Hosting

Remote hosted

Transport

Streamable HTTP

Endpoint

https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

Authentication

OAuth 2.1, bearer token, or Linear API key; read-only endpoint is /mcp/readonly.

Requirements

• Linear account and workspace
• MCP client supporting remote Streamable HTTP or a documented mcp-remote bridge
• Workspace permissions sufficient for requested data/actions

Setup steps

1. Add https://mcp.linear.app/mcp as a remote Streamable HTTP server.
2. Complete browser OAuth sign-in and approve access.
3. For read-only access, use https://mcp.linear.app/mcp/readonly or request only the read OAuth scope.
4. Confirm the server appears connected; start with a read-only search before enabling writes.

These five identifiers are examples only. The hosted toolset is evolving and permission-sensitive; /mcp/readonly or a read-only OAuth scope restricts access to read tools.

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

• Write operations can change workspace data.
• Available tools and access depend on authenticated user permissions.
• The legacy /sse endpoint is deprecated; use Streamable HTTP /mcp for new setups.
