Connect Linear to Relato with the Linear MCP

Wire Relato into Linear so your AI Content Agents open and close content tasks alongside your engineering work.

Written by David Baum

Connect Linear to Relato and track content the same way your team tracks engineering.

What you can do

With Linear connected, an agent can:

  • Open a Linear issue when a content project needs work.

  • Close the issue when the project ships.

  • Keep content tasks in the same board your engineers already read.

Connect Linear

In Relato open Settings > Integrations > MCP > Add account, paste the Linear MCP URL, approve the OAuth prompt, and name the account. The name you give it prefixes Linear's tools in the agent tool picker. Then attach the Linear tools plus the Relato query and project tools to an agent and set a trigger, which can be a project stage change, a schedule, or a manual run. For the full walkthrough see Connect any MCP to Relato.

A good first agent

Try a task opener. Create an agent, attach the Linear tools and the Relato query and project tools, and set the trigger to a project stage change into your in-progress stage. Instruct it to read the project title and summary, then create a Linear issue in the right team with a link back to the Relato project. Add a second agent, or a second trigger, that closes the issue when the project reaches your published stage. Run each once by hand before you leave the triggers on.

A note on OAuth

Relato's MCP integration is OAuth-based. You can connect Linear if it runs an OAuth-capable MCP server that Relato can reach. If a public OAuth MCP for Linear does not exist yet, tell us at [email protected] and we will help you find a path.

FAQ

Which Linear team gets the issue? You set the team in the agent instructions, so content issues land where you want them.

Can it avoid duplicate issues? Yes. Tell the agent to check for an existing issue by the project link before it opens a new one.
