Asana MCP Server

What do you like best about the product?

I like the UI/UX aspects of collaboration, custom template, and dependencies features. They help the team stay on the same project and give everyone visibility into the status (or lack thereof) of specific tasks or an overall vertical that we’re working on. Also integration with Slack is helpful because we can pull tasks directly from chats within our DMs or channels. With templates, we can also build in common elements across projects that share the same known tasks, so we don’t miss repeatable steps on specific projects. Being able to analyze common points between tasks ahead of time would make it easier to streamline how we create those templates. And if we already had pre-built dependencies, we could use them as a starting point for suggesting due dates, whether we’re planning forward or working backward from a set deadline.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think what is unfortunate, is the lack of ability to custom assign roles. To have all the members we want to have on Asana it's much higher overhead than what's worth spending at this time, however, if there were tiered roles that we could assign and one person (for instance) would have a basic "view" seat at $5/mo but another who's Admin was at a higher $30/mo, with a middle ground of "regular user" being at $15/mo that would allow more of the team to be on the platform, without necessarily having the ability (or need) to utilize the platform to it's full capacity, while also having the company analyze the performance of who actually needs an Admin seat. Also, interchanging those roles would be helpful for onboarding purposes; for instance if a new member joins, and we want to have visibility into a project without them actually being able to mark something as complete - but rather just a backseat watcher, they could have a view only seat so they could track how the status of a task or project goes along the way and when the team is ready they could be moved into a different tier role at a higher price paid seat.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Honestly, prior to utilizing Asana, there was no way of tracking tasks and projects. The KPIs were essentially non visible in the sense of being able to track/prove performance of a team member or overall department. Being able to utilize project tracking status allows us to see how far along each vertical is OR how long a project has to be complete.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that Asana can use AI to create reports about previous work as well as upcoming weekly tasks. The integration with Google Calendar and Slack helps keep my team on track and improves communication. The support resources and training available have also been very helpful in ensuring we’re using Asana to its fullest potential.

Asana’s performance has been excellent, especially in how smoothly it integrates with other systems. It works well for managing different teams and keeping projects organized while still allowing them to remain separate, which fits the way my team operates.

My favorite part is the interface. I can customize my front page to show exactly what I want to see, including the tasks I have for the week. I can also add quick notes, which is really helpful.

One area for improvement is pricing. I understand that costs increase as organizations grow, but as a nonprofit, it would be beneficial to have more affordable pricing options specifically designed for nonprofit organizations.

What do you dislike about the product?

The cost that you have to pay for a different version for goals

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the biggest problems Asana solves is making it easier to work across teams. Instead of relying on emails or multiple spreadsheets, everyone can collaborate in one place, track project progress, assign tasks, and communicate effectively. This has improved teamwork, increased accountability, and made it easier to stay aligned on deadlines and priorities. As a result, my team works more efficiently, and projects are completed with better organization and visibility across departments.

I like Asana’s rule capabilities, especially being able to create them with guidance from the AI assistant. I also like the way projects are organized, and the wide range of integrations available, including MCPs for AI.

What do you dislike about the product?

There’s nothing in particular that I dislike about Asana, but I would like to understand why we don’t have a client feature, rather than only projects. I’m not sure whether this is something my company has decided, but having that option would be helpful for overall organization.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I really like being able to keep track of all my tasks across multiple clients, and to manage and maintain everything in one place using the portfolio feature.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about Asana is how easy it is to organize projects and keep everyone aligned. The interface is clean and intuitive, so it's simple to create projects, assign tasks, set due dates, and track progress without a steep learning curve. I use the list and board views regularly, and being able to drag and drop tasks between stages makes managing workflows much faster.

One of the biggest benefits is having all project-related information in one place. Instead of searching through emails or multiple documents, I can attach files, leave comments, create subtasks, and communicate directly within each task. This has made collaboration much more efficient and reduced miscommunication.

I also appreciate the automation features that eliminate repetitive work, such as automatically assigning tasks, updating statuses, or notifying team members when milestones are reached. The timeline and calendar views provide a clear picture of project deadlines, making it easier to identify potential scheduling conflicts before they become problems.

Another valuable feature is Asana's integration with other business applications, which allows work to flow smoothly across different tools without constantly switching between platforms. Performance has been reliable, with quick loading times and very little downtime in my experience.

Overall, Asana has helped improve organization, accountability, and visibility across projects. It has made it easier to prioritize work, meet deadlines, and collaborate effectively, ultimately saving time and increasing productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?

While my overall experience with Asana has been positive, there are a few areas that could be improved. Some of the more advanced features, such as reporting, custom workflows, and portfolio management, have a learning curve and can take time to fully understand. New users may need additional onboarding before they can take full advantage of everything the platform offers.

The notification system can also become overwhelming on larger projects if notification settings aren't customized. It's easy to receive updates for many tasks, which can create unnecessary noise until preferences are adjusted.

Another drawback is that some valuable features are only available in higher-tier paid plans. Smaller teams or organizations on a limited budget may find themselves wanting capabilities that require an upgrade.

Finally, while Asana offers many ways to organize work, the number of available views and customization options can feel overwhelming at first. Once the workspace is set up, it's very effective, but the initial configuration takes some time and planning.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Asana solves the challenge of keeping projects, tasks, and team communication organized in one central location. Before using it, it was easy for action items to get lost in email threads or spreadsheets. With Asana, every task has a clear owner, due date, priority, and status, making it much easier to stay on track and hold team members accountable.

The platform has improved collaboration by giving everyone real-time visibility into project progress. Instead of scheduling frequent status meetings, team members can quickly see what has been completed, what is in progress, and what still needs attention. This has reduced unnecessary follow-up and improved overall efficiency.

Asana has also helped with planning and workload management. Features like timelines, calendars, and project boards make it easier to prioritize work, identify potential bottlenecks, and adjust schedules before deadlines are affected. The result has been better organization, increased productivity, and more confidence that projects will be completed on time.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Asana is that we can comment and check in directly within the program. We assign projects to the whole team, so everyone knows what others are working on and what needs to happen next.

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish I were an expert at organizing in Asana. I can easily get overwhelmed by all the tasks assigned to me each day, and I often find myself reaching for a pen and paper just to clear my head and figure out what needs to be done right now.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find that Asana helps us catch any pieces that might otherwise slip by. It also lets our team do a thorough review together with out having a meeting or a confusing email before we move on to the next stage.

What do you like best about the product?

I find Asana very useful, especially for keeping track of various aspects of my busy schedule in aviation advisory. The way Asana allows me to compartmentalize things using sections and tasks is incredibly helpful, making it easy to follow each step of complex projects like setting up airlines. Asana sets it all up very clearly for me, and when combined with Claude, it's a fantastic fit. Even though I initially used Asana years ago, my paid subscription now has been remarkable with no complaints at all. Plus, there’s always more to learn, which is why I'm involved in a training course to uncover all the great tips I might have missed.

What do you dislike about the product?

I think Asana AI could improve by providing realistic dates for completing tasks, especially in aviation where things don't always happen in a logical sequence or within planned time frames. This would be particularly helpful given the bureaucratic pace of some regulatory environments. Also, I find setting up Asana quite complicated if you're not familiar with it. It's not for the faint-hearted; you really need somebody's help to set it up, if you want to use it effectively. I don't have an enterprise subscription, which makes sorting projects into portfolios impossible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find Asana very useful for organizing aviation advisory projects by compartmentalizing tasks and sections. It helps me manage processes like hiring, training, legal, operational and maintenance aspects ensuring nothing is missed. It works great with Claude for streamlined project management.
