Linear Integration

Linear is used for issue tracking, sprint management, and project planning. The @atlas agent monitors issues, blockers, sprint progress, and review queues via the Linear MCP server.

Setup

1. Configure MCP

Linear connects through an MCP server (linear-server) configured in .claude/settings.json. Claude Code starts it automatically when Linear tools are needed. No .env variables are required — the MCP server handles authentication through its own configuration.

2. Test the Connection

This runs the Linear review routine, which checks issues in review, blockers, stale items, and sprint progress.

Available Tools

The Linear MCP server exposes these tools:

Key Metrics

The int-linear-review skill analyzes:
  • In Review: Issues awaiting review, who needs to review, days pending
  • Blockers: Urgent and high-priority issues with responsible assignees
  • Stale issues: In Progress items with no updates in 3+ days
  • My issues: User’s assigned issues sorted by priority
  • Sprint progress: Completion percentage and deadline
