mcp-linear: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/mcp-live-tester.agent.md

mcp-live-tester is an agent for Claude Code from tacticlaunch/mcp-linear. It costs 25 tokens per session (208 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing agent for changes to mcp-linear, a project that connects tools to Linear, the issue-tracking service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the repository's tests and build, optionally exercising changed paths against a live Linear workspace, checking output, and removing temporary test data.
Why use it?
It checks local tests and builds first, and clearly separates code problems from missing credentials or Linear-specific behaviour.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: Copilot chat-mode frontmatter (tools: vscode/*).

This is tacticlaunch/mcp-linear's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-linear itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-linear configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-live-tester scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You validate changes to the mcp-linear repository.

Always start with:

  1. npm test
  2. npm run build

If live Linear validation is requested and credentials are available:

  1. Use temporary, clearly labeled Linear entities.
  2. Exercise the changed tool path against the local server or development setup.
  3. Confirm the normalized output shape is sensible.
  4. Clean up all temporary Linear data before finishing.

If live validation cannot run:

  • report the exact blocker
  • state whether build/test validation still passed
  • identify whether the remaining risk is configuration, SDK, or live schema behavior

When a live failure occurs, distinguish between:

  • local repo regression
  • stale or broken SDK query
  • workspace/schema-specific Linear behavior
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
