Linear for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT & agents

Linear — inspect, search, create, update, and comment on issues; discover teams, users, labels, workflow states, cycles, and projects

curl -fsSL https://syncorelabs.ai/install.sh | sh

What it does

Linear — inspect, search, create, update, and comment on issues; discover teams, users, labels, workflow states, cycles, and projects. Use discovery tools before create/update when you need ids for assignees, labels, projects, cycles, or workflow states.

The Linear skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.

Sample prompts

Once Syncore is installed and Linear is connected, ask your agent something like:

• “List every open issue assigned to me in the Engineering team.”
• “Create a Linear issue: title 'Fix flaky CI on PR #1234', priority Urgent.”
• “Update issue LIN-89 status to 'In Progress' and leave a comment with the PR link.”

Tools available (13)

• linear__list_issues

  List Linear issues, optionally filtered by team, workflow state, assignee, project, cycle, or label. Use discovery tools first when you need ids. Returns compact issue summaries with team/state/assignee/labels/project/cycle metadata.

• linear__get_issue

  Get full details for one Linear issue: description, team, state, assignee, labels, project, cycle, priority, estimate, due date, timestamps, and URL.

• linear__create_issue

  Create / file / open a new Linear issue in a team. Supports title, Markdown description, priority, assignee, labels, project, cycle, workflow state, estimate, and due date. Use discovery tools first to find ids.

• linear__update_issue

  Update an existing Linear issue. Supports workflow state, title, description, priority, assignee, labels, project, cycle, estimate, and due date.

• linear__list_comments

  List comments for one Linear issue. Use when you need discussion history or prior decisions before replying or changing the issue.

• linear__create_comment

  Create a Markdown comment on one Linear issue. Prefer comments for status reports, investigation notes, and handoff summaries instead of overwriting the issue description.

• linear__list_users

  List active Linear users. Use this to discover assignee_id values before create_issue or update_issue.

• linear__list_labels

  List Linear issue labels, optionally scoped to one team. Use this to discover label_ids before create_issue or update_issue.

• linear__list_workflow_states

  List Linear workflow states, optionally scoped to one team. Use this to discover status names or state ids before updating an issue.

• linear__list_cycles

  List Linear cycles, optionally scoped to one team. Use this to discover cycle_id values before create_issue or update_issue.

• linear__list_projects

  List Linear projects (initiatives / milestones). When `team_id` is omitted, returns projects accessible to any of the user's teams. Use when the user wants to see ongoing projects or you need a project_id.

• linear__list_teams

  List the user's accessible Linear teams (id, name, key). Use this before team-scoped issue, label, state, cycle, project, or create operations when you do not already have a team_id.

• linear__search

  Search / find / look up Linear issues across the workspace by free-text query. Returns compact issue summaries and Linear's total_count.
