Obiguard Desktop + Asana
Read your Asana tasks and projects in Obiguard Desktop, signed in as you and governed by your org's rules.
What is Obiguard Desktop?
Obiguard Desktop is an AI chat app for organizations. With the Asana connector, team members can ask questions about their work in plain language, such as what is due this week, what is in a project, or the details of a task, and get answers from Asana inside their chat. Each person signs in with their own Asana account, so Obiguard Desktop can only see and do what that person can already see and do in Asana. Organization admins decide which Asana tools are available, which ones need approval first, and which are disabled. Every tool call is checked against the organization’s policies and recorded in its audit trail.
How to connect Obiguard Desktop + Asana?
Prerequisites:
An Obiguard organization (free to start at https://obiguard.ai/register). Obiguard Desktop supports sign-in with a work email or a Google account invited to that organization.
Obiguard Desktop installed, from https://obiguard.ai/desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux), the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store.
An Asana account. On Asana Enterprise+, an Asana admin must approve Obiguard Desktop as an MCP client in app management.
One-time setup by the Obiguard organization admin:
In Obiguard Desktop, open Admin → Connectors → Add connector and choose Asana. Obiguard provides the Asana OAuth app, so no additional credentials are required. Click Add. The connector is created in switched off state, with no tools enabled.
Turn the connector on and choose where it is offered (Chats, Coding, or both).
Select “Connect my account to list tools” and sign in to Asana in the browser.
Choose which tools users may access. Read tools are suggested; create and update tools are off by default and can be set to “Ask first” so a reviewer approves each call. Select Save.
User Connection Steps:
Open Obiguard Desktop and go to Connectors. Asana will appear as “Not connected”.
Click Connect. The default browser opens Asana’s sign-in and authorization page (OAuth, via Asana’s hosted MCP server at https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp).
Sign in with your Asana account and approve the requested access. The browser returns you to Obiguard Desktop, which will now display Asana as connected.
In a chat, ask about your tasks in plain words, for example, “What is due this week in the Website project?”. Desktop shows which Asana tool was used and the result. Every call runs with your own Asana account and is recorded in your organization’s audit trail.
To disconnect, click Disconnect on the Connectors page; the authorization also appears under your Asana account’s integrations.
