Linear MCP server

​

When should you use it?

• Search and retrieve issues, projects, cycles, and documents from Linear.
• Create and update issues, projects, or comments via natural language commands.
• Integrate Linear data directly into AI-powered workflows (e.g., task planning, meeting follow-ups).
• Provide secure, real-time access to Linear data without custom integrations.

​

Endpoints

• Transport options:
  • HTTP: https://mcp.linear.app/mcp
  • SSE: https://mcp.linear.app/sse
• Authentication: OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration.
• Recommendation: Use the streamable HTTP endpoint where supported for improved reliability.
• Compatibility: Works natively with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. For older clients, the mcp-remote module ensures backwards compatibility.
