About Linear (by jerhadf)
The Linear MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Linear's project management system with LLMs. It allows AI assistants to interact with Linear issues directly, enabling searching, creating, updating issues, adding comments, and retrieving user/team/organization information. The server is now deprecated in favor of the official Linear remote MCP server, but remains functional for existing setups.
