Questions

• What does connectLinear do?

  Connect the signed-in member's own Linear account with a personal API key (Linear Settings → API → Personal API keys). It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.

• How do I use connectLinear from Claude or ChatGPT?

  Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "connect Linear", and it calls connectLinear.

• Is connectLinear safe to let an AI call?

  connectLinear widens who can see or receive something, so the owner approves every call explicitly. An AI cannot approve it for itself. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
