Provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Linear, enabling issue tracking and project management.
Linear MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Linear, enabling issue tracking and project management.
Once Linear is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
linear_create_issue — Create a new Linear issue with title, description, and other attributeslinear_update_issue — Update an existing issue's propertieslinear_search_issues — Search issues using flexible filtering criterialinear_get_user_issues — Retrieve issues assigned to a specific userlinear_add_comment — Add a comment to an existing issueYou will need one environment variable: LINEAR_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Linear's toolset — linear_create_issue, linear_update_issue, linear_search_issues and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by vinayak-mehta; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
Issue tracking at the speed of conversation — Linear's official hosted server with OAuth and zero install.
Search and read your Drive — Docs, Sheets and files become context your assistant can actually use.
Your assistant inside the workspace — read channels, search history, post messages and tame the noise.
Metabase ships its own MCP endpoint — search your BI content, build and run queries, and save questions and dashboards without leaving the chat.
Stop letting your assistant hallucinate n8n node parameters — this server hands it the real schemas, templates and validation.
