An MCP server for Linear kept in the Cline organisation on GitHub.
What it does
An MCP server for Linear kept in the Cline organisation on GitHub. It is not published as a package: users clone the repository, install dependencies, build it and point Cline's MCP settings at the compiled script, passing a Linear personal API key in the environment. Listed operations include creating, updating, searching and deleting issues (singly or in bulk), linking issues to projects, parent and child relationships, reading and writing comments, creating and searching projects with rich-text descriptions, and reading team states and labels. OAuth sign-in is described but marked as not implemented, and bulk updates are still in testing.
