The claude.ai Linear MCP server declares type: "project" as a valid enum value in the save_status_update schema, but calling it with type: "project" returns an error — even when the Linear workspace has Project Updates enabled.

Error Message

Error: Project status updates are not enabled for this workspace. Pass type: "initiative" to manage initiative status updates instead.

Root Cause

The claude.ai Linear MCP server declares type: "project" as a valid enum value in the save_status_update schema, but calling it with type: "project" returns an error — even when the Linear workspace has Project Updates enabled.

Code Example

Error: Project status updates are not enabled for this workspace. Pass `type: "initiative"` to manage initiative status updates instead.

Summary

The claude.ai Linear MCP server declares type: "project" as a valid enum value in the save_status_update schema, but calling it with type: "project" returns an error — even when the Linear workspace has Project Updates enabled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable Project Updates in a Linear workspace (Settings → Features → Project Updates)
  2. Call save_status_update with type: "project" and a valid project name/ID/slug
  3. Observe the error

Error returned

Error: Project status updates are not enabled for this workspace. Pass `type: "initiative"` to manage initiative status updates instead.

The same error is returned by get_status_updates(type="project", ...).

Expected behavior

Both save_status_update and get_status_updates should work with type: "project" when the workspace has Project Updates enabled, consistent with what the schema declares.

Environment

  • MCP server: claude.ai Linear
  • Linear workspace: Project Updates feature confirmed enabled (weekly UI prompts for project updates are active)
  • Verified: the constraint is connector-side, not a workspace setting

Impact

type: "project" and type: "initiative" are both declared as valid enum values in the MCP schema. The schema mismatch causes unexpected failures for users who follow the schema to post project-level status updates.
