Linear’s official remote MCP server, hosted by Linear.

Why it matters

Hopping to an issue tracker to file issues and change statuses while you code is friction. Connect the Linear MCP and you can find, create, and update issues, projects, and comments from Claude Code as a conversation.

What you can do

Representative tasks from Linear’s official docs:

  • Create issues — “Create a Linear issue titled ‘Fix login redirect bug’ in the Web team and assign it to me.”
  • Search and summarize issues — “Search Linear for open issues mentioning ‘payment timeout’ and summarize them.”
  • Update status and comment — “Update ENG-482 to ‘In Progress’ and add a comment with my findings.”
  • Create projects — “Create a new project ‘Q3 Onboarding Revamp’ and add an overview description.”
  • Triage your work — “Find all issues assigned to me due this week and draft a status update.”

Grounded in Linear’s docs (linear.app/docs/mcp, linear.app/integrations/claude).

Key features

  • Issues — find, create, update
  • Projects — find, create, update
  • Comments — read, create

Setup

claude mcp add --transport http linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

After adding, run /mcp to complete the OAuth flow.

Notes

  • Remote-hosted — no local MCP server to run
  • OAuth via /mcp; passing a token directly via an Authorization: Bearer header is also supported
  • Also listed in the Claude connectors directory
  • Linear’s docs note remote MCP connections “are still early” and may fail or need multiple attempts — restart the client or toggle the server to recover.
