Overview

Linear MCP Server is an implementation of the Linear Model Context Protocol (MCP) that provides an interface for accessing Linear resources, enabling developers to interact with Linear's issue tracking and project management features.

To use the Linear MCP Server, clone the repository, install dependencies, create a startup script with your Linear API key, configure it in Cursor, and start the server.

  • Create new Linear issues with specified parameters. - Search for Linear issues using various filters. - Read Linear resources using URIs. - Implements rate limiting and detailed error handling.
  1. Automating issue creation in Linear for project management.
  2. Integrating Linear issue tracking into custom applications.
  3. Searching and retrieving issue data programmatically.

Use these steps to connect Linear MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-iwark-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}
