Without the Everything AI add-on, MCP calls are capped at 100 to 25,000 per rolling 24 hours by plan. No API changelog, deprecation policy, official SDK or SLA was found.\n\n**Linear MCP.** OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration, so most MCP clients connect without a registered app. No published tool list, schemas or MCP error responses.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ClickUp\n\n1. Connect to https://mcp.clickup.com/mcp with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. API keys and REST OAuth tokens are refused on the MCP server\n2. Pass `workspace_id` on every MCP call when the user belongs to more than one Workspace, as ClickUp's own skills instruct\n3. Budget MCP calls. Each tool call counts against the rolling 24-hour cap, and `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` returns `retryAfter`\n4. On the REST API read `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset`, and page Get Tasks with `page` at 100 tasks a page\n5. Treat `team_id` in API v2 as the Workspace ID, and send dates as Unix milliseconds\n\n### Linear MCP\n\n1. Use `https://mcp.linear.app/mcp/readonly` for triage and reporting, it only exposes read tools\n2. Headless runs take `Authorization: Bearer \u003cAPI key\u003e`, and a key created with Read permission can't write\n3. Treat an HTTP 400 with RATELIMITED as a rate limit and wait for the X-RateLimit-Requests-Reset time\n4. Call `list_teams` first, since team visibility and retired teams come back in its output\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ClickUp or Linear MCP?\n\nClickUp scores 60.9 (C) on agent readiness against Linear MCP's 53.8 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Linear MCP leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do ClickUp and Linear MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call ClickUp and Linear MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. ClickUp has a hosted endpoint at https://api.clickup.com and Linear MCP at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/clickup-vs-linear-mcp.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/clickup-vs-linear-mcp.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"clickup\", \"b\": \"linear-mcp\"}`.
