Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.

claude mcp add --transport http linear https://mcp.linear.app/mcpAdd --scope user to make it available in every project.
- Open Settings → Connectors

- Paste
https://mcp.linear.app/mcp - Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"linear": {
"url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"linear": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.

How do I connect Linear to Claude?

Do I need to install anything to use the Linear MCP server?
No. It is a remote server hosted by Linear, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.
