Linear MCP Server
IMPORTANT NOTE: This MCP Server is now deprecated and is no longer being maintained. I recommend you use the official Linear remote MCP server here: https://linear.app/changelog/2025-05-01-mcp (https://mcp.linear.app/sse)
A Model Context Protocol server for the Linear API.
This server provides integration with Linear's issue tracking system through MCP, allowing LLMs to interact with Linear issues.
