# Linear

## Quick start

Always invoke through `bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh` — never call `mcporter` directly. The wrapper seeds the OAuth vault from the env-supplied tokens when needed, then calls `mcporter`.

```sh
bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh call maverick-linear.list_issues team=ENG limit:5
bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh call maverick-linear.create_issue title="Bug: pagination breaks" teamId=ENG
bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh call maverick-linear.create_comment issueId=ABC-123 body="Fixed in PR #456"
```

For structured output (also surfaces transport errors as JSON envelopes — workaround for mcporter [#153](https://github.com/steipete/mcporter/issues/153)):

```sh
bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh call --output json maverick-linear.list_issues team=ENG | jq '.result.content'
```

Discover available tools and schemas:

```sh
bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh list maverick-linear --schema
```

## Safety

Write operations (`create_issue`, `update_issue`, `create_comment`, label/cycle/project changes, etc.) modify Linear work items visible to your team. Confirm clear user intent before invoking write tools — read tools (`list_*`, `get_*`) are safe to call freely while exploring. Review Linear activity after first use to verify behavior matches expectations.

## Authentication

Tokens are provisioned and rotated automatically. If a call returns HTTP 401 that doesn't recover within a few seconds, the OAuth grant has been revoked — re-authorize the integration to refresh credentials.

## Data flow

Tool calls travel to Linear's hosted MCP service at `https://mcp.linear.app/mcp` over HTTPS, authenticated via OAuth. Linear sees the issue/project/comment data referenced by each call. Use this skill for Linear-related work only; do not pass unrelated sensitive content through these tools.

## Dependencies

- **`mcporter`** ([github.com/steipete/mcporter](https://github.com/steipete/mcporter)) — MCP CLI used to invoke Linear's hosted MCP server. Auto-installed via `npm install -g --ignore-scripts mcporter` if missing on PATH (see `install` spec in frontmatter). The install spec uses unpinned `mcporter` (npm `latest`); operators with strict supply-chain controls should override the install to pin a specific version (e.g. `mcporter@<version>`).
- **`jq`** ([stedolan.github.io/jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)) — JSON processor used by the vault initializer. System dependency; install via your OS package manager (`apt install jq`, `brew install jq`, etc.).
- **`flock`** (part of [util-linux](https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux)) — file locking used to serialize concurrent vault writes. Available by default on Linux; on macOS install via `brew install flock`.
