There are two ways to set this up: - Via [Composio Connect MCP](https://dashboard.composio.dev/) - Via the [Composio CLI](https://dashboard.composio.dev/) ## Also integrate Linear with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/vscode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides a single MCP server or CLI tool that exposes a set of meta-tools, allowing you to: - Connect to 1,000+ apps with on-demand tool loading, so you do not fill your LLM context window with unnecessary tool definitions. - Use programmatic tool calling through a remote Bash tool, letting LLMs write their own code to handle complex tool chaining. This reduces back-and-forth for frequent tool calls. - Handle large tool responses outside the LLM context to keep conversations lean. ## Connect Linear to OpenCode ### Connect Linear with OpenCode ### Option 1: Using Composio CLI ### 1. Install Composio CLI Install the Composio CLI, authenticate, and initialize your project: ```bash # Install the Composio CLI curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash # Authenticate with Composio composio login ``` ## What is the Linear MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Linear MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Linear account. It provides structured and secure access to your team's issues, projects, and workflows, so your agent can perform actions like creating issues, posting comments, managing attachments, organizing teams, and automating project tracking on your behalf. - Automated issue creation and management: Instantly create new Linear issues, update existing ones, or archive issues to keep your team’s backlog organized and up to date. - Commenting and collaboration: Post comments on issues, facilitate team discussions, and keep everyone in the loop without manual effort. - Attachment handling: Add or download attachments to and from issues, making it easy to share files or reference important documents right from Linear. - Team and cycle insights: Retrieve all teams, fetch cycles (sprints) by team ID, and get default issue parameters to help your agent contextualize and optimize planning activities. - Personalized workspace access: Identify the current user, fetch their profile information, and tailor actions or queries to individual team members for smarter automation. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_ATTACHMENT` | Create linear attachment | Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue. | | `LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_COMMENT` | Create a comment | Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue. | | `LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_ISSUE` | Create linear issue | Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date. | | `LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_ISSUE_DETAILS` | Get create issue default params | Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms. | | `LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_LABEL` | Create a label | Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues. | | `LINEAR_DELETE_LINEAR_ISSUE` | Delete issue | Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent. | | `LINEAR_GET_ALL_LINEAR_TEAMS` | Get all teams | Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters. | | `LINEAR_GET_ATTACHMENTS` | Download issue attachments | Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension. | | `LINEAR_GET_CURRENT_USER` | Get current user | Gets the currently authenticated user's id, name, email, and other profile information. use this to identify 'me' in other linear operations that require user id filtering. | | `LINEAR_GET_CYCLES_BY_TEAM_ID` | Get cycles by team ID | Retrieves all cycles for a specified linear team id; cycles are time-boxed work periods (like sprints) and the team id must correspond to an existing team. | | `LINEAR_GET_LINEAR_ISSUE` | Get Linear issue | Retrieves an existing linear issue's comprehensive details, including title, description, attachments, and comments. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_CYCLES` | Get all cycles | Retrieves all cycles (time-boxed iterations for work) from the linear account; no filters are applied. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_ISSUES` | List Linear issues | Lists non-archived linear issues; if project id is not specified, issues from all accessible projects are returned. can also filter by assignee id to get issues assigned to a specific user. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_LABELS` | Get labels by team | Retrieves all labels associated with a given team id in linear; the team id must refer to an existing team. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_PROJECTS` | List linear projects | Retrieves all projects from the linear account. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_STATES` | List Linear states | Retrieves all workflow states for a specified team in linear, representing the stages an issue progresses through in that team's workflow. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_TEAMS` | Get teams by project | Retrieves all teams, including their members, and filters each team's associated projects by the provided 'project id'. | | `LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_USERS` | List Linear users | Lists all users in the linear workspace with their ids, names, emails, and active status. | | `LINEAR_REMOVE_ISSUE_LABEL` | Remove label from Linear issue | Removes a specified label from an existing linear issue using their ids; successful even if the label isn't on the issue. | | `LINEAR_RUN_QUERY_OR_MUTATION` | Run Query or Mutation | Wildcard action that executes any graphql query or mutation against the linear api. use this as a fallback when no specific action exists for your use case, or when you need to perform complex operations not covered by other linear actions. supports full graphql capabilities including custom queries, mutations, and advanced filtering. | | `LINEAR_UPDATE_ISSUE` | Update issue | Updates an existing linear issue using its `issue id`; requires at least one other attribute for modification, and all provided entity ids (for state, assignee, labels, etc.) must be valid. | ## Supported Triggers | Trigger slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `LINEAR_COMMENT_EVENT_TRIGGER` | Comment Received Trigger | Triggered when a comment is received. | | `LINEAR_ISSUE_CREATED_TRIGGER` | Issue Created Trigger | Triggered when a new issue is created. | | `LINEAR_ISSUE_UPDATED_TRIGGER` | Issue Updated Trigger | Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc. | ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK Once connected, OpenCode can access the Linear MCP server via Composio to run the app actions you authorize, directly from your coding workflow. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward Now that Linear is connected, extend your setup by connecting the other apps you already use every day, so your agent can run true cross-app workflows end to end. - Connect Calendar to turn threads into scheduled meetings automatically. - Connect Slack or Teams to post summaries, approvals, and alerts where your team works. - Connect Notion, Linear, Jira, or Asana to convert requests into tickets, tasks, and docs. - Connect Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to fetch, file, and share attachments without manual steps. Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Linear MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/vscode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/linear/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Google Sheets](https://composio.dev/toolkits/googlesheets) - Google Sheets is a cloud-based spreadsheet tool for real-time collaboration and data analysis.

With a standalone Linear MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Linear tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Linear and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenCode? Yes, you can. OpenCode fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Linear tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Linear while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Linear scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Linear data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
