Connecting Glue: Linear
Connect Glue to Linear through MCP and turn conversations into action. Create, update, and track issues right from chat, keeping progress and context in sync.
Linear is one of our team’s most-used tools. Out of the box it’s a fast, clean project management app that helps us keep work moving. But what we love most is how it integrates with Glue. Instead of switching tabs, copy/pasting details, and losing focus, your team can create, query, and update issues directly in chat.
Glue + Linear turns your team chat into a command center for your work. Conversations become actions in one streamlined, focused workflow.
How it works
When someone asks Glue AI to “Turn this thread into a Linear issue for the API team,” Glue connects to Linear through MCP, creates the issue in the correct workspace, and delivers a link back to the chat.
It works the same way for updates, assignments, and searches. You can change an issue’s status, add comments, or check what’s in progress — all in the same chat window.
Setting up the Linear MCP server takes just a few clicks, and once it’s connected your whole team can use it. Add custom rules to make the integration even more seamless, like setting a default priority for new issues or inferring a team ID.

What you can do with Glue + Linear
Once Linear is connected, you can:

It’s everything you’d expect from Linear, now available where your team already works.

Democratizing your tools
We think Glue and Linear are a perfect pairing. Glue keeps conversations organized; Linear keeps projects moving. Together, they help teams capture decisions as they happen and make sure nothing gets lost between chat and task tracking.
Anyone on the team can create, update, or search issues using natural language, making project management more accessible and visible across the organization.
Check out this example workflow to see how a single message can accomplish multiple tedious (but necessary) tasks, saving time and preserving focus.
Example: Weekly Cleanup
You say:
@Glue AI Find all issues I completed last week, update them with 'Deployed to production' comments, and create a summary for my weekly update.
What Glue AI does:
Step 1: Searches Linear
- Queries for issues assigned to you
- Filters for those marked as Done last week
Step 2: Updates each issue
- Adds "Deployed to production" comment to each completed issue
- Updates any relevant fields
Step 3: Generates a summary
- Compiles the list of completed work
- Formats it as a summary
Step 4: Present results
I've updated 7 issues from last week with deployment notes. Here's your summary:
Completed Last Week:
✅ API-234: Fixed authentication timeout
✅ WEB-567: Updated button styles
✅ GLU-890: Improved search performance [... and 4 more]
Would you like me to post this summary in the team standup thread?
