Why use `@tacticlaunch/mcp-linear` instead of directly connecting to `https://mcp.linear.app/sse`?

I noticed that Linear provides an official MCP endpoint at https://mcp.linear.app/sse, which can be connected to directly using npx mcp-remote or tools like Cursor, without needing any additional setup.

Given this, what's the purpose or advantage of using the @tacticlaunch/mcp-linear package?

• Is it meant for self-hosting in air-gapped or custom environments?
• Are there any features it exposes that the official MCP endpoint doesn't?
• Should I prefer the official endpoint unless I have very specific needs?

I'd appreciate a clear explanation of when and why one would use this package over the default connection method.

@udiNur the official one doesnt have a way to create blocking/blocked-by relationships
