3 integrations · MCP · GraphQL · CLI

Linear exposes a GraphQL API at `api.linear.app`, a remote MCP server at `mcp.linear.app/mcp`, and a `linear` CLI; authentication is via personal API keys, OAuth 2.0 apps, or MCP OAuth depending on surface.

Personal API keyapi_keyGet key ↗

In Linear, open Security & Access and create a personal API key. Workspace admins can control whether members may create keys; admins can always create them. When creating a key, you can scope it to permissions such as Read, Write, Admin, Create issues, and Create comments, and optionally restrict it to specific teams.

OAuth 2.0 — self-onboarding

Point your MCP client at the server URL and approve access in the browser. The server accepts a Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD), so the client authenticates with its own hosted URL as the client_id — nothing to register.

Acquired by the CLI — running linear auth opens the auth flow and stores the credential.
