Linear
The Linear MCP Server provides integration between Claude and Linear's issue tracking system through the Model Context Protocol, enabling LLMs to interact with Linear issues via the Linear GraphQL API. It offers tools to create issues, update existing issues, search issues with flexible filtering options, retrieve user-assigned issues, and add comments to issues. This server solves the problem of allowing AI assistants to directly manage and query Linear project management data without manual API integration.
