Linear MCP server

Official

Linear MCP is the official Model Context Protocol server for Linear, with OAuth and tools that let agents create, search, and update issues, comments, projects, milestones, and documents. Connect it through the Speakeasy MCP Gateway and agents such as Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT get one governed URL for it, with SSO, RBAC, and a full audit trail.

Questions

What is a Linear MCP server?
A Linear MCP server exposes Linear to AI agents as Model Context Protocol tools. Instead of a custom integration per agent, any MCP client can connect to the server and call tools such as get_attachment or create_attachment to work with Linear. The server in this catalog is the official Linear MCP server, which authenticates with OAuth.
What can you do with Linear MCP?
Agents can create, search, and update issues, comments, projects, milestones, and documents. The catalog lists 31 tools for this server, including get_attachment, create_attachment, and delete_attachment. The full list with descriptions is on this page.
Why put Linear MCP behind an MCP gateway?
Connecting the Linear MCP server directly to each client means a separate credential per developer, no inventory of who can reach Linear through an agent, and no record of what agents did with it. An MCP gateway sits between every agent and the Linear server, so sign-in runs through your identity provider, role-based access decides which teams can call which Linear tools, and every call is inspected and logged in one place. The Speakeasy MCP Gateway applies those controls to Linear and to every other server in your catalog.
How do you connect Linear MCP through a gateway?
Add the Linear server from the Speakeasy MCP catalog and every agent reaches it through one gateway URL, next to the rest of your approved servers. Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, sign-in runs through your identity provider, and role-based access controls decide which teams can use which Linear tools. Every prompt, response, and tool call is inspected and logged at the gateway.
How is this different from an unofficial Linear MCP?
Community-built Linear MCP servers wrap the same Linear surface but are not vendor-maintained, and most authenticate with a static credential that gives an agent everything the credential owner can touch. This catalog lists the official Linear MCP server, which uses OAuth. Running it behind the Speakeasy MCP Gateway adds SSO, role-based access, and an audit trail of every call.
