Linear

Generally Available

Linear MCP Server connects AI agents to your Linear workspace, letting them find, create, and update issues, manage projects and milestones, and add comments. User mode uses OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration; agent mode supports API keys (including read-only keys for safer automation).

Enterprise-Managed Authorization

Linear's authorization server accepts an identity assertion from your identity provider (an ID-JAG) in place of a per-user OAuth consent.

That puts access to Linear in your identity provider: groups and policy there decide who may reach it, rather than each person approving a consent screen.

Seen in Linear's OAuth authorization-server metadata on 24 Oct 2026. That says the server implements the grant; which identity providers it accepts is set up with Linear.

Before you connect

  • User mode uses OAuth 2.1 with automatic client registration — no manual OAuth app setup needed
  • For read-only access in agent mode, create a restricted API key
  • Linear MCP server is centrally hosted at mcp.linear.app — no self-hosting required
