Linear MCP server
Short answer: Yes. Linear has an official MCP server: app.linear/linear, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified linear.app domain and hosted at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp.
This page covers the official server for Linear and the community alternatives, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.
What can you do with the Linear MCP server?
Linear's official server is hosted at mcp.linear.app and finds and manages issues, projects and documents in your workspace. Linear also documents a read-only endpoint for assistants that should only look.
- Create issues from a product spec, assigned to the right team and cycle.
- Ask what is blocked in the current cycle and why.
- Update issue status and add a comment after a fix is merged.
Is there an official Linear MCP server?
Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under Linear's own namespace: app.linear/linear. 8 community servers are listed too.
What should you check before connecting Linear?
- Use the read-only endpoint for reporting and summaries.
- Writes act as you, so review issue creation in bulk before running it.

How do I connect the Linear MCP server to Claude?
The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.
In Claude Code, run:
claude mcp add --transport http linear https://mcp.linear.app/mcpDoes the Linear MCP server work with ChatGPT?
A hosted endpoint is available at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.
How do I add it to Cursor?
Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:
{
"mcpServers": {
"linear": {
"url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
}
}
}
