AI agents for Linear

Fast issue tracking that deserves fast automation. AGNT connects to Linear so agents can read what happens there, reason about it, and act — with a receipt for every run.

Meeting Follow-Through is a ready-made agent that works in Linear — free, and it runs on your machine.

Linear and AGNT, in brief

What it does	Lets an AGNT agent read from and act in Linear.
Connects with	API key — held in the local vault
AGNT node	custom-api, or the zapier-action bridge
Runs when	An issue is created
Typical build time	Ten minutes
Where data goes	Nowhere by default — AGNT runs on your machine and credentials never leave it.

What you can automate

Reacts when…

an issue is created
a status changes
a cycle ends

Agents can…

create issues with full context
update status and assignees
write cycle summaries

Teams use it for

support escalations become tracked issues
cycle reviews drafted automatically
roadmap items from customer signals

Build it: the Linear workflow

Design goal for Linear: support escalations become tracked issues; cycle reviews drafted automatically; roadmap items from customer signals. The template below supplies configurable nodes, not the complete logic for those goals.

Use this Linear setup template to arrange the schedule, input review and API operation. Configure the account-specific fields and add your own decision and approval controls before activation.

Configuration example for Linear. API and model calls may send data to your selected providers.

Linear — read, decide, actSetup template · configure before activation

This is a schema-checked starting point, not an end-to-end tested automation. Replace every CONFIGURE_ value, choose the operations you intend, connect credentials and map source outputs into later inputs. An edge orders steps; it does not supply a condition, an approval gate or a field mapping. Add and test those controls explicitly before any write. Cloud APIs and model providers may receive data. Keep the workflow inactive until tested with fixtures.

Configure Custom API Request

This action node makes a custom API request to any endpoint with configurable method, headers, and authentication.

url — The URL of the API endpoint Current example: https://api.linear.app/graphql.
method — The HTTP method for the request Current example: GET.
authType — The type of authentication Current example: None.
query — Query parameters for the request (e.g., 'key1=value1&key2=value2') Current example: .
headers — Optional headers for the request. e.g., {"Content-Type": "application/json"} Current example: {}.

Fast tracking deserves fast intake

Linear’s appeal is speed, and the natural extension is that issues should arrive already well-formed. Support escalations, error spikes and customer signals can all become properly written issues with context attached, without anyone retyping them.

Cycle reviews from real data

What shipped, what slipped and what was added mid-cycle are all answerable from the tracker itself. An agent can draft the cycle review from that record, leaving the team to discuss the conclusions rather than assemble them.

Linear without a first-party node

Linear has no dedicated node in AGNT so far. That is not a blocker — it authenticates with api key, which the custom-api node handles directly, and the exact call is below.

What you need	Value
Endpoint	`https://api.linear.app/graphql`
Method	`POST`
Authentication	API key
Header	`Authorization: {apiKey}`
Reference	Linear API documentation

Worth knowing: GraphQL only — one endpoint for everything, and the API key goes in Authorization with no Bearer prefix.

One thing to know before you build

GraphQL only — one endpoint for everything, and the API key goes in Authorization with no Bearer prefix.

It is worth getting right first, because the failure is quiet rather than loud — you get a response, it just is not the one you wanted. Once past it, Linear is a straightforward API to automate against.

Connect Linear in two minutes

Download AGNT Community Core — free, local-first, no account needed to run.
Connect by pasting an API key into AGNT’s vault — stored encrypted on your machine, never uploaded.
Drop the Linear node into a workflow or hand it to an agent — the first run produces a receipt you can read line by line.
