Connection
Remote: https://mcp.linear.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Auth is OAuth 2.1 (or a Bearer token) through your Linear account: your client opens a login window and requests access to the workspace teams you choose. No local install needed — the server is fully hosted.
Tools
Read and write access to Linear's core entities:
list_issues,get_issue,create_issue,update_issue— issues: filtered search, creation, editing status/priority/assignee.list_teams,list_projects,list_cycles— teams, projects and cycles (sprints).list_comments,create_comment— issue discussion.list_users— workspace members for assigning issues.
Agent flow
"Show my issues in the current cycle with status In Progress", "file a bug from this description and assign it to Backend", "how many Frontend team issues were closed last week?".
Pricing
The MCP server is free for any Linear account; limits come only from your Linear plan (Free/Business/Enterprise) and your user permissions.
