Setup
Install Linear Issues in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/keegancsmith/linear-issues-mcp-server
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
This is a simple MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides read-only access to Linear issues. It allows language models to fetch Linear issues and their associated data using a Linear API token.
- linear_get_issue: Fetches basic details about a Linear issue by URL or identifier
- linear_get_issue_with_comments: Fetches complete information about a Linear issue including all comments
- Node.js
- A Linear API token or OAuth access token
No installation is needed if you use npx. Just make sure you have Node.js and npm installed.
You can obtain a Linear API token in two ways:
-
API Key (simplest):Generate an API key in yourLinear API settings
OAuth Token:For more advanced use cases or user-specific access
- Create an OAuth2 application in Linear
- Follow the OAuth flow to get a user access token
To use this MCP server with Claude for Desktop:
-
Make sure you have your Linear API token ready
Add the server to your Claude for Desktop configuration at:
- MacOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux:~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:%AppData%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
