Linear MCP Server
Provides comprehensive project management tools for interacting with Linear's API, enabling management of projects, initiatives, issues, and relationships between them, with support for prioritization.
This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Linear MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server for the Linear API.
Intended to be more feature rich than existing Linear MCP servers and intended for holistic project management via Claude.
This is based off of https://github.com/jerhadf/linear-mcp-server with more functionality.
Features:
Initiatives
Projects
Issues
Relationships
Prioritization
Installation
Add server config to Claude Desktop.
NOTE: Claude does not work well with nvm environments. Make sure to reference the version of Node with its absolute path.

Example
User:
Break the Implement Contact API Endpoints issue into multiple issues, one for each endpoint
Claude:
I'll break down the API endpoints issue into separate issues for each endpoint and create the appropriate relationships.
View result from create-issue from linear (local)
View result from create-issue from linear (local)
View result from create-issue from linear (local)
View result from create-issue from linear (local)
View result from create-issue from linear (local)
Now let's create the relationships between these new issues and the existing ones. First, they all depend on the TypeScript Models issue:
View result from create-issue-relation from linear (local)
View result from create-issue-relation from linear (local)
View result from create-issue-relation from linear (local)
View result from create-issue-relation from linear (local)
View result from create-issue-relation from linear (local)
I've created five separate issues for each endpoint and set up their relationships:
GET /contacts (List) - d1aae514
GET /contacts/:id (Single) - 01850d5d
POST /contacts (Create) - 2e0f2b75
PUT /contacts/:id (Update) - d22b143d
DELETE /contacts/:id (Delete) - dde30779
All of these endpoints depend on the TypeScript Models issue (2c38c6ee) being completed first.
The UI Components issue (dd214884) and Search/Filter issue (81a33a29) now should depend on the completion of these endpoint issues, particularly the GET endpoints.
Would you like me to:
Create those additional relationships with the UI Components?
Add any specific cross-dependencies between the endpoints themselves?
Break down any of these endpoint issues into more granular tasks?This server cannot be deployed
