Connecting Linear to NOFire AI gives your investigations access to issues, projects, and team context directly from your Linear workspace. During incidents, NOFire can search past tickets for patterns, triage new issues, and add investigation findings as comments — without leaving Slack or the Chat dashboard. Authentication uses a Linear API key. OAuth 2.0 support is coming soon.
This integration connects via Linear’s MCP server. NOFire communicates with Linear’s hosted endpoint — no additional infrastructure needed.

What this enables

  • Incident context: search past issues and incidents for relevant patterns during investigations
  • Ticket triage: assess and prioritize incoming issues based on production signals
  • Add comments: post investigation findings, root cause summaries, or status updates to tickets
