Integrations

  • Enables interaction with Linear's GraphQL API, allowing querying and mutation operations for project management data.

  • Provides tools for interacting with Linear's GraphQL API, enabling AI assistants to retrieve issues, projects, and teams data, create and update issues, change issue status, assign issues to team members, add comments, and create projects and teams.

MCP Linear

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for the Linear GraphQL API that enables AI assistants to interact with Linear project management systems.

Features

MCP Linear bridges the gap between AI assistant and Linear (project management tool) by implementing the MCP protocol. This allows to:

  • Retrieve issues, projects, teams, and other data from Linear
  • Create and update issues
  • Change issue status
  • Assign issues to team members
  • Add comments
  • Create projects and teams

Example prompts

Once connected, you can use prompts like:

  • "Show me all my Linear issues"
  • "Create a new issue titled 'Fix login bug' in the Frontend team"
  • "Change the status of issue FE-123 to 'In Progress'"
  • "Assign issue BE-456 to John Smith"
  • "Add a comment to issue UI-789: 'This needs to be fixed by Friday'"

Installation

Getting Your Linear API Token

To use MCP Linear, you'll need a Linear API token. Here's how to get one:

  1. Log in to your Linear account at linear.app
  2. Click on organization avatar (in the top-left corner)
  3. Select Settings
  4. Navigate to Security & access in the left sidebar
  5. Under Personal API Keys click New API Key
  6. Give your key a name (e.g., MCP Linear Integration)
  7. Copy the generated API token and store it securely - you won't be able to see it again!
  • To install MCP Linear for Cursor:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @tacticlaunch/mcp-linear --client cursor
  • To install MCP Linear for Claude Desktop:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @tacticlaunch/mcp-linear --client claude

Manual Configuration

Add the following to your MCP settings file:

{ "mcpServers": { "linear": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@tacticlaunch/mcp-linear"], "env": { "LINEAR_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>" } } } }
Client-Specific Configuration Locations
  • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
  • Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Claude VSCode Extension: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
