OAuth scopes stop at product level, access tokens are permanent, and no SLA, API changelog or prompt-injection guidance was found in the reviewed documentation.\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### Teamwork.com\n\n1. Use a profile endpoint such as https://mcp.ai.teamwork.com/project-manager. The base URL loads every tool across Projects, Desk, Spaces and Chat.\n2. Ask a site administrator to enable MCP under Settings, AI before connecting.\n3. Build REST URLs from `installation.apiEndPoint` in the token response. Sites live at {site}.teamwork.com (US) or {site}.eu.teamwork.com (EU).\n4. Stay under 150 requests a minute on Free, Basics and Accelerate. The limit is shared by the whole site. On 429, wait until `X-Rate-Limit-Reset`.\n5. Pass `verbose=false` to `list_*` tools to get ids and names only, and use `twprojects-create_tasks` for many tasks in one call.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Linear MCP or Teamwork.com?\n\nTeamwork.com scores 65.9 (B) on agent readiness against Linear MCP's 53.8 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Linear MCP leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Linear MCP and Teamwork.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 Teamwork.com without installing anything?\n\nYes. Linear MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp and Teamwork.com at https://mcp.ai.teamwork.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/linear-mcp-vs-teamwork.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/linear-mcp-vs-teamwork.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"linear-mcp\", \"b\": \"teamwork\"}`.
