  • Create, update, and search for Linear issues. - Add comments to issues and manage user-specific issues. - Flexible filtering options for issue searches.
  1. Automating issue creation and updates in Linear.
  2. Searching for issues based on various criteria like priority and status.
  3. Managing team workloads by analyzing assigned issues.

Cursor

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

.cursor/mcp.json

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

      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jerhadf-linear-mcp-server-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",

      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Windsurf
