Linear Agent MCP support
Linear Agent can now connect to your tools via MCP, giving it access to data and actions beyond your Linear workspace. Bring external context into your workflows to investigate issues, plan projects, write specs, and draft updates grounded in your full context.
Multi-level sub-teams
Structure your teams in Linear to match how your organization works. Teams can nest up to five levels deep, making it possible to represent divisions, departments, groups, squads, and more. Sub-teams inherit workflows and settings from their parents at every level, so you can maintain consistency while giving each unit flexibility in how they work.
Releases
Plan and track your software releases directly from Linear. Linear Releases integrates with your CI/CD tools to precisely track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue, giving team members and agents your full deployment context. Issue statuses automatically update when their associated code changes land in production.
Web forms for Linear Asks
Linear Asks allows you to capture internal requests and bring them into Linear so the appropriate team can work on them. Previously, we've enabled intake through Slack and email. Now we've added custom web forms as well.
Introducing Linear Agent
Try Linear Agent We're excited to share the next major step in Linear's evolution. For the vision behind Linear Agent, read the letter from our CEO, Karri. As execution accelerates, the bottleneck in product development shifts toward judgment: deciding exactly what to build and where your team's time, attention, and tokens are best spent.
Code Intelligence
Code Intelligence gives Linear Agent controlled access to your codebase, turning repositories into shared product context your whole team can use. With Code Intelligence, Linear Agent can reason about how your product actually works, not just what’s captured in issues, projects, and docs.
Project Slack channels
Project teams often use a Slack channel to discuss and share feedback about their project as it takes shape. Now, Linear can spin up that Slack channel automatically every time a new project is created. All project members are automatically added to the project Slack channel, and project updates post to that channel by default.
UI refresh
Introducing a calmer, more consistent interface. We've visually refreshed Linear's interface design to make it easier to scan information, navigate between workflows, and stay focused.
