What is the Linear MCP Server?

This is middleware that connects an AI assistant (such as Claude) to the Linear project management system. Through the standardized MCP protocol, AI can read and modify project data in Linear, enabling intelligent project management.

How to use the Linear MCP Server?

Simply configure the API key, and the AI assistant can automatically obtain permissions to manage your Linear projects. It supports common operations such as issue tracking, status updates, and comment addition.

Use cases

Suitable for teams that need AI-assisted management of software projects, especially scenarios where natural language instructions are used to handle Linear tasks.

Main features

Data query
Read all Linear data such as users, teams, projects, and issues
Issue management
Create/update issues, modify status, and assign owners
Collaboration features
Add comments, tags, and participate in issue discussions
Project operations
Create and manage projects and teams
Advantages
No complex configuration required, can be quickly accessed with an API key
Fully covers the core functions of Linear
