About LinearB MCP Server
Connect your LinearB account to any AI agent to automate your engineering intelligence and DORA metrics reporting. This MCP server enables your agent to query cycle time, track deployments, and report incidents directly from natural language interfaces.
Claude Code registers LinearB as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 7 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where LinearB data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Metric Ingestion — Query complex engineering metrics including cycle time, coding time, and pickup time across teams
- Deployment Management — Inform LinearB of new software releases by reporting Git refs (SHAs or tags) programmatically
- Incident Tracking — Report and list engineering incidents to maintain accurate Change Failure Rate and MTTR metrics
- Metadata Oversight — List teams and connected repositories to map technical IDs to organizational structures
- DORA Analytics — Retrieve aggregated performance data to identify bottlenecks in your delivery pipeline
The LinearB MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
