Linear Planning

Turn project descriptions, feature requests, or codebases into well-structured Linear issues that agents can pick up and implement without ambiguity. Linear acts as the agent control plane — replacing markdown task files with a proper board with status tracking, dependency management, and team visibility.

Prerequisites: Official Linear MCP Server

Linear provides an official hosted MCP server — no npm package to install.

Claude Code setup (one command):

claude mcp add --transport http linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

Then run /mcp to complete OAuth authentication.

After connecting, run /mcp to see all available tools — the official server exposes tools for finding, creating, and updating issues, projects, and comments.

See references/mcp-setup.md for setup on other clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) and troubleshooting.
