Enables Claude to interact with the Linear API for managing teams, issues, projects, and cycles.
Connect Linear to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Enables Claude to interact with the Linear API for managing teams, issues, projects, and cycles. The linear mcp server is what makes that connection.
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Linear, allowing Claude to interact with Linear's API to manage teams, issues, projects, and cycles.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Configuration is passed through the environment: LINEAR_CLIENT_ID, LINEAR_CLIENT_SECRET, LINEAR_REDIRECT_URI, LINEAR_REFRESH_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the team communication options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by cpropster; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
