linear-context

The linear-context server is a TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed specifically for integrating with Linear's project management tools. With this server, you can streamline how your applications interact with Linear, enabling efficient data retrieval and manipulation through a structured model context. Developers use this server to enhance their project workflows by automating tasks and improving collaboration within teams.

Once connected to the linear-context server, you can interact with Linear's API using GraphQL queries tailored to your project's needs. While specific tools are not documented for this server, you can leverage standard queries such as fetching issues, updating tasks, or creating new projects. It’s best to use well-structured queries to maximize the efficiency of your API calls and ensure optimal performance.

Prerequisites

Before installing linear-context, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• Node.js (version 12 or later)

Option A: Quick Start with npx

You can quickly start using linear-context without installing it globally by executing the following command:

npx -y linear-context

Option B: Global Install Alternative

If you'd prefer to install the linear-context server globally, you can run:

npm install -g linear-context

For optimal performance, consider configuring your environment variables to include your Linear API token, which is necessary for authentication. You may also want to handle rate limiting on your API requests to avoid disruptions. A common gotcha is ensuring that your Node.js version is compatible; check the documentation if you encounter issues during installation or runtime.
