Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with Linear and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.
Issue tracking and planning for product and engineering teams. Linear's hosted MCP server lets an AI client find, create and update issues, projects and comments. A read-only endpoint is available for safer lookups.
Linear hosts its MCP server at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp. It authenticates with OAuth 2.1 and dynamic client registration, or with an API key. A separate /mcp/readonly endpoint exposes lookups only. Checked 2026-10-18. source ↗
Free costs $0 and covers 2 teams and 250 issues. Basic is $10 and Business $16 per user per month, billed yearly. Checked 2026-10-18. source ↗
How Linear connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Not documented Setup shown for Claude among other MCP clients. A named plugin, skill or CLI does not by itself establish an MCP/native connector pairing. Verify the route and client setup. Linear named integration docs ↗Claude (incl. Claude Code) MCP docs ↗ | Not documented Claude (incl. Claude Code): Claude Code edits files and runs commands Linear publishes an API, but this pairing still needs network, authentication and execution-scope checks. Linear API ↗Claude (incl.

Confirmed is reserved for evidence of the specific connection route. The current named integrations include plugins, skills and CLIs, so a named platform alone does not confirm MCP or a native connector. Inferred means each side documents a relevant capability, but no document describes the pairing. Code execution still needs network and credential access; file handling still needs a compatible format and transfer direction. Not documented means the records do not establish the route. IonBin has not tested these pairings. Recorded Oct 18, 2026.
| Level | Status | Detail / source |
|---|---|---|
| Native connector / MCP | Yes | Official docs ↗ |
| API / CLI | Yes | Official docs ↗ — GraphQL API |
| Browser / manual | No | Browser access is recorded alongside a documented programmatic route. |
| File upload / import | To verify | Issue import not reviewed for this page |
Recorded Oct 18, 2026. Setup and plan limits vary; check the vendor's docs. How levels are assigned.
An official MCP server is documented for this tool. These platforms separately document MCP client support: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini (Google), Google Antigravity, Grok, Grok Bot, Lindy, LM Studio, Mistral Vibe, OpenAI Codex. This inventory does not establish compatible transport, authentication or actions for a pairing. Check the connection matrix and linked sources.
Automation hubs to assess for a custom API connection: Gumloop, Make, n8n, Zapier. Verify credentials, supported requests, limits and error handling; no configured integration is implied.
No long-form review yet. Verdict is based on research, not hands-on testing.
Hosts Git repositories with pull-request reviews, Issues, Projects and Actions for CI/CD. The official GitHub MCP server lets AI agents read repos, manage issues and PRs, and watch Actions.
All-in-one workspace for tasks, docs, chat and time tracking, with an official hosted MCP server available on all plans. Used by IonBin's founder.
Work platform built on configurable boards, with a hosted Platform MCP server (60+ tools) that lets agents read and write board data. Used by IonBin's founder.
