Asana FAQ

FAQ from Asana: Task Mastery & Project Flexibility

How do I integrate this with the official Asana API?

You must configure the server to connect with Asana’s official SDK or REST API endpoints, as the current implementation only logs actions to the console.

Why is HTTP/SSE transport not supported?

Compatibility issues with the SSEServerTransport class currently block HTTP/SSE. This limitation is flagged for resolution in future updates.

Can I assign tasks to multiple users?

The current assignee parameter supports single-user assignments only. Multi-assignee support may be added in future versions.
