Cursor config for Asana MCP Server (official remote)

Add remote MCP URL https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp and complete OAuth
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asana-mcp-server-official-remote": {
      "url": "https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp",
      "type": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Remote server — no local install needed. Restart the client after saving the config.

Setup steps

  1. 1Open Cursor → Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly).
  2. 2Paste the Asana MCP Server (official remote) config below into the "mcpServers" object.
  3. 3Fill in placeholder secrets, then save.
  4. 4Cursor reloads MCP servers automatically — check Settings → MCP for a green status dot.
  5. 5Ask Cursor to use one of Asana MCP Server (official remote)'s tools to confirm it's connected.

Before you start

  • An Asana account with access to the workspace you want to query
  • An MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP transport and OAuth (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code)
  • No API token to manage — authentication is handled via OAuth in the browser at connect time
  • On Enterprise+/Legacy Enterprise plans, the MCP client must not be blocked in your workspace's app-management settings

Asana MCP Server (official remote) + Cursor FAQ

Where is the Cursor config file?

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste the Asana MCP Server (official remote) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

Is Asana MCP Server (official remote) safe to use with Cursor?

Access is delegated through Asana OAuth and constrained to your existing workspace permissions; no API key is stored locally. Use the V2 /v2/mcp endpoint, as the V1 SSE endpoint was retired in May 2026.

What is the server URL and transport?

The current V2 endpoint is https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp over Streamable HTTP. The older SSE endpoint (https://mcp.asana.com/sse) and the V1 server are being deprecated, so use V2.

How does authentication work? Do I need an API token?

No manual token is needed. The server uses OAuth — you authorize in the browser with your Asana login, and the integration inherits your existing Asana permissions.

Which AI clients can connect?

Any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP and OAuth, including Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and VS Code. Asana also ships native app integrations for Claude and ChatGPT.
