Question 1

What does the Linear MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Linear integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Linear to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Issue tracking, project management, roadmap planning, and modern development workflow automation. It lets agents call Linear actions like List issues, Create issue, Update issue, and Get issue without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Linear actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Linear MCP connector exposes 7 scoped actions including List issues, Create issue, Update issue, and Get issue. Each action is mapped to a specific Linear OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Linear?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Linear. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Linear using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Linear controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Linear integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Linear tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.

Question 5

What are common use cases for the Linear MCP integration?

Accepted Answer

AI agents use the Linear connector to automate work in Linear on behalf of users — common use cases include task triage, status updates, and cross-team coordination. See more Project Management integrations in the Project Management category.
