## Official Linear MCP Server Configuration
Linear has an official MCP and it's easy to customize and doesn't require an extension to help with the installation.
```json
"context_servers": {
"mcp-server-linear": { // name can be whatever you want
"url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp",
"headers": { // optional, if you don't want to use the OAuth flow
"Authorization": "Bearer <your linear token>"
}
}
}
```
