About Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) MCP Server
Connect your Linear workspace to any AI agent and take full control of your issue tracking and product development lifecycle through natural conversation.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) tools. Connect 8 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Issue Orchestration — List and retrieve recent issues from your workspace, including their exact workflow states and assignee tracking directly from your agent
- Deep Context Inspection — Pinpoint specific issues to extract full descriptions, assigned labels, and internal priority levels for rapid status updates
- Project Monitoring — List all active mapped projects and track their organizational scopes, active state flags, and timeline limits securely
- Sprint & Cycle Audit — Monitor current tracking sprint cycle bounds and temporal limits to understand team progress across active iteration loops
- Team Management — Enumerate all logical team boundaries and workspace members to route operational assignments and project scopes efficiently
- Workflow Taxonomy — Discover global metadata tags and labels used to categorize issues, ensuring your AI agent understands your internal organization rules
The Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
