How do I connect the Linear API with Modiva?
Create a Modiva account, generate an MCP key, and connect Linear from your dashboard. Modiva runs the full OAuth flow and stores the encrypted token for you — no client secrets in your code.
What can I do with the Linear API through Modiva?
Read & write issues, projects, teams and comments in Linear, and receive webhooks on changes. You get 7 typed tools grouped by resource (accounts_, issues_, teams_, projects_, comments_), callable over REST or the MCP server.
Do I need to handle OAuth or token refresh myself?
No. Modiva handles the Linear OAuth handshake, token storage (envelope-encrypted) and automatic refresh. You call a single unified endpoint.
Can an AI agent use the Linear API?
Yes — that is the point. Modiva exposes Linear as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, so agents like Claude, Cursor or your own app can read and act on Linear through one endpoint.
