Overview
Linear MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Linear's project management capabilities to AI assistants, enabling natural language interactions with Linear data. It provides access to core resources such as issues, projects, teams, users, roadmaps, documents, and initiatives, as well as specialized endpoints for roadmaps, milestones, documents, integrations, and organization details. The server includes tools for creating and updating issues and projects, performing searches across Linear entities, and linking projects to initiatives. It also ships prompt templates for common workflows, including issue creation, bug reports, feature requests, and project planning updates. The MCP server supports multiple transport modes: a stdio interface for CLI-based usage and an HTTP server with Server-Sent Events (SSE) for remote connections. Setup requires Node.js 18 or later and a Linear API key (LINEAR_API_KEY). The README describes usage commands (npm start for stdio, node dist/index.js http for HTTP/SSE) and Claude Desktop integration, along with resource URIs such as linear://issues and linear://projects for programmatic access.
