Step 0 — Linear MCP auth

Run before any Linear read or write in setup, sync, monitor, or discipline.

Probe

Call a cheap Linear tool (list_teams or get_user).

  • Success → continue.
  • Unauthorized / missing server / needsAuth → stop. Give the steps below for the current agent. Never invent GraphQL, curl, or unofficial API wrappers.

Cursor

  1. Open Settings → MCP (or Features → MCP).
  2. Enable / add the Linear MCP server (official Linear plugin).
  3. Complete the OAuth / connect prompt in the browser.
  4. Start a new agent chat.
  5. Retry: ask the agent to list Linear teams.

Claude Code

  1. Run /mcp (or open Claude connector settings).
  2. Connect Linear and authorize the workspace.
  3. Confirm Linear tools show as available.
  4. New session if tools were just added.
  5. Retry: list teams.

Codex / other Agent Skills harnesses

  1. Open that agent’s MCP / integrations settings.
  2. Add Linear MCP and complete OAuth.
  3. Restart the agent so tools reload.
  4. Retry: list teams.
  5. If the harness has no MCP: say so in one line — this skill pack requires Linear MCP.

After auth

Restate: “Linear connected. Next: …” and continue the interrupted skill.
