What is Linear MCP Server?

Linear MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with access to Linear’s project management capabilities. It enables reading and writing Linear data through resources, tools, and prompt templates.

How to use Linear MCP Server?

Install Node.js 18 or later and obtain a Linear API key. Clone the repository, run npm install, create a .env file with LINEAR_API_KEY, then build with npm run build. Start the server using npm start or node dist/index.js stdio for stdio transport, or node dist/index.js http for an HTTP/SSE server on port 3000 (configurable via SERVER_PORT). To integrate with Claude Desktop, add the MCP server configuration in Claude’s settings.
