Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Linear data secure?
Yes. We encrypt your API key using AES-256 encryption before storing it. Your Linear data stays in Linear - we only proxy API requests when your AI assistant needs them.
How do I get my Linear API key?
Go to https://linear.app/settings/api, create a new Personal API Key, and copy it. Paste it in MCP Hubby's connection form to connect.
Can I disconnect anytime?
Yes. One click in your hub disconnects Linear and deletes your encrypted API key from our database. You can also revoke the API key directly in your Linear settings.
What AI tools does this work with?
Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, and more. One connection works with all.
What can my AI assistant do with Linear?
Your AI can search and filter issues, create and update issues, add comments, manage projects, list teams, and perform any Linear operation using GraphQL queries.
