Asana MCP Server does not support html_notes for updating tasks

Hi!

I am the author of GitHub - roychri/mcp-server-asana and I am super hyped that you guys released an official MCP SSE Server for Asana. I hope my code helped you out a litle.
I see the function names are pretty much the same, pretty cool!

I noticed that your MCP function asana_update_task does NOT support html_notes, only notes, which does not support XML tags.

I think that is an important feature that should be added to your implementation.

Otherwise, when the AI messes up the notes during the creation and it needs to be updated, it loses ALL the formatting.

PS: It would help if the API responses included more details about WHY the xml failed to parse. The AI seem to want to send

often but your API doesn’t accept it and the error is vague. If it says that

is not supported, the AI could retry knowing what to fix.

Thanks!

Christian
