Linear MCP Server
Added 17 May 2026
Overview
Linear's official MCP server gives agents structured access to Linear: read and write issues, manage projects and cycles, comment on threads, search across the workspace. Pairs cleanly with GitHub MCP for the full issue-to-PR loop on a Linear-led team.

Linear-first product and engineering teams running agents
Use cases

- Generate weekly cycle summaries from real Linear data
- Create and update issues from any agent workflow
- Bridge GitHub PR activity into the right Linear issue
Notes
Why it matters
Linear is the modern issue tracker. An official MCP server here is the clearest signal that the next generation of project-management automation runs through agents, not through webhooks.
How teams use it in production
Wire Linear MCP and GitHub MCP into the same agent session. The agent can move an issue from triage to PR to closed without anyone touching the browser.
What to watch
The Linear and GitHub MCP combination is the cleanest workflow loop in the ecosystem today. Expect Jira to ship a competing official server soon.
