🛡️ Official✓ VerifiedSSEOAuth 2.1·https://mcp.asana.com/sse

Step-by-step

Open MCP settings
Cursor → Settings → MCP, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) / .cursor/mcp.json (project).
Add the server
Use the one-click deeplink above, or add "asana": { "url": https://mcp.asana.com/sse } under mcpServers.
Authorize
On first use your client opens a Asana OAuth consent screen — approve it and tools become available.
Verify
Verify in the browser: paste https://mcp.asana.com/sse into remotemcp.net/inspector and run initialize + tools/list.

Troubleshooting OAuth / 401

A 401 Unauthorized on first connect is normal — the endpoint is OAuth-protected; let Cursor finish the browser consent flow.
If the consent window never opens, remove and re-add the server, then retry.
Check the exact challenge at our OAuth debugger.
This server only speaks SSE — make sure Cursor supports the legacy SSE transport.
Run the live endpoint through the online inspector to see the raw JSON-RPC exchange.
