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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple LinearB tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 7 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the LinearB MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with LinearB through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 7 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
LinearB + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the LinearB MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from LinearB and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query LinearB tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from LinearB and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine LinearB data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
