Linear
Add Linear to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Linear integration so your customers can raise and track work from inside your product instead of retyping it into their tracker. Every team configures its own workflow states and labels, so mapping is configuration per customer rather than code. fastn handles per-customer OAuth, token refresh, rate limits and API upkeep, so a team with an unusual Linear setup works without a release from you.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers connect their own Linear workspace so an issue is created from your product without leaving it.
Read issues, projects and cycles so your product shows what a team is working on.
Update status, assignee or labels so Linear reflects what happened in your product.
Trigger your workflow when an issue is created or changes state, rather than polling for it.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent files an issue with the right team, labels and priority within governed permissions.
An agent reads open issues in a cycle before summarising progress.
An agent comments on or transitions an issue, with every action attributed and audited.
Example prompt
List issues in the current cycle with no assignee and file a follow-up for anything blocked over a week.
Set up Linear in 4 steps
- 01Open the Linear connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Linear workspace with OAuth.
- 03Map the teams, projects, states and labels your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Linear integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Linear integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Linear account inside your product and work their work items, assignees and due dates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: every team configures its own fields, statuses and workflow stages. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Linear update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Linear connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep work items in step with what happens in your product without wiring it twice.

AWS Simple Storage ServiceLinear integration FAQ
How do I add a Linear integration to my product?
Enable the Linear connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Linear account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Linear client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Linear account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Linear account and only ever sees their own work items, assignees and due dates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Linear integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent files an issue with the right team, labels and priority within governed permissions.
Who maintains the Linear integration?
fastn does. When Linear changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product create and update work in Linear automatically?
Yes. Items can be created, updated, assigned and transitioned from your product, and changes made in Linear can trigger your workflows in return.
Does it adapt to each team's own Linear setup?
Yes. However a team has configured Linear, whether that is custom fields, statuses and workflow stages or its own calendars and working hours, those are mapped per customer, so an unusual setup works without custom code from you.
What can I build with the Linear integration?
A common starting point: connect their own Linear workspace so an issue is created from your product without leaving it. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Linear integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Linear does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
