        "path": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/sse"],
        "env": {}
      },
      "settings": {}

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.
