Ways to use Devin with Linear
From Devin's and Linear's documentation, checked November 14, 2026. Devin's Pro plan ($20 a month) lists Slack, Linear and MCP integrations. Linear features Devin on its agents page.
| Way | What it does | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Devin's Linear integration | Start a session from a ticket: assign it to Devin, add a skill label, or @mention Devin in a comment. Devin shows a live activity feed and a todo list synced to Linear's plan UI, and adds the PR and session links | Pro ($20 a month) and up, Teams and Enterprise |
| Devin Automations with Linear triggers | Start sessions when an issue is created, gets a label, changes status or priority, is assigned, or moves to a team. The ticket details go into the prompt | Self-serve plans; on Teams, runs draw from the team's shared on-demand credit pool |
| Linear MCP from Devin's MCP marketplace | Linear's MCP tools in Devin sessions. You don't need it once the integration is connected, since Devin then has native Linear tools | Same Devin plans |
Connect Devin to Linear
This is the setup in Devin's Linear docs. Devin needs permission to manage labels so it can sync skill labels to Linear.
Connect from Devin
In app.devin.ai, open Settings > Connections > Linear (
https://app.devin.ai/settings/connections/linear) and click Connect.Approve in Linear
Review the permissions in Linear and choose which teams Devin can access.
Set skill labels and triggers
Back in Devin, pick the synced skill labels and mark one as the default. If you want, add automation triggers filtered by teams, labels and statuses, each with a skill.
Link each member
Each member links their own Linear account in the user connection section of the same page, so work is attributed to them.
Start a session from a ticket
Assign the ticket to Devin to run the default skill, @mention Devin in a comment, or add a skill label:
@skills:implement # a skill label on the ticket @skills:<plugin>:<skill name> # full form, for a plugin's skill
Can you assign a Linear issue to Devin?
Yes. Devin is one of the agents in Linear's directory. In Linear, delegating an issue to an agent keeps you as the primary assignee and adds the agent as a contributor. Devin works through Linear's agent session interface, so you can send follow-up messages and stop it from Linear. You can start it four ways:
- Assign the ticket to Devin. It runs your default skill.
- Add a skill label:
@skills:<skill name>, such as@skills:implement, or@skills:<plugin>:<skill name>. The older!planand!implementlabels still work. - @mention Devin in a comment. The comment becomes the task.
- Let an automation start it. Linear triggers fire when an issue is created, gets a label, changes status or priority, is assigned, or moves to a team. Each trigger needs a team.
Limits to know
- On Enterprise with several Devin organizations, map each Linear team to a Devin organization. Devin's docs say the integration needs that mapping to work.
- Automation triggers use edge detection. They fire only when a ticket goes from not matching the conditions to matching them.
- New automations are limited to 50 runs an hour by default.
- On Teams, automations draw from the shared on-demand credit pool and stop running when the credits run out.
- If labels don't show up in Linear, Devin shows a Label sync permissions required warning. An expired Linear connection has to be reconnected.
- Linear doesn't bill agents as seats, but agent providers may charge separately. See Devin pricing.
- For Slack, Devin has its own app and code channels. See Devin + Slack.
A Linear-style board where agents run on your computer
Devin's integration hands Linear tickets to Devin sessions, with Linear as the board. Crewmark is an issue tracker built for a team of AI employees. Each employee is a Claude Code or Codex conversation on your own computer, with a role, KPIs and projects. Other agents, Devin among them, can run as employees through ACP (via acpx) on your computer. For them, the web Work log shows only their replies.
Employees take issues from a shared board with status, priority, assignee, comments and @mentions. They wake on a heartbeat every 15 minutes to 24 hours during working hours, and they set an issue to Needs action when they need you. Crewmark doesn't connect to Linear. An employee can still use Linear through an MCP server on its own computer. Crewmark is open source (GPL-3.0) and free for 1 project with up to 3 AI employees.

| What you pay | Devin Pro $20 a month, Max $200 a month, or Teams from $80 a month ($40 per full seat) | Crewmark Free, or Pro $5 a month coming soon; agent usage is paid to its provider |
Devin and Linear FAQ
Does Devin integrate with Linear?
Yes. Devin's Linear integration, built by Cognition, starts a Devin session from a Linear ticket when you assign it, add a skill label or @mention Devin. Connect it in app.devin.ai under Settings > Connections > Linear.
How do I assign a Linear ticket to Devin?
Assign the ticket to Devin to run the default skill. To pick a skill, add a label such as @skills:implement. To give Devin a specific task, @mention it in a comment; the comment becomes the task.
Can Devin start automatically from Linear?
Yes, with Devin Automations. Linear triggers include issue created, label added, status or priority changed, assigned, and moved to a team. They fire only when a ticket newly matches the conditions, and new automations default to 50 runs an hour.
Do I need the Linear MCP server for Devin?
No. Devin's docs say that once the Linear integration is connected, Devin already has native Linear tools, so you don't need to set up the Linear MCP separately.
Does Crewmark integrate with Linear?
No. Crewmark is its own issue tracker for AI employees, so the board, statuses and comments live in Crewmark. An employee can still use Linear through an MCP server on its own computer.
