About
Overview
The Linear MCP server makes your AI assistant a full participant in your project management workflow. It can create issues, update statuses, search for work items, and summarize your sprint — all without leaving your editor or Claude.
For engineering teams using Linear as their source of truth for work, this integration eliminates context-switching. Your AI can file bugs discovered during a code review, triage backlog items, or give you a daily summary of your assigned issues.
Getting Your Linear API Key
- Open Linear and go to Settings (bottom-left gear icon).
- Navigate to API in the left sidebar.
- Under Personal API Keys, click Create key.
- Name the key (e.g., "MCP Server") and click Create.
- Copy the key (starts with
lin_api_) and paste it into your config.
Note: Linear API keys provide full access to your workspace. Treat them like passwords and never commit them to source control.
