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.
Pydantic AI validates every Linear (Issue Tracking & PM) tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 8 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
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
