Feature Request: Add Goal Metric Update to Claude-Asana Integration

English Forum Developers & API

Category: Developers & API

Hello Asana Developer Community,

I’m actively using the new Claude-Asana integration that was recently launched as part of the Anthropic partnership. While the integration is incredibly powerful for automating workflows, I’ve discovered a critical missing feature that would greatly enhance its value for organizations using Asana Goals.

The Gap: The current Claude-Asana connector can read goal metrics but cannot update them programmatically. The Asana API already supports this through the POST /goals/{goal_gid}/setMetricCurrentValue endpoint, but this function isn’t exposed in the Claude integration.

Real-World Use Case: I’m using Claude to:

  1. Query performance metrics from our data warehouse (Metabase/Datadog)

  2. Calculate KPIs like storage utilization percentages

  3. Update multiple Asana goals with these metrics

Currently, step 3 requires manual intervention for each goal, which defeats the automation purpose.

Specific Example: Today I calculated that our storage usage for several customers is at critical levels (99%+ capacity). I can use Claude to identify these issues and calculate the exact percentages, but I cannot push these updates to our Asana goals that track these metrics. This means manually updating dozens of goals instead of automating the entire workflow.

Request: Please add the setMetricCurrentValue function to the Claude-Asana connector. This would enable:

  • Automated OKR/goal progress updates from external data sources

  • Real-time synchronization between business metrics and Asana goals

  • Bulk updates of goal metrics without manual intervention

  • True end-to-end automation of performance tracking

Technical Details: The function would need to:

  • Accept a goal GID and new current_number_value

  • Support the same authentication as other connector functions

  • Return the updated goal metric object

This enhancement would make the Claude-Asana integration invaluable for companies using Goals for data-driven OKR tracking. Many organizations pull metrics from various sources (CRMs, data warehouses, monitoring tools) and need to reflect these in Asana goals.

Is this on the roadmap? Are others experiencing similar limitations? Would love to hear from the Asana team about the possibility of adding this to the connector.

Thanks for building such a powerful integration - looking forward to seeing it grow!

Welcome, @anon97347861, and thanks for this useful and detailed request.

I’ve moved it to English Forum > Developers & API where I think it will get the best attention.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi @anon97347861 and welcome to the Asana Forum!

You’re correct – this tool isn’t currently exposed in Asana MCP, and I don’t see it on our roadmap at the moment. That said, I’ve shared your feedback with our MCP team so they have visibility into what MCP users need.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us!
