How Whenever connects

Through its API, with your credentials managed by Whenever.

Through its MCP server, so an AI step can use its tools.

Build it from your AI client

Whenever connects to Linear through Linear's own MCP server, so an AI step in a workflow can use its tools, and the workflow runs on a schedule or a webhook without an assistant open. Build it by describing it, or from Claude, Cursor or Codex through the Whenever MCP server.
