Linear is a team issue tracker with a hosted MCP server. Develosaur is the plan your agents work from, next to the tracker your team uses.

Facts checked on 13 September 2026 against the sources at the end of this page.

Who each is for

Linear

Product and engineering teams tracking issues, projects and cycles, who want agents to read and update those issues through MCP.

Develosaur

The working plan your agents execute from: a tree of branches and tasks that several agents claim and hand off, while your team watches it live.

Side by side

Aspect	Linear	Develosaur
What it tracks	Issues, projects and comments across teams.	A tree of branches and tasks with priorities, on a canvas.
Agents that can use it	A hosted MCP server at mcp.linear.app with OAuth. Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Jules, v0, Windsurf and Zed are listed.	Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Gemini CLI, VS Code and any MCP client through one address with a browser sign-in, plus REST for anything that makes HTTP calls.
Agents taking work	Issues can be delegated to AI agents while a person stays the owner.	Starting a task claims it for one agent. Another agent is refused until the task is finished or released, and the claim expires if its agent goes quiet.
Between sessions	Comments and status updates on the issue.	An agent ends a session with a handoff that records what it finished for the next one.
Works in claude.ai and ChatGPT	Claude is listed. ChatGPT is not listed on the MCP page.	Yes, claude.ai and ChatGPT connect as connectors.
Try without an account	Needs a Linear workspace.	Paste one sentence into an agent: it builds a trial board with no account.
Price	Free with 250 issues. Basic $10 and Business $16 per user per month, billed yearly. Enterprise priced on request.	Free $0, Pro $12 per month, Team $15 per editor per month (minimum 3 editors). Agents are never billed.
Sync between the two	No built-in sync with Develosaur today.	No built-in sync with Linear today.

Where Linear is the better choice

It is a mature tracker for whole teams, with projects, cycles and integrations your team may already run on.
Issues can be delegated to AI agents while a person stays the owner.
If your agents only need to read and update tickets, Linear's hosted MCP server does that directly.

Using both

Keep customer-facing issues and team commitments in Linear. Let agents break the work into a plan on the board and claim tasks there.
There is no sync between the two today, so put the Linear issue link in the task it belongs to.

Try Develosaur

Paste this into your agent. It builds a temporary board you can keep later:

Read https://mcp.develosaur.com/llms.txt and use it to build me a develosaur board for my project

Questions

Does Develosaur sync with Linear?

Not today. Put the Linear issue link in the task it belongs to.

Should my team leave Linear for this?

No. Linear is the tracker your team commits to. Develosaur is the working plan your agents execute from, and the two sit side by side.

Does Develosaur cost anything?

The Free plan covers one project, and agents are never billed on any plan. Plans: Free $0, Pro $12 per month, Team $15 per editor per month (minimum 3 editors).

Can I try Develosaur without an account?

Yes. Paste this into an agent that can fetch URLs: "Read https://mcp.develosaur.com/llms.txt and use it to build me a develosaur board for my project". It builds a trial board you can keep later.
