How reviewers scored it

  • Setup & docs 4.7
  • Auth experience 4.7
  • Reliability 4.7
  • Maintainer responsiveness 3.7

Why this grade

First-party, OAuth-backed, hosted over HTTP with scoped tokens. One of the better-secured integrations in the directory: no long-lived API key in a config file, and the remote transport avoids the stdio command-execution class entirely.

How to connect

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

OAuth done right, nothing to babysit

Remote HTTP transport with scoped OAuth means there is no API key sitting in a config file. Set it up in Claude Code in two minutes, ran it against a real workspace for three weeks, zero surprises. The token scopes are honoured — it could not touch projects I did not grant.

Solid; wish the rate limits were documented

Works well and the auth model is the right one. Only friction was hitting an undocumented rate limit during a bulk backfill — backed off and it was fine. For day-to-day agent use it is a non-issue.

The one integration I stopped worrying about

No local process, no secret to rotate. If more servers were built like this the directory would be half as necessary.
