MCP Linear connects AI assistants to Linear project management via the Linear GraphQL API, enabling issue and project management automation.
MCP Linear is relatively safe for read-only operations. Write operations pose a moderate risk, as unauthorized access could lead to data modification within Linear. Secure storage and management of the Linear API token are crucial.
Performance depends on the Linear API's responsiveness and the complexity of the queries. Optimize queries to minimize API calls.
Cost is primarily determined by the number of API calls made to Linear. Monitor API usage to avoid exceeding rate limits and incurring unexpected costs.

API Key
MCP Linear is relatively safe for read-only operations. Write operations pose a moderate risk, as unauthorized access could lead to data modification within Linear. Secure storage and management of the Linear API token are crucial.
The level of autonomy depends on the specific tools used and the configuration of the AI assistant. Exercise caution when enabling write operations.
Production Tip
Implement robust error handling and logging to monitor the integration's behavior and identify potential issues.
Log in to Linear, go to Settings > Security & access > Personal API Keys, and create a new API key.
Immediately revoke the compromised token and generate a new one. Investigate any unauthorized activity.
You will need separate MCP Linear instances, each configured with the API token for the respective organization.
No, MCP Linear does not currently support webhooks. It relies on polling the Linear API.
Linear API keys do not support granular scopes. Limit the actions the AI assistant can perform to minimize potential damage.
Refer to the Linear API documentation for the latest rate limit information. Implement throttling in your AI assistant to avoid exceeding these limits.
No, MCP Linear is specifically designed for Linear. You would need a different MCP server for other tools.
