What is the Linear remote MCP server?
The Linear remote MCP server is a hosted Model Context Protocol endpoint at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp, so AI assistants can connect to it without installing or running anything locally.
How do I connect to the Linear MCP server?
Add the endpoint https://mcp.linear.app/mcp to any MCP-compatible client such as Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code. The setup snippets on this page configure each client in one step.
Does the Linear MCP server require authentication?
Yes. Linear uses OAuth: the first time you connect, your MCP client opens a browser window to sign in and authorize access, then reuses the credentials for future sessions.

Linear exposes a Streamable HTTP endpoint, the transport used by remote MCP servers and supported by all major MCP clients.
