Overview

What is Linear MCP Server?

Linear MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides an interface for accessing and managing Linear resources, such as issues and teams. It is designed for developers who want to interact with Linear from within MCP‑compatible tools like Cursor.

How to use Linear MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, create a startup script exporting your LINEAR_API_KEY, and configure the server as a Command‑type MCP server in Cursor pointing to that script. Alternatively, run npm start directly. Obtain a Linear API key from the Linear settings page.
