Watch out for

• It can delete and archive Linear data

  About 30 of the 195 tools archive or delete issues, projects, documents, customers and webhooks, or sign sessions out. Use a key from an account with limited access, and keep approval prompts on in your assistant. github.com

• No read-only mode

  The README documents no read-only switch, and the source annotates the delete tools as destructive rather than hiding them. Every call runs with the full rights of your key. github.com

• It can reveal secrets and issue tokens

  Creating or rotating OAuth apps and webhook secrets returns secret values to the assistant. Those tools ask for an explicit confirmation flag. Store returned secrets in a secret manager. github.com

• Your key sits in the app config

  The API key goes into the MCP config file or an environment variable on your machine. Treat that file like a password. github.com
