Linear

Catalog name linear. A remote MCP server for Linear issues, projects and cycles.

What it’s for

An agent that starts from your one-line instruction builds what you said, not what the issue says. This connector closes that gap: it reads the issue with its description, its comments and its state, and it updates the issue when the work lands, so the board stays true without a second pass from you.

It writes as well as reads, with the rights of the account you sign in with.

Add it

At init, or to an existing workbench:

monoceros init acme --with-mcp-servers=linear

monoceros add-mcp-server acme linear

Then apply:

monoceros apply acme

Signing in

There is no key to fill. Linear’s server authenticates interactively, so the yml entry is one line and you sign in once from inside the container:

mcpServers:
  - name: linear

The per-agent step is in Servers that sign in.

Where it runs

Remote (http), at https://mcp.linear.app/mcp. The request leaves the container.

Verify it

monoceros check acme

MCP servers
  linear → Claude Code
      signs in interactively; authenticate once inside the container

That line means the server is registered with every agent and waiting for a sign-in. Once you have signed in, ask the agent for an issue by its identifier.

Remove it
