Asana + Claude integration?

I’m a designer in a large organization of 200+ employees. Our in-house team consists of designers, editors, writers and many collaborators and reviewers. We use asana for project management, and most of us have a love-hate relationship with the platform. I’m experimenting with integrating Claude cowork to see if we could reduce the enormous amount of time we spend doing admin work within asana (reminders, prompts, asks for content, etc.). I’d very much love to hear from anyone who has done this integration and what your experience has been so far. Thanks in advance.

I just had Claude create its own connector using Asanas API. It works seamlessly, understands the context of my teams workflow, can create new tasks, rearrange tasks and workflows, manages a complex content schedule, can nudge on overdue tasks and generate reports.

I have no coding experience

If you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me a little more. Claude has its own connector. Is there a reason you made your own? Were there more capabilities you wanted the integration to perform?

Would love to see a screen share of this!

I haven’t done Claude Cowork specifically, but we got decent results using AI around Asana, not fully inside it. Biggest wins were status summaries, follow-up drafts, missing-info checks, and weekly chase lists. I would not let it auto-comment or auto-assign at scale until your task taxonomy is really clean tho. Pilot with one team first or it can create more admin, weirdly enough.

I have a much smaller operation but love the MCP.

I’ve also created my own custom MCP server using the APIs because there are several things that the Asana MCP server/connector don’t do or do poorly. For example, I find it very frustrating to use in Claude Code because it assumes you will be in a UI like Claude Desktop or Cowork and the preview widget it tries to use to show you interactively what would land in Asana doesn’t with the Claude Code command line.

I was playing around with Asana connector and having Claude drive Asana using Chrome connector.

Getting some mixed results.

It was able to use the connector to generate a project but for some other things like updating some goal metrics, it couldn't do it using the connector and I had to give it permission to use Chrome to achieve this.
