Monitor Linear with MrCron
MrCron mirrors Linear backlog, unstarted, and in-progress issue counts every 5 minutes so you can watch cycle health on the same dashboard as your deploys and errors.
How MrCron monitors Linear
- Backlog, unstarted, and in-progress issue counts per Linear team.
- Completed-this-week issue count per team.
- Auth-failure detection with an amber Rotate key CTA when the API key stops working.
- Alert rules that fire on backlog size thresholds via any notification channel.
What you will see
Backlog, unstarted, in-progress issues + completed-this-week count.
Auth flow: API Key. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never returned to your browser.

Frequently asked questions
- What Linear credentials does MrCron need?
- A Linear personal API key from the account settings API page. MrCron stores it encrypted at rest.
- Does MrCron read issue bodies?
- No. MrCron reads issue state and count metadata only. Titles and descriptions are never fetched into MrCron.
- Can I attach multiple Linear teams?
- One integration per MrCron project. Split multi-team orgs across multiple MrCron projects if you want separate counts.
- Can I alert on a swelling backlog?
- Yes. Create an alert rule on the linear_backlog metric with a threshold above your team baseline and route it to any notification channel.
