Pick Linear from the marketplace. WorkAist handles OAuth 2.0 and stores the credentials encrypted — no JSON keys to paste.
- 2Tools auto-generated
Linear exposes 6 MCP tools to every agent in your workspace: list_tasks, create_task, update_status, assign_user, and more. Each tool is a typed function, not a brittle script.
- 3Data flows to your graph
Historical project management records sync to your private knowledge graph. Agents query relationships across all connected sources, not just Linear in isolation.
- 4Your agents take action
AI Copywriter picks the right tool, runs it under your access policies, and answers in plain language — with a full audit trail of every Linear call.
Linear is project management software you can connect to WorkAist in minutes. Through the open MCP standard, your AI agents create tasks, schedule work and keep every status in sync — autonomously, under explicit permissions, with no manual hand-offs. Linear authenticates via OAuth, and because WorkAist is self-hosted under AGPL-3.0, your data never leaves your own infrastructure.

FAQ
Can a WorkAist AI agent really automate Linear end-to-end?▼
Yes. The connector exposes read and write tools through Model Context Protocol. AI agents call them through plain-language instructions in a CLAUDE.md file — no glue code.
How does this differ from using the Linear API directly?▼
The connector adds permission isolation, audit logging, cost tracking per agent, and reversible PII redaction at the LLM boundary. It also presents Linear as part of a unified Knowledge Graph alongside your other tools.
What does it cost?▼
WorkAist is open-source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hosted, so the connector itself is free. You pay only for Linear's own API costs (if any) and the LLM tokens your agent consumes.
Is my Linear data sent to a third party?▼
No. WorkAist runs in your own infrastructure. Data flows from Linear → your WorkAist instance → the LLM you choose. Sensitive fields can be tokenized before reaching the LLM.
What if Linear changes its API?▼
The connector is versioned and published openly. When Linear ships breaking changes, we bump the connector version and the marketplace UI surfaces the upgrade as a one-click apply.
