}About this server
Linear is listed in the Productivity category of the MCPNav directory. It is distributed as Streamable HTTP and can be loaded by any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol.
Typical uses include giving your assistant scoped access to the corresponding service so it can answer questions and take actions with real data instead of guessing. Always review what a server can access before you enable it — see our MCP security guide.
