Linear MCP Server
Issues, projects, cycles from an agent
Linear's official remote MCP server (built with Anthropic and Cloudflare) lets an AI create and update issues, search projects, move cycles and report velocity — 25+ tools over OAuth, nothing to host. Add the hosted endpoint https://mcp.linear.app/mcp as a remote connector; for stdio-only clients, bridge it with the mcp-remote command below.
