Setting up with Highlight

- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
asanaCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install Node.js (v14+), clone the repository, run npm install, then copy .env.example to .env and populate ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN, ASANA_PROJECT_ID, and ASANA_WORKSPACE_ID. Build with npm run build and start the server with npm start. The server uses stdio transport; a simple command-line client (simple-client.sh) is included for testing, and the server can be integrated into MCP by adding a "asana" entry to the MCP configuration with the path to dist/server.js.
