What is the Linear MCP Server?

Linear MCP connects an assistant to issue and project workflows in Linear. It can help find a reported bug, inspect the associated work and prepare an update without repeatedly copying issue text between tools.

Use issue identifiers to keep the task clear

Start with a team and an issue identifier or project name. Ask for the current description, status and relevant comments before proposing a change. If the assistant creates or updates work, include the intended team and final text in the request so similar project names do not lead to the wrong destination.

Authenticate with Linear

The current hosted endpoint is https://mcp.linear.app/mcp. Linear documents an HTTP connection and browser-based OAuth. In Claude Code, add the server, open /mcp and complete authentication. The connected account determines which workspace information and actions are available.
