What is the 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.
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
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your LinearB Public API Key
3. Start managing your engineering metrics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Engineering Managers — Monitor team cycle times and delivery health via simple natural language commands
- DevOps Engineers — Automate the reporting of deployments and incidents directly from CI/CD pipelines or IDEs
- CTOs — Quickly audit organizational performance and DORA metrics without opening the dashboard

Why teams choose Vinkius for LinearB in Google ADK
The LinearB MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 7 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
LinearB for Google ADK
Every tool call from Google ADK to the LinearB MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I query cycle time for a specific team?
Use the query_software_metrics tool and include the team name or ID in the group_by parameter of your JSON query.
What is the difference between coding_time and pickup_time?
Coding time is the duration from the first commit to the PR creation. Pickup time is the duration from the PR creation to the first review activity.
Can I report a release from the agent?
Absolutely. Use the record_new_deployment tool with the Git SHA or tag and the repository ID to inform LinearB that a deployment has occurred.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
