Linear AI — Automate Linear with Runner

Plan the sprint, trace the bug, and keep the team moving without the busywork.

Runner uses Linear through a native MCP server with guidance for issue management, sprint cycles, status tracking, and cross-team visibility.

What Runner does in Linear

List and filter issues by team, project, assignee, or status.
Create and update issues with linked relationships and inline images.
Track sprint cycles and manage engineering priorities alongside founder workflows.

Show me open issues assigned to the platform team in this sprint cycle.

Runner surfaces engineering work without pulling unfiltered backlogs.

Create a Linear issue for the auth bug Maya flagged, assign to platform, and link it to the security project.

Action items from meetings become tracked engineering work without context switching.

Show the current cycle progress and any blocked issues before the engineering sync.

Sprint health becomes part of the operating context before the meeting.

Mark the auth fix as Done and add a comment with the deploy confirmation.

Issue state stays current without switching to Linear.

Link the API migration issue to the three frontend tasks it blocks.

Cross-team dependencies become visible instead of living in Slack threads.
