Linear

§1What it does

Linear hosts a centrally managed remote MCP server with OAuth authentication. It lets agents search and manage issues, projects and comments in your Linear workspace. A read-only endpoint is also available.

§2Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "linear": {
      "url": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

claude mcp add --transport http linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/mcp

Snippets adapted from the official documentation. Check the official page for current options and auth requirements.

§2bWhen you disconnect

1. Removed locallyClear the sign-in or remove the server in your MCP client (for example claude mcp logout or claude mcp remove in Claude Code, or log out of the server in Cursor). This only deletes the client's copy of the tokens.
2. Authorization revokedRevoke the grant on Linear's app-permissions page: Linear → Settings → Account → Security & access → Authorized applications ↗. This is what stops the refresh token; clearing the client alone is not enough.

Why both steps: OAuth token refresh in the security checklist.
