Gemini CLI Linear create_comment
How to: Gemini CLI Linear create_comment
Add Linear to Gemini CLI
-
01
Open ~/.gemini/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://mcp.linear.app/mcp"
}
}
}
-
02
Save the file and restart Gemini CLI.
-
03
Ask for something create_comment does. Gemini CLI lists the server's tools on connect and calls create_comment itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Linear's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Gemini expands $VAR and ${VAR} inside env values, so a secret can live in your shell rather than this file. Gemini CLI docs
Same tool, other clients
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
