Turn a documentation tag into a library ID

Use the tag added to a task to identify the documentation source the team wants to look up.

Trigger

Tag Added to Task

Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.

Action

Resolve-library-id

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.

Why this helps

A documentation tag signals research work, but someone still has to identify the correct library source.

  • Use the added tag as a research cue.
  • Resolve the library name to the ID required for Context7 queries.
  • Keep the result associated with the tagged task.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and Context7 MCP once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the added tag name as the library or framework candidate and resolve it to a Context7-compatible ID; note that the event's parent identifies the tag.
  • 4Pick the Asana Tag Added to Task trigger for the project.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real task and a tag naming a library.

Questions about this workflow

Where does the tag name come from in this event?

For Asana tag events, the resource is the task and the parent is the tag, so parent.gid gives the tag GID.

Does this retrieve the docs?

No. This resolves the tag's library name to an ID. A query-docs action can use that ID to retrieve documentation.

Query-docs

Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.
