Linear is where engineering teams track work. Issues, cycles, projects, roadmaps, triage queues. An AI agent with Linear access can file bugs from code reviews, update issue status after deploys, pull cycle reports, create issues from Slack conversations, and keep your backlog groomed without manual effort.
Linear has a GraphQL API but no official MCP server. Building a custom integration means learning their schema, managing OAuth, and deploying infrastructure. DataFaucet captures the API from a browsing session and hosts it for you.

Linear uses GraphQL at https://api.linear.app/graphql. DataFaucet captures the queries and mutations the web app makes:
| Action | GraphQL Operation |
|---|---|
| List issues | IssueConnection query with filters |
| Get issue | Issue query by identifier |
| Create issue | issueCreate mutation |
| Update issue | issueUpdate mutation |
| Search | searchIssues query |
| Cycle issues | Cycle.issues connection |
| Add comment | commentCreate mutation |
Linear web sessions use a cookie-based auth token. DataFaucet captures this during scanning. Sessions last weeks unless you explicitly log out.
For longer-lived access, you can also create a Personal API Key in Linear Settings > API and use it via the cURL input method in DataFaucet.
Both are project management tools, but they target different audiences:
