Asana Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Asana operations through Composio's Asana toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)

  • Active Asana connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit asana

  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

    • Setup

    Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.


  • Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds

  • Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit asana

  • If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Asana OAuth

  • Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

    • Core Workflows

    1. Manage Tasks

    When to use: User wants to create, search, list, or organize tasks

    Tool sequence:

  • ASANA_GET_MULTIPLE_WORKSPACES - Get workspace ID [Prerequisite]

  • ASANA_SEARCH_TASKS_IN_WORKSPACE - Search tasks [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_TASKS_FROM_A_PROJECT - List project tasks [Optional]

  • ASANA_CREATE_A_TASK - Create a new task [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_A_TASK - Get task details [Optional]

  • ASANA_CREATE_SUBTASK - Create a subtask [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_TASK_SUBTASKS - List subtasks [Optional]

    • Key parameters:

  • workspace: Workspace GID (required for search/creation)

  • projects: Array of project GIDs to add task to

  • name: Task name

  • notes: Task description

  • assignee: Assignee (user GID or email)

  • due_on: Due date (YYYY-MM-DD)

    • Pitfalls:

  • Workspace GID is required for most operations; get it first

  • Task GIDs are returned as strings, not integers

  • Search is workspace-scoped, not project-scoped

    • 2. Manage Projects and Sections

    When to use: User wants to create projects, manage sections, or organize tasks

    Tool sequence:

  • ASANA_GET_WORKSPACE_PROJECTS - List workspace projects [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_A_PROJECT - Get project details [Optional]

  • ASANA_CREATE_A_PROJECT - Create a new project [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_SECTIONS_IN_PROJECT - List sections [Optional]

  • ASANA_CREATE_SECTION_IN_PROJECT - Create a new section [Optional]

  • ASANA_ADD_TASK_TO_SECTION - Move task to section [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_TASKS_FROM_A_SECTION - List tasks in section [Optional]

    • Key parameters:

  • project_gid: Project GID

  • name: Project or section name

  • workspace: Workspace GID for creation

  • task: Task GID for section assignment

  • section: Section GID

    • Pitfalls:

  • Projects belong to workspaces; workspace GID is needed for creation

  • Sections are ordered within a project

  • DUPLICATE_PROJECT creates a copy with optional task inclusion

    • 3. Manage Teams and Users

    When to use: User wants to list teams, team members, or workspace users

    Tool sequence:

  • ASANA_GET_TEAMS_IN_WORKSPACE - List workspace teams [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_USERS_FOR_TEAM - List team members [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_USERS_FOR_WORKSPACE - List all workspace users [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_CURRENT_USER - Get authenticated user [Optional]

  • ASANA_GET_MULTIPLE_USERS - Get multiple user details [Optional]

    • Key parameters:

  • workspace_gid: Workspace GID

  • team_gid: Team GID

    • Pitfalls:

  • Users are workspace-scoped

  • Team membership requires the team GID

    • 4. Parallel Operations

    When to use: User needs to perform bulk operations efficiently

    Tool sequence:

  • ASANA_SUBMIT_PARALLEL_REQUESTS - Execute multiple API calls in parallel [Required]

    • Key parameters:

  • actions: Array of action objects with method, path, and data

    • Pitfalls:

  • Each action must be a valid Asana API call

  • Failed individual requests do not roll back successful ones

    • Common Patterns

    ID Resolution

    Workspace name -> GID:

    1. Call ASANA_GET_MULTIPLE_WORKSPACES
  • Find workspace by name

  • Extract gid field

    • Project name -> GID:

    1. Call ASANA_GET_WORKSPACE_PROJECTS with workspace GID
  • Find project by name

  • Extract gid field

    • Pagination

  • Asana uses cursor-based pagination with offset parameter

  • Check for next_page in response

  • Pass offset from next_page.offset for next request

    • Known Pitfalls

    GID Format:

  • All Asana IDs are strings (GIDs), not integers

  • GIDs are globally unique identifiers

    • Workspace Scoping:

  • Most operations require a workspace context

  • Tasks, projects, and users are workspace-scoped
