SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Coordinating issue tracking, sprint planning, and project updates in Linear requires constant context switching between your editor and the Linear app. This Skill lets an AI agent read, create, and update Linear tickets, projects, and comments directly through the official Linear MCP server. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Issue Management: List, search, create, and update issues with priority, labels, assignees, estimates, and due dates across teams and projects. - Project & Team Operations: Create and update projects, list teams and users, and audit workspace documents and comments. - Guided Workflows: Built-in playbooks for sprint planning, bug triage, documentation audits, workload balancing, release planning, and retrospectives. - Use Case: Ask your agent to triage this week's critical bugs: it lists high-priority issues, ranks them by impact, moves top items to In Progress, and summarizes remaining blockers. ## Quick Start Connect the Linear MCP server at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp, authenticate via OAuth, then ask your agent to list my open Linear issues and create a follow-up ticket for anything blocked.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect the Linear MCP server to my AI agent?▼

Add the Linear MCP server using the streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.linear.app/mcp, then authenticate via OAuth 2.1. Setup commands are provided for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.

How do I create and update Linear issues with an AI agent?▼

Use the create_issue and update_issue MCP tools with parameters like title, teamId, priority, assigneeId, labels, and dueDate. The recommended workflow reads existing issues first, then batches creates or updates with all required fields.

Does the Linear MCP server work with Claude Code and Cursor?▼

Yes, the Linear MCP server supports Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. Most clients connect via the streamable HTTP endpoint, with an SSE fallback at https://mcp.linear.app/sse.

Why is my Linear MCP connection failing or showing authentication errors?▼

Connection failures usually stem from stale cached credentials or expired OAuth tokens. Clear cached auth with rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth, re-run the OAuth flow, verify workspace permissions, and on Windows try the SSE transport via WSL.

What workflows can I automate with Linear issue management?▼

Supported workflows include sprint planning, bug triage, documentation audits, team workload balancing, release planning with milestones, cross-project dependency tracking, stale status updates, smart labeling, and sprint retrospectives.
