Team initiatives and enterprise MCP authorization

Initiatives can now be assigned to teams to clarify responsibility and visibility, with private team initiatives visible only to team members for secure planning. Additionally, Linear's MCP now supports enterprise-managed authorization through Okta-connected identity verification for centralized access control.

Initiatives are Linear's way to manage product strategy and high-level planning across projects. Strategy may start at the company level, but teams carry it forward. You can now assign a team to lead an initiative, making it clear who is responsible for driving the work and how it contributes to the broader direction. For work that requires tighter access, initiatives led by private teams are only visible to team members. This creates a secure place for confidential planning, regulated projects, audits, and other restricted work. Learn more about initiatives in the docs. Enterprise-managed authorization for MCP Linear's MCP now supports managing employee access through your existing Okta-managed identity When employees connect from a supported Anthropic agent, Linear verifies their identity through Okta and applies their existing Linear permissions. Admins can manage access centrally, without requiring employees to sign in or authorize Linear individually. Available to Enterprise workspaces with Okta SAML configured. Learn more in the docs.
