Deciding factorYour organisation runs Jira and the workflow is defined by fields and transitiversus: The team is small, the cycle is weekly, and issues are created in seconds.
Bottom line
Follow the tracker your team already opens. Choosing fresh: Linear.
The short answer
Jira is where enterprise process lives; Linear is where small teams actually work. The MCP choice mostly follows the tool your team already opens: an agent that files work into the wrong tracker is worse than no integration, because nobody will see the ticket.
