Overview

Linear MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Linear, developed in Go, that facilitates interaction with the Linear API through the MCP protocol.

To use the Linear MCP Server, install it by downloading the appropriate binary for your platform, set your Linear API key as an environment variable, and run the server using the provided commands.

  • Create, update, and search Linear issues - Retrieve issues assigned to a user - Add comments to issues - Rate-limited API requests to comply with Linear's API limits
  1. Automating issue management in Linear projects.
  2. Integrating Linear with AI assistants for enhanced productivity.
  3. Streamlining team collaboration by managing issues 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": {
    "linear-mcp-go-geropl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-linear-mcp-go-geropl"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "linear-mcp-go-geropl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-linear-mcp-go-geropl"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

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

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

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

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

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

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear-mcp-go-geropl": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
