Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00241 | $0.00241 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
mcp-linear AGENTS.md 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 2d 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
MCP Linear Agent Notes
This repository is optimized for MCP tool work.
Primary Workflow
- Inspect the existing domain files before adding a new tool.
- Implement or update the service method in
src/services/linear-service.ts. - Add or update tool definitions in
src/tools/definitions/*.ts. - Add or update handlers in
src/tools/handlers/*.ts. - Add or update runtime validation in
src/tools/type-guards.ts. - Register definitions and handlers in their index files.
- Update
package.jsonandTOOLS.mdwhen the public MCP surface changes. - Add focused Jest coverage in
src/__tests__.
Repository Expectations
- Prefer
@linear/sdkmethods over raw GraphQL. - If a direct GraphQL query is necessary, keep it minimal and document the SDK mismatch in code comments or the PR summary.
- Normalize SDK entities into plain objects before returning them from
LinearService. - Be exact about nullability, enum values, and positive integer constraints.
Validation
- Always run
npm test. - Always run
npm run build. - If live Linear testing is requested, use temporary names and clean up created entities before finishing.
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.

mcp-linear AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tacticlaunch/mcp-linear (146 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 241 tokens to every session, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
