Claude Desktop Linear create_comment

Add Linear to Claude Desktop

1. 01

   Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. 02

   Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

3. 03

   Ask for something create_comment does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls create_comment itself — you do not invoke it by name.

4. 04

   If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Linear's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
