The Asana plugin for Claude has transitioned to a V2 MCP server. This change deprecates the V1 beta server, which is scheduled to shut down on August 5, 2026. The update requires a new setup process for users.
Key Points
- The V1 beta server (
https://mcp.asana.com/sse) for the Asana plugin is deprecated. - The V1 beta server will shut down on August 5, 2026.
- The V2 server (
https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp) requires users to register their own Asana OAuth app. - Dynamic Client Registration is not supported by the V2 server.
- A one-time
claude mcp addsetup is now required, as detailed in Asana's official Claude Code instructions. - The update includes a
/asana-setupslash command to guide the one-time setup. - The plugin and marketplace descriptions have been updated to reference V2.
Context
According to the Claude Plugins marketplace, the V1 beta server was an SSE (Server-Sent Events) endpoint with automatic OAuth. The V2 server uses streamable HTTP with manual OAuth. The change removes the bundled MCP server entry in favor of a documented one-time setup process.
Why It Matters
This migration impacts users of the Asana plugin for Claude, requiring them to adapt to a new authentication method and setup process to maintain functionality. Builders and users should be aware of the V1 server's deprecation date.
What To Do
- Note the August 5, 2026, shutdown date for the V1 beta server.
- Review the updated plugin and marketplace descriptions for the Asana plugin.
- Utilize the
/asana-setupslash command for guidance on the new V2 OAuth setup. - Consult Asana's official Claude Code instructions for the one-time
claude mcp addsetup.
