Connect Cursor to the Linear MCP server


Overview
Cursor is a code editor designed for AI-assisted development. Connecting Linear’s MCP server lets Cursor’s inline agent open context from your issues or create new issues without leaving the IDE.
Setup instructions
- CTRL/CMD Shift J to open Cursor Settings.
- Select MCP.
- Select Add new global MCP server.
- Add the following:
{
"mcpServers": {
"linear": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/sse"]
}
}
}
Remote MCP connections are still early and we've found that the connection may fail or require multiple attempts. If you experience issues, try restarting your client or disabling and re-enabling the Linear MCP server.
