@linear/mcp

The Linear MCP Server wires your Linear workspace into the AI: query issues, create tasks, update status, and check project progress — all in natural language.

For example, "break these meeting notes into Linear issues and assign them to the right people" — the AI calls this server to create them in bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What permissions does it need?

It needs a Linear API key to read and write your workspace — configure the scope as needed.

Can it auto-assign owners?

Yes — if you say who to assign in your prompt, the AI creates the issue with that assignee.
