Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Linear Personal API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API, and generate a new high-fidelity Personal API Key.
Can I check project progress via AI?
Yes! The get_linear_project tool allows your agent to retrieve high-fidelity progress metrics and health data for any specific project.
How do I list my active cycles?
Use the list_linear_cycles tool to retrieve the complete high-fidelity directory of cycles along with their technical status and progress metrics.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
