Personal tokens carry every permission their user has, daily calls stop at 1,000 below Pro, and the status page shows two long platform incidents since July 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\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### monday.com\n\n1. Send an `API-Version` header such as 2026-10 on every call. Without it the API uses whichever version is current\n2. Read the board's columns first (`get_board_info` or `boards { columns }`), then write column values as a JSON string keyed by column ID\n3. Reuse one `Idempotency-Key` per mutation when retrying after a timeout or 5xx. After a 429, wait for `Retry-After` or `retry_in_seconds`\n4. Page items with `items_page` and `next_items_page`, at most 500 a page. Cursors expire after 60 minutes\n5. For a narrower grant than a personal token, connect MCP through a custom OAuth app with only scopes such as `boards:read`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Linear MCP or monday.com?\n\nmonday.com scores 76.4 (BB) on agent readiness against Linear MCP's 53.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Linear MCP and monday.com need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Linear MCP and monday.com without installing anything?\n\nYes.
