How to connect Asana to Hermes Agent

Pairing is a two-step handshake: run hermes clawlink begin, approve the link in your browser, then run hermes clawlink finish. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run hermes clawlink begin again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with --enable, then verify with hermes clawlink test.

Reconnect Asana from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded.

Asana tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Asana call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again.

Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs.

Search engines answer this shape with Asana's own vocabulary, and the two causes they teach map onto this integration. First: the connected account is not a member of the project or does not hold the granular role the action needs. Asana's roles are Admin, Editor, and Commenter, and several tools (adding members, changing project fields) need at least Editor on that project. Second, and this is the cause the engines never teach: the agent passed a placeholder id from documentation, like an example gid, instead of a real one. Asana ids are global unique ids, not numbers you can guess. Ask the agent to run a list tool like asana_get_multiple_tasks or asana_get_multiple_projects first and retry with the real gid from the result.

Ask the agent to diagnose it:

Call asana_get_current_user and then asana_get_multiple_projects, tell me which workspaces and projects the account can see, then run the failing tool once more and quote the exact error.

On this SERP the error usually belongs to Asana's own MCP server, not to a hosted plugin: Asana shut down its V1 MCP endpoint and clients must point at https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp, clear the local mcp-remote cache, and re-authenticate. If you are running Asana's official server, that is the fix. On the ClawLink hosted flow the equivalent error is 'Tool schema not loaded yet': schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs, so wait a few seconds and retry, and reconnect from the dashboard only if every call fails in a fresh chat.

Try reconnecting Asana and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete.

Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Asana: link your Asana account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Asana API through 153 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

Install the plugin with hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable, then pair once: run hermes clawlink begin, approve the link in your browser, and run hermes clawlink finish. Connect Asana in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage.

About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Asana in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message.

The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Asana working from chat.

Hermes Agent, the Nous Research agent runtime. ChatGPT asked 'which Hermes' on 2 of 3 runs of the head query, so the disambiguation is worth one sentence: this page is about the Hermes Agent runtime, not the Hermes ecosystem's other tools or any product named after the Greek god. If you run Hermes Agent and want Asana from chat, this is the integration you would connect.

No. The connection is hosted OAuth: you sign in to Asana in the browser once, and the token lives on the ClawLink server, not in a config file on your machine. You never open Asana's developer console. What you do keep is your Asana account's permissions, which is the point: the agent acts with the same access your account has, and Asana's own per-account rules still apply to every call.

The connection uses Asana's OAuth consent flow, the same mechanism Asana uses for any third-party app: you approve the scopes on Asana's own screen, the agent never sees your password, and the connection can be removed from the ClawLink dashboard at any time, after which Asana rejects further calls. The practical boundary to know is that your agent can do whatever your Asana account can do, so connect with the account whose permissions you intend it to have.
