Provides tools for interacting with Linear's API, enabling AI agents to manage issues, projects, teams, and comments programmatically through the Linear platform.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@linear-mcp find all high priority issues assigned to me"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A production-grade, open-source MCP server connecting Claude to Linear, plus a reference agent that completes a real multi-step task across it.
Target role this answers: Forward-Deployed Engineer — this is the literal artifact Anthropic's FDE JD asks for: "deliver technical artifacts for customers like MCP servers."
Pillar: Integration + hardening — a public, verifiable artifact (GitHub + npm) with engineering rigor most candidates never show.
🏗️ Build status: scaffolding. Project 2 of 3. Also doubles as the escalation backend for
support-copilot.
A TypeScript MCP server on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk exposing 6–10 typed tools over the Linear API (search / get / create / update / comment, list teams / projects), wrapped in a real resilience layer.
Related MCP server: streamlinear
Tools — zod-typed input + output schemas for each tool.
Resilience layer — OAuth/token handling, rate-limit handling, retries with exponential backoff, pagination, idempotency, structured recoverable errors.
Reference agent — Claude with tool use completing a real cross-system task end to end.
Quality — vitest suite + tool-use evals (right tool, right args, across N scenarios; reuses the EvalOps harness) + GitHub Actions CI.
Distribution — published to npm + listed in an MCP registry.
