Linear MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Linear, providing tools for issue tracking and project management.

Configuration

Go to Linear security settings and create an API key:

linear-security-settings

Then, configure it with the LINEAR_API_KEY env variable:

# Add to your .env file LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_xxxxxxxxxxxx # Or export as environment variable export LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_xxxxxxxxxxxx

Running the Server

uvx --from git+https://github.com/vinayak-mehta/linear-mcp linear-mcp

Docker

docker build -t linear-mcp:latest . docker run -it --rm -e LINEAR_API=lin_api_xxxxxx linear-mcp:latest

And to use this in Claude Desktop, it would look like this:

"linear-mcp-server": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-it", "--rm", "-e", "LINEAR_API_KEY=lin_api_xxxxxx", "linear-mcp-server:latest" ] }
