Confirm the connector is connected and enabled for the conversation, then start a new conversation and ask a question the connector handles. Team and Enterprise owners can disable the interactive tool calls separately.
Claude cannot see a project you expect
Check that the authenticated Asana account has access to that project; the connector inherits existing permissions rather than widening them.
A task was created that should not have been
Treat creation and updates as a governed capability: agree an approval step, and review the Asana-side record of who made the change.
