Linear MCP Server
⚠ No independent security audit: entries summarize official sources only. Review permissions and code before installing.
- Type
- MCP server
- Tasks
- Planning & reasoning
- Compatible agents
- Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Jules, v0 (source: clients with a setup section in Linear's official MCP docs (linear.app/docs/mcp))
- Verdict
- Pick it when the agent should read or update Linear issues and projects; use the /mcp/readonly endpoint or the read scope when it only needs to look things up.
- Permissions
- Finds, creates and updates Linear objects such as issues, projects and comments in your workspace; read-only access via https://mcp.linear.app/mcp/readonly or by requesting only the `read` OAuth scope.
- Credentials
- Linear OAuth 2.1 (interactive flow), or a Linear API key / OAuth token sent as an Authorization: Bearer header.
- Maintenance

- License
- Not stated (hosted service, no public source repository)
