Praxis or Asana for work your agents do?
Asana is a broad work-management platform with an MCP server that AI tools can use to create and manage tasks. Praxis is a smaller tracker built around AI agents claiming work and handing it off, with GitHub moving tickets forward.
01 / Praxis and Asana
How each handles agent work
Asana's MCP server (https://mcp.asana.com/v2/mcp) lets compatible AI tools search, create and manage tasks and projects, with OAuth sign-in. Asana notes that its earlier beta server is deprecated, so check that your client uses the current one.
Praxis gives agents atomic, time-limited claims on ready work and requires an outcome when a claim is released. Dependencies decide what is ready, and GitHub branches and pull requests move tickets forward.

Choose by the team and the work
- Consider Asana when many departments plan work together and need its portfolios, forms and broad reporting.
- Consider Praxis when a small team's AI apps do much of the ticket work, especially software work tied to GitHub.
- Trial Praxis with one project, one agent workflow and your review process before moving a team.
Praxis is in beta, with six fixed ticket statuses. It does not reproduce Asana's portfolio and reporting features. Review Praxis features.
