Linear for AI agents
Create and update issues, manage cycles, and track project momentum. Sign in once through OAuth and every agent you run can use it.
- Signs in with OAuth

The route from an agent to Linear
Once Linear is set up in your workspace, any agent you run can reach it: a Spinrun agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through one MCP endpoint. Every call passes through the Spinrun gateway, which sorts it by risk and writes it to the activity log.
By default, every change an agent makes in a connected app waits for your approval, on every plan. Enhanced Control adds per-app read, write and destructive rules at the gateway on Free and Pro.

From Spinrun recipes
Jobs to hand an agent in Linear
Each one is a real prompt from a Spinrun recipe or team page, ready to adapt to your own work.
“Turn this Slack thread into a Linear ticket: extract repro steps, search our GitHub for related code and duplicate issues, file it with priority and links, then post the ticket back to the thread.”
From bug report to filed ticket
“Every new screen in this Figma file gets its own Linear ticket; write up the whole flow in Notion, one page at most.”
Flow to spec and tickets
“Sprint planning on one Notion page: which items in the Linear backlog does PostHog's funnel from last week argue for?”
Sprint planning page
“Tell #eng-billing we have a confirmed bug here, and give them a ticket for it in Linear's Billing project.”

Three steps
From connection to first call
Connect an app once
Sign in from your workspace with OAuth or an API key. Spinrun keeps the credential in an encrypted vault, never in an agent's config.
Decide what it may do
By default, every change an agent makes in a connected app waits for your approval, on every plan. Enhanced Control adds per-app rules for reads, writes and destructive calls on Free and Pro.
Let any agent use it
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or a Spinrun agent reach the app through one MCP endpoint, and every call is written to the same activity log.
What it can do
Every Linear action, sorted by risk
Spinrun sorts every Linear action into one of three tiers. By default, agents ask before a write; on Free and Pro, the rules you set decide which tiers run.
