We named it Linear to signify progress. What started as a simple issue tracker, has since evolved into a powerful project and issue tracking system that streamlines workflows across the entire product development process.
This guide is intended to give you an overview of Linear's features, discover their flexibility, and provide tips for how to use Linear to improve the speed, value, and joy of your work.
How we think and work Linear's mission is to inspire and accelerate builders. To turn that ambition into reality, we operate based on a set of core principles that keep us focused.
Your AI models and agents can use our official MCP server to access your Linear data in a simple and secure way. Connect to our MCP server natively as a new Claude Integration, or by using the mcp-remote module in Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients.
Linear takes a different approach. By focusing exclusively on the craft of building great products, it’s designed with intent about how work should flow, offering a thoughtfully curated set of features rather than endless options.
