Linear's hosted MCP server for issues, projects, and comments — OAuth, no local install.

Linear's first-party hosted MCP server at mcp.linear.app/mcp. Gives Claude read-write access to issues, projects, cycle data, and comments, with a dedicated read-only endpoint variant. Authentication is OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration, so setup is a link-and-approve flow rather than an API token. The official way to drive Linear from Claude Code or any MCP-aware agent.

What it does

  • Official remote MCP server hosted by Linear at `https://mcp.linear.app/mcp` (Streamable HTTP)
  • OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration; bearer token / API key also supported
  • Dedicated read-only endpoint `https://mcp.linear.app/mcp/readonly` exposes only read tools
  • Tools cover issues, projects, comments — find, create, update

When to use it

Let Claude triage a Linear backlog, turn a planning doc into structured issues, or post standup updates — without leaving the editor. Use the readonly endpoint when Claude should never write.

Getting started

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

then run /mcp in a session to complete OAuth.

Other clients (Cursor/VS Code/Zed/etc.):

{
  "linear": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"]
  }
}

Things to know

The default `/mcp` endpoint is read-write — anything the authenticated Linear user can do, the agent can attempt. Prefer `/mcp/readonly` or the `read` OAuth scope for untrusted workflows. Codex needs `experimental_use_rmcp_client = true` in config.toml.
