README

linear-mcp

Multi-workspace Linear MCP server with Personal API Key auth. Drop-in replacement for the official OAuth-only Linear MCP at mcp.linear.app/mcp.

Why this exists. The official Linear MCP is OAuth-only and single-workspace per instance. PAT auth plus persistent token storage plus multi-workspace routing kills three failure modes:

The OAuth flow is brittle across MCP client session boundaries — auth state expires when a session resumes mid-flow.
The localhost callback fails in some setups, forcing fragile paste-back flows.
One MCP instance per workspace doubles config + OAuth dances.

This server replaces both with one entry. One install, N workspaces, never an OAuth dance again.

Install

From PyPI

pipx install adelaidasofia-linear-mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/adelaidasofia/linear-mcp ~/.claude/linear-mcp
cd ~/.claude/linear-mcp
pip install -e .

Claude Desktop one-click

Download the latest .mcpb from Releases and double-click.

Configure

Generate one Personal API Key per workspace at https://linear.app/settings/account/security. You must be logged into each workspace separately while generating the key for that workspace.
Create ~/.claude/linear-mcp/admin.env (chmod 600):

LINEAR_WORKSPACES=personal,work
LINEAR_PRIMARY_WORKSPACE=personal

LINEAR_PAT_PERSONAL=lin_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
LINEAR_PAT_WORK=lin_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

LINEAR_LABEL_PERSONAL=Personal
LINEAR_LABEL_WORK=Work

Aliases are arbitrary — name them whatever helps you route (acme,beta, team1,team2, home,client).

chmod 600 ~/.claude/linear-mcp/admin.env

claude mcp add -s user linear-mcp python3 -m linear_mcp.server

Or, with pipx install:

claude mcp add -s user linear-mcp linear-mcp

Restart Claude Code. healthcheck should return ok: true per workspace.

Substrate-layer enforcement (v0.3)

Three server-side checks that protect issue quality without depending on any markdown rule file or client-side memory. Apply only to WRITE paths; reads stay unconstrained.

Layer	What it does	Bypass env var
`[source:]` first-line check	`save_issue` / `save_project` reject CREATE calls whose `description` (or project `content`) does not start with `[source: <canonical-key>]`. UPDATE calls (`id` passed) skip the check so legacy backfills remain unblocked.	`LINEAR_MCP_SKIP_SOURCE_CHECK=1`
Idempotency check	Before any CREATE, the server runs `searchIssues` / `searchProjects` for `[source: <key>]` and refuses to create a duplicate. The error names the existing identifier + UUID so the caller can update in place.	`LINEAR_MCP_SKIP_IDEMPOTENCY=1`
`auth_phrase` on `bulk_save_issues`	`bulk_save_issues` now requires `auth_phrase` ∈ {`"go"`, `"yes do it"`, `"confirmed"`, `"execute"`, `"go cancel"`, `"go update"`} (case-insensitive). Mass-modification surface stays explicit.	(no bypass — surface the phrase to the operator)

Fast issue execution

linear-exec is the short path for starting real work from a Linear issue. It resolves the issue, checks blocking relations, scans same-project siblings for obvious scope overlap, infers the repo when possible, and can create the standard claude-dev-worktree branch.

Dry-run a specific issue:

linear-exec execute MYC-150 --workspace mycelium

Start the work after reviewing the preflight:

linear-exec execute MYC-150 --workspace mycelium --repo memory-ru
