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 toname: Task namenotes: Task descriptionassignee: 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
