Integrate Asana into Slack - Tasks at Your Fingertips with MCP

Tired of juggling apps? With Runbear’s Asana Slack integration, an AI helper can create, track, and manage tasks directly within Slack!

Asana is a great tool for project management, but it’s easy to get bogged down with context-switching. If you need to know how a project is doing, you have to ping your teammate on Slack and wait, or dig through Asana tasks to get the full picture.

Not anymore. With Runbear’s Asana Slack integration, all this can be done by an AI helper. Break free of task management and focus on getting the job done. From creating new assignments to checking project progress, everything is done in Slack - where conversations already happen.

Go beyond simple queries with the power of an LLM (like OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini) in your Slack. It can understand complex topics, summarize and create visualizations. Runbear is more than an Asana Slack integration. Instead, it offers an intelligent assistant that knows the context of both Asana and Slack.

How it Works

Simplify your team’s workflow:

  1. Ask your question (eg “did i miss anything this week?” or “how is the product launch going?”)
  2. Runbear accesses Asana using MCP, searching for relevant tasks and information
  3. Runbear responds in Slack within seconds

Set Up Runbear in <10 Minutes

Runbear is easier than ever. Set it up before your morning coffee brews. No coding, no flowcharts.

  • Create Your Agent: visit runbear.io and select Quick Start

An AI agent that connects with Asana using MCP. It allows our team to read, write, edit etc Asana tasks and returns information in a concise, formatted way.
  • Let Runbear Work: the AI will craft its own system prompt, using best practices for prompt engineering - tweak it if you want, or let it roll
  • Integrate Asana: add the MCP server for Asana with a click and provide credentials
  • Connect to Slack: invite the bot to a channel like #product-launch
