What it does
An early community MCP server for Linear, published on npm as linear-mcp-server and run locally with npx over stdio. Given a Linear API key in an environment variable, it offers tools to create and update issues, search them with filters, list the issues assigned to a user and add comments, and it exposes single issues, team issue lists, a user's assignments and organisation details as MCP resources. The author has marked it deprecated and no longer maintained, and points users to Linear's own hosted server instead. The README's setup instructions cover Claude Desktop.
Capabilities
- Create and update Linear issues
- Search issues with filters
- List issues assigned to a user
- Add comments to issues
