Asana Automation via Rube MCP

通过Rube MCP实现Asana自动化

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

通过Composio的Asana工具包，借助Rube MCP实现Asana操作自动化。

Prerequisites

前提条件

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

必须已连接Rube MCP（需确保RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS可用）
通过
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
```
并使用
```
asana
```
工具包建立有效的Asana连接
请始终先调用
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
以获取最新的工具架构

Setup

设置步骤

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

获取Rube MCP：在客户端配置中添加

https://rube.app/mcp

作为MCP服务器。无需API密钥 — 只需添加端点即可使用。

通过确认
```
RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
```
能正常响应，验证Rube MCP是否可用
调用
```
RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
```
并指定工具包为
```
asana
```
如果连接状态未显示为ACTIVE，请按照返回的授权链接完成Asana OAuth认证
在运行任何工作流之前，确认连接状态显示为ACTIVE

```
- Search tasks [Optional]
```
ASANA_GET_TASKS_FROM_A_PROJECT
```
- List project tasks [Optional]
```

Search is workspace-scoped, not project-scoped

适用场景：用户需要创建、搜索、列出或整理任务

工具执行顺序：

```
ASANA_GET_MULTIPLE_WORKSPACES
```
- 获取工作区ID [必要前提]
```
ASANA_SEARCH_TASKS_IN_WORKSPACE
```

查询团队成员需要团队GID

4. Parallel Operations

4. 并行操作

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

适用场景：用户需要高效执行批量操作

工具执行顺序：

```
ASANA_SUBMIT_PARALLEL_REQUESTS
```
- 并行执行多个API调用 [必填]

关键参数：

```
actions
```
：包含方法、路径和数据的操作对象数组

注意事项：

每个操作必须是有效的Asana API调用
个别请求失败不会回滚已成功的请求

Common Patterns

常见模式

ID Resolution

ID解析

Workspace name -> GID:

1. Call ASANA_GET_MULTIPLE_WORKSPACES
2. Find workspace by name
3. Extract gid field

Project name -> GID:

1. Call ASANA_GET_WORKSPACE_PROJECTS with workspace GID
2. Find project by name
3. Extract gid field

工作区名称 -> GID：

1. 调用ASANA_GET_MULTIPLE_WORKSPACES
2. 根据名称查找工作区
3. 提取gid字段

项目名称 -> GID：

1. 使用工作区GID调用ASANA_GET_WORKSPACE_PROJECTS
2. 根据名称查找项目
3. 提取gid字段

Pagination

分页处理

Asana uses cursor-based pagination with
```
offset
```
parameter
Check for
```
next_page
```
in response
Pass
```
offset
```
from
```
next_page.offset
```
for next request

Asana使用基于游标（cursor）的分页机制，通过
```
offset
```
参数实现
检查响应中的
```
next_page
```
字段
将
```
next_page.offset
```
中的值作为下一次请求的
```
offset
```
参数传入

Known Pitfalls

已知注意事项

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

GID格式：

所有Asana ID均为字符串类型（GIDs），而非整数
GID是全局唯一标识符

工作区范围限制：

大多数操作需要工作区上下文
任务、项目和用户均以工作区为范围
