Ask your agent.
It queries MotherDuck for you.
Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or your own agent to Weld over MCP. It reads the Linear context, finds the tables it needs and runs the query in MotherDuck.
How many issues rows do we have in MotherDuck?
Reading the Linear context first, so the query uses the right tables and keys.

ELT vs. reverse ETL: Linear and MotherDuck
ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) moves data from Linear into MotherDuck for analysis. This is the approach shown on this page, and the one to use for dashboards, reports, and data models.
Reverse ETL works the other direction: it pushes enriched data from MotherDuck back into Linear. For example, you could sync computed lead scores or customer segments from your warehouse into Linear to personalize outreach.
Weld supports both directions, so you can build a complete data loop between Linear and MotherDuck.
MotherDuck to Linear- Incremental syncing
- Weld uses incremental syncing where supported by the Linear API, loading only new and updated records to minimize data transfer and warehouse costs.
- Schema handling
- Weld automatically manages schema changes. If Linear adds new fields, they're detected and added to the corresponding MotherDuck tables.
- Data freshness
- Sync frequency depends on your Weld plan. Most connectors support schedules from every 5 minutes up to daily intervals.
- Security
- All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Weld is SOC 2 Type II compliant and supports IP whitelisting for database connections.
