Linear MCP server
Give AI agents governed access to the Linear MCP server through one audited gateway. Scoped permissions, full observability, and tamper-evident logs on every tool call.
What is the Linear MCP server?
The Linear MCP server is an open Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI agents to Linear issues, projects, and cycles. Through it an agent can search and triage issues, create and update work items, and read project status without bespoke integration code, while the Averta MCP Gateway keeps every action scoped and audited.

Why the Averta MCP Gateway
Centralized governance
Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for every Linear MCP connection.
Observability and control
Real-time visibility into usage, anomalies, and SLA compliance across every request.
One-click deployment
Enable the Linear MCP server for your AI teams through one governed gateway, with no manual setup.
Enterprise hardening
High availability, security, and compliance alignment turn MCP from a developer utility into production-grade infrastructure.
OAuth and SSO enforcement
Enterprise authentication and SSO applied automatically to every Linear endpoint.
Shared and per-user auth
Configure service accounts or per-user access, with secrets protected and centralized revocation.
One managed endpoint
Connect agents to Linear through a single governed endpoint instead of locally run servers, improving your security posture.
Granular tool access control
Allow only the tools each role needs. Enable read-only access and block write tools like create and delete.

Linear MCP server, answered
Security and setup questions teams ask before connecting the Linear MCP server to AI agents.
Yes. The Averta MCP Gateway sits between your AI agents and any MCP server, giving each agent scoped, per-agent permissions, applying allow, escalate, or block policies on every tool call, and recording a tamper-evident audit of every action. The “Why the Averta MCP Gateway” section on this page covers what it enforces.
It is as safe as the controls around it. The server can read and write issues, projects, and comments through one token, so the risk lives in scoping, approvals, and auditing. The Averta MCP Gateway limits what each agent can reach and records every action.
By default it can reach the issues, projects, and teams the token can see, with both read and write tools. Scoping to specific teams or read-only triage is a governance decision.
Yes. Tool-level policy lets read and create operations run automatically while destructive actions escalate for approval, all recorded.
Route agents through Averta's MCP Gateway for scoped per-agent permissions, tool-level policy, and tamper-evident audit across every Linear action.
Yes. Linear publishes an official MCP server. Whichever server you run, routing it through the Averta MCP Gateway is what gives each agent scoped access and a tamper-evident audit trail.
Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, can connect to the Linear MCP server. Pointing those clients at the Averta MCP Gateway instead of the raw server adds scoped permissions, approval policies, and a tamper-evident log without changing the client setup.
