Direct answer: Linear's remote MCP server can find, create, and update issues, projects, and comments under the authenticated user's workspace permissions. Aurora's catalog points to the official endpoint, so a verified connection can help turn product execution evidence into an investor-update or diligence brief while Linear stays the operating source and every write remains reviewed.
This guide is for teams using Finta as relationship intelligence around a capital, investor, customer, or company-building workflow. Linear remains the source system for its records. Aurora can use only the context and actions exposed to the connected account.
How the Linear connection works
| Connection detail | Current Finta guidance |
|---|---|
| Classification | Catalog MCP |
| Configured endpoint | https://mcp.linear.app/mcp |
| Authentication and transport | Provider OAuth through Aurora; Streamable HTTP |
| Source of truth | Linear remains authoritative for provider records, permissions, and action results. |
| Human control | Review external communication, record changes, financial actions, publishing, deletion, and other consequential work before execution. |
What you can use it for
- Search permitted Linear issues, projects, cycles, milestones, comments, and related workspace context exposed by the provider.
- Review progress and blockers for a named product milestone or diligence commitment.
- Prepare issue, project, status, assignee, or comment updates for explicit owner approval.
- Build a source-linked investor-update summary from completed and active work without equating issue count with product impact.
These uses summarize the current provider documentation and Finta catalog purpose. The exact tool inventory varies by provider version, plan, workspace, user permissions, region, and authorization scopes.
Relationship intelligence workflows for Linear
Product milestone evidence for an investor update
Outcome: A concise status narrative grounded in the named Linear projects, milestones, and issues.
- Identify the approved projects and reporting period for the investor update.
- Retrieve completed milestones, meaningful blockers, and decisions with issue links.
- Draft a narrative that separates shipped outcomes, in-progress work, and risk.
Human decision: Product leadership confirms status, significance, and external wording.
Diligence commitment tracker
Outcome: A source-linked view of product or security questions that have become accountable work items.
- Retrieve the issues tied to the diligence request and their project, owner, status, and due date.
- Flag missing acceptance criteria, ownership, dependencies, or evidence of completion.
- Prepare a reviewed status response and any proposed Linear updates.
Human decision: The issue or project owner approves status, scope, due date, and any investor-facing commitment.
How to connect Linear to Aurora
- Choose Linear from Aurora's catalog and complete OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration.
- Select the intended Linear workspace and review the connected user's permissions.
- Prefer Linear's read-only endpoint or equivalent least-privilege setup when the workflow is reporting-only and Aurora supports it.
- Retrieve one known project and issue before preparing a status summary.
- Test a reversible comment or sandbox issue update only after owner approval.
Open the official Finta apps directory to confirm the catalog entry before authorizing a provider account.
Permissions and approval boundary
Linear offers both regular and read-only MCP access. Reporting workflows should use read-only access where practical. Aurora may summarize or prepare, but issue creation, assignment, status changes, comments, project edits, dates, and external commitments require explicit approval from the responsible owner.
Limitations to understand
- Available objects and actions depend on Linear workspace permissions and the live provider tool set.
- Issue status does not prove customer impact, shipment quality, or commercial outcome.
- Project naming and workflow semantics are organization-specific and must be interpreted with an owner.
- The public page should not imply that Aurora manages engineering work autonomously.
Verification checklist
- Confirm https://mcp.linear.app/mcp and oauth_dynamic in the live catalog.
- Complete OAuth with a controlled Linear user and record workspace scope.
- Discover the live tools and retrieve one known project and issue.
- Compare status, owner, dates, and comments with Linear.
- Verify read-only operation for reporting if supported by the Aurora connection path.
- Test one reversible write after approval and confirm it in Linear before publishing write claims.
Verification status: On 2026-08-22, Finta confirmed that this connector appears in the enabled production Aurora catalog and reviewed the configured endpoint, authentication type, and first-party sources listed below. This is not a claim that every provider tool or an authenticated end-to-end action has been tested for every account.
