Do I need special setup to connect Claude to Linear's GraphQL API?▼

You need a Linear API key from https://linear.app/settings/api added to arsenal/.env as LINEAR_API_KEY, plus optional LINEAR_TEAM_ID. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the requests dependency, then use the included Bash scripts—no additional server required.
