Linear MCP integration
Bring Linear issues, cycles, and project context into MCP workflows for triage, planning, and delivery operations.
Linear works best in Connexsus when the same issue and cycle context needs to be reused across multiple coding agents. Instead of reconnecting Linear per client, teams can manage one provider through the gateway and keep project execution data in one MCP flow.
Install path
This provider becomes available after sign-in and project assignment in Connexsus.
What you can do with Linear
- Summarize sprint blockers from current issues.
- Create or update issue context from coding agents.
- Coordinate roadmap, cycles, and project delivery from one endpoint.

FAQ
Is the Linear provider read-only?
No. Connexsus supports both read and workflow actions based on the implemented Linear tool surface.
Does Linear stay project-scoped?
Yes. Assignment and registry controls remain project-aware inside Connexsus.
Why pair Linear with GitHub or Slack?
Those combinations let coding agents move from issue context to code context to team communication without switching integrations manually.
Auth and workspace model
Connexsus separates public provider information from private runtime state. Teams install the provider after sign-in, assign it to a project, and then expose tools to supported MCP clients from one managed gateway endpoint.
