MCP Server for Asana

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/tool-handler.ts:246-252 (handler)

  The primary MCP tool handler case that processes the tool call, destructures arguments, invokes the Asana client method, and formats the response.

  case "asana_get_project_sections": {
    const { project_id, ...opts } = args;
    const response = await asanaClient.getProjectSections(project_id, opts);
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response) }],
    };
  }

• src/tools/project-tools.ts:83-100 (schema)

  Defines the tool's metadata including name, description, and input schema for validation.

  export const getProjectSectionsTool: Tool = {
    name: "asana_get_project_sections",
    description: "Get sections in a project",
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        project_id: {
          type: "string",
          description: "The project ID to get sections for"
        },
        opt_fields: {
          type: "string",
          description: "Comma-separated list of optional fields to include"
        }
      },
      required: ["project_id"]
    }
  };

• src/tool-handler.ts:61-103 (registration)

  Registers the getProjectSectionsTool in the list_of_tools array exported for MCP server tool listing.

  export const tools: Tool[] = [
    listWorkspacesTool,
    searchProjectsTool,
    getProjectTool,
    getProjectTaskCountsTool,
    getProjectSectionsTool,
    createSectionForProjectTool,
    createProjectForWorkspaceTool,
    updateProjectTool,
    reorderSectionsTool,
    getProjectStatusTool,
    getProjectStatusesForProjectTool,
    createProjectStatusTool,
    deleteProjectStatusTool,
    searchTasksTool,
    getTaskTool,
    createTaskTool,
    updateTaskTool,
    createSubtaskTool,
    getMultipleTasksByGidTool,
    addTaskToSectionTool,
    getTasksForSectionTool,
    getProjectHierarchyTool,
    getSubtasksForTaskTool,
    getTasksForProjectTool,
    getTasksForTagTool,
    getTagsForWorkspaceTool,
    addTagsToTaskTool,
    addTaskDependenciesTool,
    addTaskDependentsTool,
    setParentForTaskTool,
    addFollowersToTaskTool,
    getStoriesForTaskTool,
    createTaskStoryTool,
    getTeamsForUserTool,
    getTeamsForWorkspaceTool,
    addMembersForProjectTool,
    addFollowersForProjectTool,
    getUsersForWorkspaceTool,
    getAttachmentsForObjectTool,
    uploadAttachmentForObjectTool,
    downloadAttachmentTool
  ];

• src/asana-client-wrapper.ts:447-453 (helper)

  Core helper method in AsanaClientWrapper that performs the actual Asana API call to retrieve project sections.

  async getProjectSections(projectId: string, opts: any = {}) {
    // Only include opts if opt_fields was actually provided
    const options = opts.opt_fields ? opts : {};
    const sections = new Asana.SectionsApi();
    const response = await sections.getSectionsForProject(projectId, options);
    return response.data;
  }
