Introduction

The ultimate developer ticketing sync tool. Linear MCP connects agents to Linear workspaces to find issues, assign tickets, manage statuses, and build burndown logs.

Key Capabilities and Features

Below are the main actions this adapter exposes to Model Context Protocol clients:

  • List project tickets: Handled dynamically with schema-guaranteed JSON-RPC calls.
  • Create backlogs issues: Handled dynamically with schema-guaranteed JSON-RPC calls.
  • Reassign ticket statuses: Handled dynamically with schema-guaranteed JSON-RPC calls.
  • Retrieve team members: Handled dynamically with schema-guaranteed JSON-RPC calls.

Sample Use Cases

Here is how development teams utilize this integration:

  1. Automated bug triage pipelines: Enabling models to execute deep semantic checks and audits contextually.
  2. Progress updates and summaries reporting: Enabling models to execute deep semantic checks and audits contextually.
  3. Syncing Linear tickets with codebases: Enabling models to execute deep semantic checks and audits contextually.

Basic Installation and Setup

To plug this into your agent client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor), execute or declare the following parameters coordinate:

pip install mcp-server-linear

Security Notes and Guidelines

  • Isolate token to designated developer teams. Clean out tickets that contain sensitive server passwords before agent loops run.
  • Avoid committing tokens directly to public configurations.
  • Monitor resource limits during autonomous iteration loops.
