A setup procedure for connecting Asana, a project and task management service, through MCP. It checks for the Asana OAuth app credentials needed for the connection.

Use it when connecting to Asana, configuring Asana, or fixing an Asana MCP connection that lacks credentials.

It identifies missing authentication settings before Asana tools are used, so connection failures can be addressed first.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00021	$0.00685
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.00342
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00137

Security

Grade A, and why

asana-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Asana MCP Setup

Purpose

This skill ensures the Asana MCP server is correctly authenticated before any Asana tools are used.

The Asana MCP connection requires two credentials from a registered Asana OAuth app:

ASANA_CLIENT_ID
ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET

These must be set as environment variables in the user's shell profile.

When to run this skill

Run this skill automatically if:

The user asks to connect to Asana
The user asks to use any Asana tool and the MCP connection fails
The user says something like "set up Asana" or "configure Asana"

Steps

1. Check if credentials are set

Check whether ASANA_CLIENT_ID and ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET are set in the user's environment. You can do this by running:

echo $ASANA_CLIENT_ID
echo $ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET

If both return non-empty values, skip to Step 4.

2. Guide the user to create an Asana OAuth app

If credentials are missing, tell the user:

To connect Cursor to Asana, you need to register an OAuth app in Asana's developer console. Here's how:

Go to https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps

Click Create new app and select "MCP App" as the app type

Give it a name (e.g. "Cursor MCP")

Under OAuth, add this redirect URI: cursor://anysphere.cursor-mcp/oauth/callback

Copy your Client ID and Client Secret

3. Help the user set environment variables

Once the user has their credentials, instruct them to add these lines to their shell profile:

For zsh (macOS default) — add to ~/.zshrc:

export ASANA_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id_here"
export ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret_here"

For bash — add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:

export ASANA_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id_here"
export ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret_here"

For Windows (WSL) — add to ~/.bashrc:

export ASANA_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id_here"
export ASANA_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret_here"

After saving, tell the user to run:
