Linear Task Broker
Let your coding agent create, update, and triage Linear issues while you implement features without leaving the terminal.
Overview
Linear-Task-Broker is an MCP server for the Build phase that integrates agents with Linear software development workflows over remote SSE.
What is this MCP server?
- Remote SSE MCP broker for Linear software development workflows
- Connects agents to Linear-style task operations from Claude Code or Cursor
- Hosted at linear-broker-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp
- Optional premium settlement via EIP-3009 payment-signature header
- Version 1.0.0 MCP server schema aligned with 2025-12-11 registry format
- MCP server version 1.0.0
- 1 remote SSE endpoint (linear-broker-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp)
- Premium gate via payment-signature (EIP-3009)
What problem does it solve?
Builders lose flow when every ticket update means leaving the agent session to click through Linear manually.
Who is it for?
Solo developers who use Linear for roadmap and want MCP-driven issue updates during Claude Code or Cursor sessions.
Skip if: Teams on Jira-only stacks, or orgs that forbid agents from touching production issue trackers without IT approval.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registration, your agent can broker Linear task actions alongside code changes so issues stay current with what you actually built.
- Agent-initiated Linear issue create/update operations
- Tighter sync between code sessions and tracker state
- Less context switching during build sprints
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Linear is the default issue backbone during active product build for many indie teams; MCP access belongs on the build shelf. Project management subphase is where issue workflows, cycles, and status changes live day to day.
How it compares
Linear workflow MCP broker, not a standalone planning methodology skill or Linear’s first-party desktop app.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Linear Task Broker for?
Linear Task Broker is for indie builders and small dev teams who want their coding agent to read and act on Linear issues through MCP.
When should I use Linear Task Broker?
Use it during build.pm while implementing features, and at operate.iterate when you groom backlog items from agent-driven retrospectives.
How do I add Linear Task Broker to my agent?
Configure remote MCP SSE URL https://linear-broker-mcp.vercel.app/api/mcp in your agent’s MCP settings and authenticate per your Linear broker setup; add payment-signature if premium tools are enabled.
