Linear
Your assistant reads your issues, projects, teams and cycles, and comments. Creating or changing an issue waits for your OK.
Connect Linear
- In the setup: pick Linear under What do you want to connect?, then click Connect on it in the next step.
- Later: on your assistant's page, under Connectors, click Add and pick Linear. Then click Connect on its card.
Sign in with your Linear account on its own sign-in page. Every call runs as you, and Willow keeps the sign-in: your assistant never sees it.
Scout uses Linear's own MCP server. Linear lists its tools once you sign in, so they show up after you connect.

Try asking

Good to know
- Save issue both creates and updates issues, so it always waits for your OK.
