Linear MCP and Claude skills
Pull cycle progress, the triage queue, stale issues and project health from Linear, and post what shipped and what is stuck.
Connect Linear to your agent (MCP)
- Linear MCP server, Linear's official remote server at
https://mcp.linear.app/mcp. Add Linear from Claude's connector directory, or runclaude mcp add --transport http linear https://mcp.linear.app/mcpin Claude Code, and sign in with OAuth. - GraphQL API with a personal API key. Create a key in Linear's settings under Security & access, store it in
LINEAR_API_KEY, and send it as theAuthorizationheader with noBearerprefix. For a workspace bot, an OAuth app with thereadscope does the same job.
When you create the key, give it Read access and only the teams in the report; it then can't create or edit issues.

Linear has a single GraphQL API at https://api.linear.app/graphql. Reports read issues filtered by team, workflow state type (triage, backlog, unstarted, started, completed, canceled), assignee, label, priority and updatedAt; team.activeCycle for the current cycle with progress, scopeHistory and completedScopeHistory; and projects with their status, health, targetDate, progress and latest project updates.
Engineering leads and PMs schedule cycle progress midweek and at cycle end, issues sitting in a started state for a week or more, the triage queue with its oldest items, a weekly changelog of completed issues, and project health across the roadmap.
