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

  1. CTRL/CMD Shift J to open Cursor Settings.
  2. Select MCP.
  3. Select Add new global MCP server.
  4. Add the following:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

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.
