Linear MCP server

Linear MCP server⁠

Your AI models and agents can use our official MCP server to access your Linear data in a simple and secure way.

Connect to our MCP server natively as a new Claude Integration, or by using the mcp-remote module in Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients.

We're following the authenticated remote MCP spec, so the server is centrally hosted and managed. It has tools available for finding, creating, and updating objects in Linear like issues, projects, and comments — with more functionality on the way.

We're excited to see how you and your agents use Linear data to power your workflows. If you have questions, feedback, or requests for new MCP tools, please let us know.

We want to thank our partners at Cloudflare and Anthropic for helping us get up and running. For anyone in the community looking to build their own MCP server, Cloudflare provides excellent guides and hosting options.
