Perplexity

Real-time issue and cycle visibility

Feed your UI live state from your workspace. Use `list_issues` to populate your dashboard components the moment a user asks a question. Monitor sprint progress by piping `list_cycles` output into your charts. The data arrives as a stream, letting you render status updates while the request is still active.

Context-aware Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) integration

Connect your agent to specific work items using `get_issue`. This gives your application deep context on technical debt or feature requirements immediately. Keep track of who is working on what by calling `get_viewer` and `list_users`. Your interface will always reflect the current authenticated user's permissions.

Project and team organization mapping

Structure your app's navigation based on your actual workspace setup. Use `list_projects` and `list_teams` to filter content for your end users. Categorize incoming requests using `list_labels`. This lets your AI client filter issue data by metadata tags, ensuring the user only sees relevant development tasks.

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();

Common questions about Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Yes. This MCP server connects directly to your workspace. You just point your client to the endpoint and start calling tools.

It does. The tools are designed to work with streaming responses, so your UI updates as the agent retrieves information.
