The Linear connector lets Ask Reevo work with your Linear workspace during conversations. Ask it to file a ticket from a customer call, check what engineering shipped this cycle, log a customer request against the roadmap, or summarize a project’s latest status update, and it uses your own Linear account to do it. How it works:
  • The connection is personal. Ask Reevo acts as your Linear user and can only see and change what your own Linear account can access.
  • Reading runs automatically. Any change to your Linear data (creating or updating issues, comments, projects, or customer requests) shows an approval card in the chat, and Ask Reevo proceeds only after you approve.
  • An organization admin enables the connector once for the whole organization; each person then connects their own Linear account.
Availability. MCP connectors are rolling out gradually to help us maintain the best possible experience for you. If you don’t see MCP connectors under Settings, your organization may not have access yet; contact your Reevo representative or email support@reevo.ai.

​
Connect Linear to Ask Reevo

​
Enable the connector (admins)

An organization admin must enable the connector before anyone can connect:
  1. In Reevo, open the Organization tab of Settings → Ask Reevo → MCP connectors.
  2. Turn on the toggle on the Linear card.

​
Connect your Linear account

  1. Open the User tab of Settings → Ask Reevo → MCP connectors.
  2. Click Connect on the Linear card. Your browser is redirected to Linear.
  3. Sign in to Linear and approve the authorization request.
  4. You return to Reevo, and the Linear card shows a Connected badge.

​
Use the Linear connector

Once connected, just mention Linear (or issues, projects, and tickets that live there) in any Ask Reevo conversation. Ask Reevo understands issue keys like ENG-456, and “me” always means you. Examples of what you can ask:
  • “What Linear issues are assigned to me in the current cycle?”
  • “Create a Linear ticket in the Engineering team for the SSO bug Acme reported on today’s call, priority High, assigned to me.”
  • “Add a comment to ENG-456 summarizing the customer’s feedback from the demo.”
  • “Log a customer request for Acme asking for bulk export, and link it to the Enterprise Roadmap project.”
  • “Summarize the latest status update on the Q3 Roadmap initiative.”
  • “Show me the open bugs in the Mobile project and what status each one is in.”

What Ask Reevo can do in Linear

​
Reads (run automatically)

  • Issues: find and read issues by team, project, assignee, state, label, cycle, priority, or free text, including comments and attachments.
  • Projects and roadmaps: read projects, milestones, initiatives, documents, and their status updates.
  • Customers: read customer records and the requests logged against them.
  • Workspace metadata: list teams, members, workflow statuses, labels, and cycles.

​
Changes (need your approval)

  • Issues: create and update issues (title, assignee, priority, labels, state, estimate, due date, cycle, project, milestone, parent and sub-issue, relations), and add, edit, or delete comments.
  • Projects and roadmaps: create and update projects, milestones, initiatives, and documents, and create, update, or delete status updates.
  • Customers: create, update, or delete customers, and create, update, or archive customer requests.
  • Labels and attachments: create issue labels, and upload or remove attachments on issues.
What it cannot do. The connector cannot create or manage teams, workspace members, cycles, or workflow states themselves; those definitions stay read-only (it can still assign an issue to a cycle or move it through states as an approved issue change). It is also Linear-only: it does not reach GitHub, Jira, or other trackers.

​
Permissions and data access

Linear access is granted through OAuth: you sign in on Linear’s own authorization screen and approve the connection. No API keys are created or pasted.
  • Ask Reevo operates as your Linear user, so what it can see and change matches your own Linear permissions exactly.
  • Searches include archived issues by default, so older tickets can surface in answers unless you ask to exclude them.

​
Disconnect and reconnect

To disconnect, open Settings → Ask Reevo → MCP connectors, find the Linear card, open the three-dot menu next to the Connected badge, and select Disconnect. When you disconnect, Reevo removes the connection’s stored sign-in tokens and, where Linear supports it, also revokes Reevo’s access on Linear’s side. Ask Reevo can no longer reach your Linear account until you reconnect. If a connection stops working (for example, the authorization expired or was revoked in Linear), Ask Reevo shows a reconnect card in the chat, and the Linear card on the MCP connectors page shows Reconnect instead of Connect. Click Reconnect and complete the Linear sign-in to restore the connection; your admin does not need to re-enable anything.

​
Data and privacy

  • Ask Reevo requests Linear data when it needs it to answer you; it does not run background syncs of your Linear workspace.
  • Reevo stores the connection’s sign-in tokens so you don’t have to re-authorize on every request.
  • Linear content that appears in a conversation becomes part of that chat, like any other chat content.
  • You can disconnect the connector at any time from the MCP connectors page.
The Reevo Privacy Policy and Terms of Service govern how Reevo collects, uses, and retains data, including data accessed through connectors.

​
Troubleshooting and FAQs

MCP connectors are rolling out gradually and may not be enabled for your organization yet. Contact your Reevo representative or email support@reevo.ai.
An organization admin needs to enable the Linear connector from the Organization tab first. Ask your Reevo admin to turn it on.
Your Linear authorization expired or was revoked. Click Reconnect on the card in the chat (or on the MCP connectors page) and complete the Linear sign-in again.
No. Every change (creating or updating issues, comments, projects, customers, and everything else that writes to Linear) shows an approval card first. Reads run automatically.
Issue searches include archived issues by default so historical context isn’t lost. Ask it to exclude archived issues if you only want active work.
Open Settings → Ask Reevo → MCP connectors, find the Linear card, open the three-dot menu next to the Connected badge, and select Disconnect. You can reconnect anytime.
